A Must Do! - Fantastic experience and a great guide. The elephants are super playful and the Grand Canyon is a blast. Lunch is great and can be enjoyed with a scenic view of Chiang Mai and its lovely elephants.

A must to do in Changmai With Mr Big - We decided to do the full day tour with 3 activities. First off we hiked up to a waterfall on a small bush track zig zagging across the river various times on bamboo poles tied together and narrow. It was really fantastic adventure not bowing what obstacles were around the corner. Next was the elephants in the wild. Got to feed them, then down to the river with them to wash and scrub them in the river. Last but not least we went white water rafting. Got the adrenaline pumping and it was fun. Would highly recommend the day trip. Thanks to Mr Big Ping Pong for the great time we had. PS The driver was good too!

Amazing day with nice people - We had an amazing day with Korn and his friends today. Everything was perfect. We stayed with the elefants as long as we wanted to, same for the Grand Canyon. The elefants is the real thing and the location is amazing. Nobody rushed us, they explained everything on the way. I recommend them 100%

You should be here - As many people I had many concerns if to go on Elephant tour or not, and which program should I choose. I am extremly happy that I met Mr. Korn who brought us to the Elephants. This was more than suprising. If you want to visit Elephant foundation or sanctuary, at first write Puang here. This was one of the best moments in my life. Thank you!

Definitely recommend - Really fun experience, tour guide was extreamly helpful and funny. He explained as much as he could about elephants and local information. Spent an Amazing time with the elephants with local people, went for walk and then had a really fun water fight with them. They really care for the elephants and treat them very well. The Grand Canyon was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, would definitely recommend.

A wonderful enlightening experience not to be missed - I cannot recommend this enough. Excellent, knowledgeable and great fun guide, an incredibly humbling time with the elephants learning about their sad background of being rescued from circuses, being ridden by tourists who are unaware of the unethical practice and now in a safe and beautiful environment. It was incredibly special. Must mention the grand canyon jumping (which i failed to do as im a big baby) and kayaking. I loved this tour from beginning to end.

Family outing with the elephants - Korn picked our family of 6 up and dropped us off at our hotel. He stayed with us all day and explained to us all about the elephants and the history. He gave us cold water and bought us a very big lunch.The elephants we're so beautiful, well taken care and very loved. We loved seeing them in their natural environment and batting them. The Grand Canyon was ok. There are 3 parks next to each other, if you want to go to the fun one it will cost more. So the down side is we like to pay ahead and have everything included in the ticket price. The waterhole we went to we were only able to get 1 kayak for our party of 6. As most kayaks were damaged or floating around the platform in the middle for the tipsy Canyon party they had going on. If the ziplining was included it would have been better. A couple in our group decided to pay the extra price to zipline. Overall the day was great just would have been perfect if was the better grand Canyon with the floating obstacle course.

Ticket confusing - but great day with the Elephants! - As shown below in my images, I was under the impression I had booked a full day tour with a Grand Canyon jumping for this excursion, turns out, I had not. The details were in the fine print - Trip Advisor/Viator: you need to figure this one out - BIG TIME. So the excursion - turns out I was the only one to book on this day and the tour company did not cancel! I was picked up by my driver/guide in his personal vehicle and escorted to the sanctuary. He shared a lot about elephant treatment, misconceptions, and gave me some interesting things to think about. We stopped a couple of times (once for gas, one for air in tires/to the convenience store to buy waters for later in the day for me), and then a couple stops closer to the sanctuary for food for the elephants. Given that it was completely solo, I was a little nervous getting into this guy’s Personal vehicle - he picked me up at the hotel & came looking for me, but nothing was really official (if it were a bigger group, i’m Sure the bus & driver would have been there - small price to pay for having a private tour). The car was also pretty old & almost didn’t make it up the steep hill to the sanctuary. But alas - we got there! The elephants & crew were great! Went for a walk with them, got in the water with them, and got to feed them. The staff were great at ensuring we had a great time, got kisses from the elephants and they did some other fun things for food. Both my guide & staff were quick to take photos and ensure I got some great, fun shots! When it came time to leave, (this is where the confusion of half or whole day with Grand Canyon came up) - my driver offered to do the additional Grand Canyon portion, we could just call and pay the remaining amount (as I hadn’t paid for it) to the company. It was a rainy day, so not the end of the world, but the ticket from Viator was VERY misleading. Overall, great day, recommend elephants to anyone coming into Chiang Mai, you won’t regret it.
