Purchase a Nature Reserve ticket for access to the Skywalk and other attractions like St. Michael's Cave and the Apes' Den.
Visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon for the best views and lighting for photos.

Be mindful of the Barbary macaques; do not feed them, and keep your belongings secure.
