My personal experience was on the bike, if you love to explore or you want a better view experience or you love adventure, I would definitely suggest you go on a bike ride and feel the place, the roads are insane, at many points you can experience off-roading so it's a little dangerous too so if you are an experienced rider than only dare to go on a bike because safety comes first.
