Halvdag besøger Elephant Sanctuary i Samui

What a great privilege to visit such a beautiful ethical elephant sanctuary. Stunning elephants living the life they truly deserve and looked after with genuine kindness and respect. Totally recommend visiting this sanctuary…and what’s more, the vegetarian lunch was also very tasty!

Visiting the elephant sanatorium on Ko Samui, you could experience the animals in a safe, species-appropriate environment. The elephants were cared for lovingly, had ample space and access to natural food. The respectful treatment without coercion or shows made the stay an educational and touching experience that puts the protection of these majestic animals first.

Unethical elephant sanctuary. Not a true and ethical rescue centre. They are physically rough with the elephants and have tourists bathe them which is unethical and scares them.

It was wonderful to see the elephants so well cared for in their natural environment and it was a nice experience to be able to get close to them and feed them and wash them. Although you need to be brave to be standing in those waters where the elephants do their business.

The staff were amazing and the elephants adorable. Food was delicious, very clean showers for when you got very muddy. Highly recommend this.

Excellent organisation from the Cruise Ship jetty, we were taken by mini bus on a 30 minute ride to the Elephant sanctuary. The Sanctuary staff were really lovey and a great commentary and presentation was made in excellent English to explain the operation. The elephants themselves are a joy to Pat, photograph and feed with adequate fruit provided by the Staff, they are obviously happy and very well looked after. Great fun afterwards in their bathing pool, scrubbing and washing them down. ( Ensure you take additional clothes to change back into.) A really good lunch was provided with a great range of local food dishes. Friendly Driver in a nice cool vehicle took us back to the Port after a really, super experience.

We wanted to visit a true sanctuary for elephants & what a great experience. The host, feed, bathing and providing mud baths to the elephants was awesome. My son's got a kick out of helping prepare lunch- unexpected. My son's 21yr & 14 had a blast. Black Americans in Thailand, best trip!

Great time for my wife’s 30th birthday morning, we did the half day and it was a special experience for us both. Lots of photos and the guide was great. Food was good too Remember to bring swimming kit to wash the elephants it’s brilliant

We had arranged a private transfer due to our son having autism, however we were herded into a minibus with 2 other families, luckily he coped really well, but after paying, what I deemed extra for this, I wasn’t really happy. The staff were really accommodating of our family. There was a lot of talking by the staff which could have focused more on the preservation of elephants I felt. Wasn’t sure about how ethical it was as they didn’t really focus on that. We were told 1 elephant was saved from a circus. Wanted more of that info. I ate food and have been sick since. Great opportunities for photos with elephants.

Awesome experiences while saving the elephants and supporting this wonderful sanctuary The staff are fabulous and the tour was perfectly arranged and implemented Kudos to the people who. Hose to support this sanctuary while enjoying a memorable experience. .
