Do the waterfalls hike, if possible. Work off some of that cruise food! Also, double check the hours of the Parks’ observations deck and gift shop before you schedule the tour. We went early and had to wait in the rain for it to open.

There’s very little to see. It takes no more than 45 minutes to do and take pictures Its pretty but not worth the price

The bus was new leather seats, nice. Should have some cool air blowing through since it so crowded on the bus. Like the bus drivers jokes.
