Amazing Experience - An amazing experience. The Elephants are not forced to entertain people but just be in nature. Great guide, transport and Softdrinks included. A wonderful experience for the whole family.

Amazing Time! - Amazing time me and my friend had! Learned so much about the elephants and was able to see their different personalities. You could tell the elephant handlers carried so much about these gentle giants that they rescued. We fed, watch the elephants play, and roam around in a great space. Highly recommended!

Real ethical sanctuary - We did the small tour of 90/120 minutes. This was enough to learn a lot about the elephants. Feed them and we could even touch two who were okay with people touching them. It was nice to see the elephants respected and good to know that our money was going towards actually rescuing elephants instead of people who abuse these creatures and hurt them.
I highly recommend them if you respect animals.

The most humbling beautiful experience no washing riding or bathing just observing getting close and feeding - Today we visited this elephant sanctuary, here they rescue elephants from logging, the circus, and from elephant parks where people wash, bathe and ride them. They have so far rescued 7 elephants which all have had some kind of trauma. It was so nice to be able to see them feed them and just observe them in Sanctuary where they are now living a peaceful life. We got to feed them bananas, learn about there work at the sanctuary and the elephants history. The work these people do to care for them is outstanding. Our tour guide was also lovely and you could tell she loved working there. We could only get close to a couple of them and observe the rest which was just so humbling and in my opinion what it should be. We even got to make rice balls for them which was fun and the elephants loved them ( make sure you select this option when booking the tour) The most beautiful caring gentle giants which have not deserved the life they have had previously. I Feel so privileged to be able to experience this and the staff are super heroes ! If you go to Phuket in low season please visit them it’s all for a good cause and we got to have such a personal experience with them without all the hustle and bustle. The best tour we have done.
