It was an amazing experience. We did have a difficult time finding the office to pick up our ticket. However, once we did locate the redemption point, staff members were helpful in getting us to the entry point.

Vacation trip
That you have to pick up the tickets almost 800 m (one way) away from the entrance. It is then transferred directly to your cell phone, as is the audio guide. But Dustin then explained to us exactly where the entrance is located.
