Tips
- Walk-ins generally fine outside peak season. Book ahead in November-February high season.
- Pair this with neighbouring spots in the same area to make a half-day of it.
- Carry small notes (20s and 100s) — many places don't break large bills.
- Cool season (November-February) is the most comfortable time to be out and about.
