You're not just gonna stay holed up in a hotel room, are you? It's time to get out and enjoy the island. But be mindful where you go.
A tourist's dream can easily become a nightmare.

Now this is what a tropical vacation should be all about. Relaxing on a warm sandy beach, staring out at the clear blue sea, without a care in your head. There’s nowhere else in the world you would rather be right now.
B +9 Points
Some might think it a shame to spend your vacation time inside a museum, when there’s so much to do outdoors. But you’re the type who equally values a culture’s artistic contributions. And honestly you’re having a great time.
D +8 Points
A day at the amusement park means a day of fun. It also means long lines, screaming kids and price gouging. But you don’t mind. Your inner child is having a ball.
F + 7 Points
A boat tour is just the thing when one wants to experience the wonders of the sea. Unfortunately you also experience a bit of sea sickness.
J +6 Points
What is it about shopping in other countries that makes you go a little crazy? Exotic locations filled with strange and interesting trinkets. It’s only at the end of the day do you realize that you’ve spent half your vacation budget on carved coconut faces.
G +5 Points
A bus tour seems like a perfect vacation-type activity. This one promises curb-side views of celebrity homes. Sounds fun. Until you realize this is a five hour tour, and these are celebrities no one outside the island has heard of. Like the multi talented Bandook Montrose and the beautiful Xulana. You ask to get off, but are told to sit down, otherwise you’ll miss the hut of Kollog, the Wonder Boar.

You traipse on down to the beach to soak in some rays, and are stopped by the sight of various naughty bits just flappin’ in the breeze. Good lord, this is a nude beach! You turn to leave, but stop and think, “Well… when in Rome.” Though you’re not so nonchalant when you find a picture of your ass on the internet two months later.
C +3 Points
You decided to go see a traditional native dance held for the tourists. You, along with a few other spectators, are called forward to participate. You mimic the steps perfectly, and decide to throw in a little of your own fancy footwork for flourish. There’s an audible gasp. An islander explains that you have somehow, through dance, not only blasphemed against their god, but also accused their fathers of fornicating with gorillas. Completely embarrassed, you’re promptly asked to leave.
A +2 Points
There’s a part of you, as a tourist, that doesn’t want to be just a tourist. You want to experience the real people and locales of the island. You wander down a few back streets and find yourself before a club. Donkey Show? You love animal acts! … An hour later you totter out of the club, dazed, wide-eyed and pale. You never want to see an animal act again.
E +1 Point
Your vacation just won’t be complete without going scuba diving, your friends said. You’ll have a blast, they assured. Your friends obviously didn’t know about the annual shark migration round these parts. Nor could they have foreseen a shark chomping down on your tank, puncturing it, propelling you up and out of the water, and forcibly landing on an old man who just had hip surgery. -- You need different friends.
