Unforgettable Experience at Bukit Elephant Park - Visiting Bukit Elephant Park was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The park offers a beautiful, respectful and ethical environment for interacting with these magnificent animals. Our tour gave us the opportunity to walk along side the elephants in a calm and natural setting. It was amazing to see how well cared and relaxed the elephants were - no chains no pressure to perform just genuine interaction and education. Highly recommended for families, animal lovers and anyone looking for an ethical experience.

Great Experience without having to buy into cruelty of animals - Was amazing, very informative and fun without having elephants being put through cruelty for our entertainment which was nice to know. The guide -Gift was lovely and you could see how passionate she is about her job when talking about the elephants and to you. Would recommend anyone here 1000x over any other elephant experience and will support them to fund more rescues of other elephants living in poor conditions

Great Experience - It took us sometime to choose what elephant tour we book from GetYourGuide, luckily we landed on this one. It was a pleasure being guided by Sara in the park I was amazed by how well Sara knows each and every elephant in the park including their different attitude! We were also informed the ELEPHANTS DON’T LIKE BEING RIDED OR BATHED so please avoid doing that. Instead we fed them bananas and made rice balls for them! When you pay for tickets you are also donating the ticket fees to the park ;)

A day we will never forget - What an unforgettable experience that exceeded our expectations.
This is an ethical sanctuary where you are not allowed to ride or wash the elephants. You can feed and some you are allowed to touch (the caretakers will advise who likes what and has to be present at all times).
We chose the package where we made the rice balls to feed to the elephants and this was a great experience.
This place really cares for the elephants and is giving them their best life now they have been rescued. Out tour was led by Gift, who was very knowledgeable and provided the elephants backgrounds. Some of these are heart breaking but great to see they are now safe and living a much better life. Would 100% recommend!

Rescued Elephants - Visited the sanctuary today. It was very informative to learn about the elephants. There was 7 elephants to see. They are very well cared for after being rescued from other parks who use them to ride on their backs etc. The elephants there have been previously abused. We got to feed them and watch them roam around the sanctuary. It was wonderful! Definitely worth a visit

Highly recommended ethical tour - Excellent experience. Great to see the elephants in their own environment moving freely. The staff are amazing and ensure elephants move freely and not forced into any situations. Very ethical and informative. We learned about each individual elephant and their history. It was great to learn about each elephant and their own temperament which allowed us to interact with some elephants (not all) with the support of their individual handlers.
Our guide was so lovely and knowledgeable. She answered all questions and was so helpful. (Apologies I forgot her name, but we were at the morning tour on 18th May)
