An amazing afternoon - It was amazing to be able to see the elephants so close up in their natural habitat, they're so beautiful and gentle! Our guide was so friendly and informative about the elephants and the rainforest. The food and refreshments were also excellent and gave us a real taste of the local cuisine. A must do if you're visiting Phuket!

Amazing experience! - Absolutely amazing experience. Friendly staff and guides throughout the day. Very informative and moving. Lovely food and refreshments. And of course seeing these majestic elephants was the highlight of the day. Well looked after and enjoying there retired life after being rescued. Would recommend this trip to anyone. Please see them in there natural environment rather than an entertainment setting. The more people that support the more they can rescue and care for!!!

Beautiful, Ethical Rescue Elephant Sanctuary - This ETHICAL Sanctuary is an amazing place to be with rescued elephants in their natural habitat. They care for and mend abused show elephants. Never go to a Sanctuary where you ride, see performances or bath the elephants. They are torturing those animals for money. This place is doing an amazing job to stop this. Please go and see the beautiful environment and 30+Acres they have.

Stunning, ethical, amazing - We had an amazing time at Phuket Elefant Sanctuary! Elefants here were rescued from abuse and can life their life freely. Interaction between elefants and humans is not forced, which is perfect! You will get close to them if they want to come to you and at the end by feeding them. I highly recommend the tour with lunch/dinner because the buffet is just excellent!! I think I had one of the best days in my life, thank you so much!

An afternoon with the elephants - On our recent trip to Phuket my wife wanted to visit an elephant sanctuary. After researching what was on offer she decided on the Phuket elephant sanctuary. She wanted to visit the elephants in a non tourist type setting. We went for her birthday in the afternoon. The visit started with an educational video about the history of the sanctuary and its owner followed by the opportunity in small groups to walk around the sanctuary with a guide and meeting the various elephants which have been saved and now have the opportunity to see out their lives in peaceful surroundings. The tour was really informative and a truly great experience. At the end of the day we had the opportunity to feed a couple of elephants and we were then treated to a wonderful vegan buffet. There’s also a small shop to purchase souvenirs. Again all the staff were amazing, friendly, informative and really good with the animals. This was a great way to see the elephants up close in a natural environment without the suffering. Highly recommended.

Beautiful elephants treated with respect and care - What an amazing and important place. Beautiful elephants living the best life they can in amazing surroundings. Very friendly and informative staff, treating the elephants with respect and care. Go here rather than the camps. Elephants aren’t supposed to do tricks! Really good food and drinks offered as part of the tour. Highly recommended!

Good to witness great work being done for the elephants. - An excellent afternoon although there was a lot of hanging around at the start with nobody really knowing what was going on. Good introduction to the history and purpose of the sanctuary and clearly great work is being done there. We didn’t expect to get as close to the elephants as we did so that was a thrill. Feeding 2 of them was a fantastic experience aswell. Food at the end was good.
