Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Unlicensed cars or scooters offered for hire on the street: use licensed taxis, buses and ferries, and never ride a scooter without experience. (Scams)
- Pre-paid tour sellers near the ferry and cruise berths offering a private tour at a high price: compare with the official ferry and bus fares first. (Scams)
- Restaurant bills with service charge added on top of a tip line: check the total before adding more. (Scams)
