• Ferry and ship ticket counters
• Local taxis and auto-rickshaws
• Bike and scooty rentals
• Scuba diving and water activities
• Shopping and local markets

Digital payments are widely used in the main tourist centres, but carrying some cash is recommended when visiting remote islands or travelling away from major markets.
