A very exciting experience with the true Gentle Giants! Indeed, something to put in everyone’s bucket list. A lot of tourists present even in the early morning so best to come very early to avoid a swarming pack of tourist.

Don't do it. These poor animals are dragged up and down lines of people ; more like a carnival experience. Thousands of people lined up from 6am, wait for hours for 20 minutes to watch them feed,; not natural.
