Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been here a long long time ago before it even was discovered so this should be interesting for me

it was the beginning of off season there was still massive crowds because four ships were visiting at the same time

the cable car is kind of a problem if you have any kind of mobility issues or handicap any way where you need to sit down

my recommendation would be to probably get out really early in the morning

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get out really early in the morning to avoid crowds
Allow at least an hour to get out of the ship and up to the top
Bring sunscreen and patience for long waits
Consider the 600-step option if able, but be aware donkeys only go up partway
Inform staff about mobility issues as accommodations are limited
