I suggest bringing some snacks with you. The island is beautiful, but the food options can be a bit pricy, and I ended up spending more than I planned. A few packed snacks made my day so much better.

My advice is to rent a kayak for at least half a day... I didn’t realize how much I’d love paddling around and exploring the hidden coves... Just be sure to bring plenty of water as it can get really hot!

I suggest visiting Williams Falls early in the morning around 8 AM - you’ll have the place mostly to yourself and the lighting for photos is amazing. Got some great shots without the crowds.

My advice is to take extra snacks and water. Some trails are longer than they look, and you don’t wanna be caught hungry or thirsty out there.

I suggest you visit in the morning, around 9 AM, when it's cooler and the animals are more active. It's a great time for photos and you’ll avoid the crowds later in the day

I recommend bringing your own snacks and water. The café is a bit pricey and not too many options, so you'll save some cash and have more energy for exploring.

my advice is to grab some snacks before visiting. the small shop there is a bit limited and kind of pricey. i ended up spending more than i wanted for just a drink and a few chips.

I recommend you check the feeding times for animals, especially if you want to see them active. I missed the giraffe feeding and felt a bit bummed about it. Just an hour earlier would have made my visit way better!
