Island Hopping (Ferries): The ferry is the main means of transportation between the islands. In high season, it is highly recommended to book tickets in advance, especially for the most popular routes or if you are traveling by car.

Cash: Although credit cards are widely accepted in cities and tourist areas, it is always useful to carry some cash. On smaller islands, family taverns or small businesses may not accept cards.

The 'Go-Go' Rhythm of Life: Adopt the local rhythm of life. 'Siga-siga' means 'slow, slow'. Meals are long, social events, and business hours may include an afternoon break, especially outside of the more touristy areas. Don't stress, relax and enjoy.

Tips: Tipping is not mandatory, but appreciated. In restaurants, it is common to round up the bill or leave between 5% and 10% if the service has been good. Often the service charge is not included.
