It was worth it - The drive was long but worth it. I didn’t mind the bumpy road..especially on the way back. I had a great driver (Edgar) The experience was amazing. they charge .25 to use the bathroom at the port but bathrooms are free on islands. The lunch was decent. The chicken was dry for me but otherwise great trip and recommend.
