Try to arrive around 9 AM when the doors open. The lines can get pretty long as the day goes on, and you’ll want to make the most of your visit without the crowd.

For the best experience try to go around 5 PM on a weekday. It was much less crowded then and I could really soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed.

If you're planning to take photos keep your camera handy during the tour. Some of the coolest views pop up unexpectedly and I missed a couple because I didn't have mine out

I suggest wearing good shoes! The cave can get slippery in some spots, and I almost slipped a few times. Comfort is key here!

I suggest booking your tickets online in advance to avoid long queues, especially during the summer. It saved me so much time!

If you want to avoid crowds, come by 9:00 AM. I went around 10:30 AM, and it was packed! Early bird definitely catches the cave!

Bring a light jacket! It's pretty cool inside the cave, even in summer. I was cold after a while, and the views are better when you're not shivering!

If you want to save some cash, try to visit on a weekday. The weekend crowd can really hike up the prices for tastings and tours, and you get a more relaxed vibe during the week.

I suggest wearing comfortable shoes! The ground can be a bit uneven in some areas, and you'll want to enjoy the stroll without tripping over anything.

If you're on a budget, check for combo tickets with nearby attractions. I saved some cash that way, and it’s a smart way to see more of the area.
