En morgen med elefanterne i Phuket Elephant Sanctuary
Beskrivelse
Phuket Elephant Sanctuary er det første etiske, 100% hånd-off elefant sanctuary i Phuket, hvor elefanter vandrer rundt, bade og socialisere frit på tværs af 30 acres frodig, tropisk jord grænser Khao Phra Thaeo National Park i nordøst Phuket. Vi køber alle reddede elefanter for at sikre, at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary er deres sidste hjem, og vi tilbyder professionel veterinærpleje til gamle og sårede elefanter. Ved at besøge os støtter du en bæredygtig, etisk og medfølende tilgang til elefantturisme, hvor elefanter har frihed til at leve naturligt. National Geographic, Lonely Planet og The Guardian har alle støttet vores etiske tilgang.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
En morgen med elefanter er en øjenåbner og inspirerende oplevelse. Efter en naturskøn køretur langs en lokal landsby kommer du til Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, en malerisk jungle prydet med damme, brede åbne marker og bakker for elefanterne at vandre rundt. Dit besøg begynder i vores Tree Top Lounge, hvor vi vil vise dig en præsentation og uddannelsesvideo for at forberede dig på dit møde med elefanter, og for at hjælpe dig med at forstå, hvorfor de skal beskyttes. Vi følger dem ned i junglen. Ved at holde en sikker afstand og observere dem fra vores Observation Salas, har elefanterne frihed til at udtrykke deres naturlige adfærd, fra badning og leg i vores dam til socialisering med hinanden. Programmet afsluttes med en lækker thailandsk vegetarisk måltid.

Lovely half day trip. I found it educational and uplifting to see these elephants living out the rest of their lives Roaming freely and being looked after. There was way more food provided for us than we thought.
This was a most beautiful experience being with these beautiful animals. The sanctuary is ethically caring and they look after all the retired elephants that have been used for tourist traps and work. The staff knew all of the elephants by name and history and you could tell they were there for the right reasons. Well organised with breakfast and lunch provided
This was an experience that we will remember for many years. We were collected from our resort and taken to the sanctuary in Paklok, North East Phuket. A sumptuous breakfast was on offer, but it did'nt attract us as we had eaten at our hotel. Following an informative video which detailed why these Asian elephants need protection, we were taken on a guided walking tour of the sanctuary's tropical bushland, enabling our small group to have an up close experience with these beautiful animals. There is no riding, bathing or feeding of the elephants, making it a purely observational experience, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our tour guide was able to provide details about each elephant. Watching the elephants from the overhead canopy walkway was a bonus. Our last stop was the sanctuary's elephant hospital, Phuket's first. There we saw a suspended elephant, being treated for a broken leg, and another being given antibiotics for septicaemia. The sanctuary purchases elephants which are sick, injured or have been abused or overworked. They will never return to their previous lives. At the conclusion of the tour we were returned to our resort. We will definitely return to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary on our next Phuket holiday.
Overall, I don’t feel the experience was worth the price. You see maybe 10 elephants, but for each one, you essentially stand there for 15–25 minutes watching it stand around. There was also very little information provided beyond basic facts, such as the elephant’s age. After that, you continue walking, have lunch, and then wait for the shuttle back. The entire experience felt very slow, underwhelming, and honestly not very exciting. For the price you pay, I expected a much more engaging and informative experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t consider it worth the money.
Amazing experience this morning being shown round the sanctuary by our guide Ice Cream 🥰 she was very knowledgeable and looked after us all. Hearing about all the elephants stories and where they came from was very humbling. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting to see elephants in a ethical way
Amazing and an absolute once in a lifetime experience.
Phuket Elephant Sanctuary was wonderful from beginning to end! 🐘💚 We were picked up and transported from our hotel to the sanctuary, and everything was very welcoming and well organized. Snacks and water were available when we arrived, which was a nice touch. Our tour guide, Ice Cream, was fantastic! She was friendly, bubbly, and very knowledgeable about the elephants and their stories. It was such a wonderful experience seeing these beautiful elephants and learning about the sanctuary and the opportunity it provides them. Lunch was wonderful, and they even have a cute little gift shop to visit before leaving. Overall, this was a truly memorable experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Phuket! 🐘🌿🇹🇭
Fantastic place and experience. Would certainly recommend for all. A must do if in the area.
I loved the experience and shout out to KT for being so kind and he is a lovely person
This was our second time to visit the Elephant Sanctuary, the last time was 2022 and there have been some additions since then with the nice new checkin area and the new Elephant Hospital. Its great to see the money from the tours being reinvested into the santuary. We had a nice tour with our Guide KT who showed use around the elephants roaming around taking their baths. Our pickup from the hotel was nice and smooth and overall we had a great day,
