She found us! She was waiting in a golf cart at the ferry port offering tours to the passengers. We just accepted! We were able to cover the whole island with her seeing the touristy side and residential sides. The touristy side is small enough that you don't need a guide but if you want to see where locals live then getting a guide is nice.
