Good experience - Amazing tour with Edison and Danny. Taking good care of the elephants!! Seems ethical. Rafting is fun but a bit short! Not too wild

Experience - Danny and Mimi were wonderful guides, there are 4 female elephants that are happy and you can clean and feed them. The rafting is really fun, not dangerous but you will get wet! I really recommend!

Unforgettable moment - the different moments shared with the elephants were amazing. It feels really good in this place. Poppy and Danny are excellent guides, kind and caring. Rafting was tumultuous but we still felt safe.
