We had a wonderful experience at the elephant sanctuary. Our guide, James, was so passionate and knowledgeable about the gentle giants, and his energy really opened the group up and made the experience so memorable. The elephants are well taken care of and the experience was very respectful towards them. We highly recommend this experience to people traveling to Harties. :) - Julia
