If you can, visit around 8 AM. The water is crystal clear and not too crowded yet. I loved having the beach nearly to myself.

I suggest bringing your own snorkeling gear if you can. Rentals can get a bit pricey and the quality isn’t always great. Plus, you’ll save some cash!

I think you should plan to stay for the sunset. The view is absolutely breathtaking and definitely worth the few extra minutes!

I think a sunset visit would be incredible! The view from the top at that time is just breathtaking, just check the closing times so you don’t get stuck!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The hike can be steeper than you'd expect and those cobblestone paths can be a bit slippery!

Check the weather before you go. I was caught in the sun without enough shade. There are some areas indoors, but the outdoor exhibits can get hot.

If you're planning to catch the fish feeding show, arrive 10 minutes early so you can grab a good spot. It's a highlight and fills up fast!

If you're into geology, don't miss the Solomon's Pillars. They’re breathtaking! But plan a good hour just to soak it all in, trust me!

I suggest starting your day around 8 AM to beat the heat and crowds. The morning light is also better for photos of the formations and scenery.

my advice is to download an offline map before you go. the cell service can be spotty out there, and getting lost in those beautiful landscapes was not fun for me.
