Scooter
Renting a scooter is a great way to cover and explore the island independently. For between $15 and $20 dollars a day, you can have the freedom to explore the island at your own pace and avoid the mini bus tours which generally cover the sites at the same times every day. You can have the sites largely to yourself if you avoid the sites at peak times, generally between 10.00 and 15.00 plus the light for photography is much better outside these times. Some agencies rent out scooters and quad bike although your accommodation may also offer a rental service. We rented from one of the many rental shops along the main street and bargained hard for a $15 a day rental over 3 days with a couple of free hours on the actual day of rental thrown in to sweeten the deal. Renting at the end of a day can give you the option of pointing out to the renter that they are unlikely to get another customer...
