Majestic and Ethical - Absolutely amazing to see these magnificent creatures up close. They were once held captive, abused, or used for entertainment. Now they are cared for like kings and queens.

Amazing Tour - We had a super short day at this port and wished it had been much longer because we loved this excursion! The elephants are so precious. The workers make sure you know as much as you want about each elephant and you can tell how much they truly care for the animals. What a wonder place this is for these animals to grow old in.

One of the highlights of our holiday. The staff are passionate about the elephants and their care. - Amazing morning spent with the rescued elephants. It’s a must visit if you are in this part of the world. We booked through trip advisor whilst on a cruise and it was the highlight of our holiday. Lovely people and elephants. Highly recommended to pay them a visit.

Good insight to the working of the sanctuary and care of the elephants was provided - Elephants are clearly loved and well looked after . It was good to be able to be close up to them without the elephants being overly touched just to please the visitors .

Doing a great job with the rescued elephants - Did the afternoon visit to the sanctuary in March. Really enjoyed the experience of getting up close with the elephants and learning about their life in the sanctuary and where they had come from. Getting to feed them by hand is an experience we won't forget although as you are told, the elephant will be your friend, as long as you have food. The staff do a great job of looking after both the elephants and the visitors and we're very helpful with any questions we had. All in all we had a great time and would recommend it if you are an animal lover

Exceptional - Do not hesitate a second, home, site, explanations, meals, everything was perfect. Swimming with two elephants is a memory you're not about to forget.

INCREDIBLE experience for elephant lovers! A MUST in Koh Samui!! - By far one of our favorite experiences in Koh Samui and a MUST if you love animals! The sanctuary staff were great and explained the story behind each of the elephants and their overall approach to rescuing and rehabilitating them. Even more than that, my husband and I got to experience SO many amazing interactions with the elephants, from creating snacks for them and feeding them, to interacting with them in the jungle and helping to cool them down with a little water. Such a beautiful experience and worth every second!!

Good value and not cruel - Fantastic half day tour. Made the feed for the elephants and fed them. Close up natural experience that is well organised and considerate for the animals. No riding just seeing them in their natural habitat. Meal included also decent.
