Phuket Ethical Elephant Care Sanctuary Nai Dee Halbtags oder 2 - Stunde

One of the best things I’ve done. Definitely recommend this company. Beautiful experience and even got photos of the whole day!

Amazing experience, amazing place. The experience includes making the elephant food balls, then feeding the ellies. During the break you learn to cook Thai salad with shredded veggies and green papaya and cook noodles. It tastes amazing!! Then the mud scrubbing of the elephants which they really enjoy. Doesn't stop there, you get to go into the pool with the elephants. The whole time carers will always monitor and keep you safe as long as you stick to the rules. Regular breaks included healthy snacks for tourists with fruits and drinks and the buffet lunch was also quite basic and very healthy. Tons of photos taken which will be sent to you (no extra charge). The showers and toilets are basic but cleaned regularly.They also have a locker , provided with a deposit which will be returned to you when you hand over the keys.Please remember to take your towels!

We had a great time at the elephant sanctuary. We made some food and fed the elephants following by giving them a wash and bath. I would recommend this sanctuary over others we saw as there is no use of chains and overall the elephants seemed happy and well looked after. Pretty Girl was especially beautiful 😍🐘

Lots of fun. Friendly staff. No extra charges. Good snacks & buffet meal. The staff took pictures & provided them for free. Transportation to & from on time.

we got to 'play' with elephants, what more is there to say? the staff was amazing, sharing knowledge and being entertaining. we prepared food, fed the elephants, covered them in mud and then washed them off. not only where they taking pictures they shared, they noticed i was a solo traveler and took my phone to take even more pictures.

This trip is advertised as ethical. It definitely was not ethical. There were way too many people (50/60 people per group) crowding the poor elephants, making them do tricks on demand for photos. One elephant was crying which was horrible to see. In the bathing experience they lay 3 elephants, one being an infant in the water and were letting people jump and dive all over them. This tour puts the people/money over the animals they say they're looking after. Needs to be much smaller groups and stricter with the people attending. Should be more focused on the elephants and teaching people about them and their habits.

The elephant feeding part of the tour was good, and the kids were excited to see they had one Capybara. However, several other aspects of the tour were so bad that the tour warrants 2-3 stars: 2-hour shuttle to arrive (direct by private car should have been 30 min); many smokers in the designated areas which were right next to the group staging area, so no avoiding it; the cooking/food portion of the event was one staff quickly throwing a couple dishes together (not us learning/cooking) and it was so poorly staged that you had to fight to be able to see through the large group-not at all practical for kids. Overall, the instructions and guidance from the staff throughout the visit was not well coordinated or clear, though they were quite friendly.

Doubtful case because they make it a commercial thing anyway 2 times a day the elephants entertaining people didn't feel like a free shelter where they could live freely The little elephant also raised its paw with people who wanted to take a picture with him Indeed the photos you get are free they take but didn’t find it a real sanctuary Also, a squirrel was held in a very small cubicle very pathetic

This was a great experience and very ethical. They take good care of the elephants and you get alot done in the day. Would definitely recommend.
