Walk and Feed at Bukit Elephant Park Phuket
Description
Your journey will include a new and animal-friendly experience with the elephants through living with them in a peaceful sanctuary. Safety and sanitization are our first priorities; thus, elephant riding and bathing activities are not offered here. We work with professional mahouts to take care of elephants and refrain from any forms of cruelty. Since you are in Thailand, we would like you to learn a little bit of Thai culture. The journey will take you to get an authentic experience of traditional Thai culture through activities like rubber tapping, making coconut milk, and Thai food cooking sessions. This unique and astonishing journey is only available here at Bukit Elephant Park.

This was a lovely experience. A very peaceful and tranquil setting. The guide was very informed and willing to answer all the questions.
What a fantastic experience we had, feeding the elephants , watching them bathe, making rice balls for them and watching them be happy in their environment. The staff were so friendly and inviting and our tour guide Siri was full of knowledge and passion. The tour is suitable for all ages and lots of place to shade away from the sun and refreshments and cold towels to help you keep cool . Pick up to and from the sanctuary was punctual. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
We really enjoyed our visit to Bukit Elephant Sanctuary. Our tour guide Siri was amazing and had so much knowledge and passion for what she does and was always happy to answer any questions from the group and give us plenty of time at the different locations. It’s a great opportunity to see elephants in their natural habitats along with feeding them, observing and watching them bathe. I would definitely recommend the sanctuary to anyone looking to visit an ethical sanctuary in while in Phuket.
The experience was 10/10. Our guide Siri was also excellent🌟Ps. Princess can run to Norway whenever she wants to 🐘
Free umbrellas offered for shade, absolute godsend in the very hot weather today, excellent commentary and first class insight into every elephant given by JJ especially Grandma and Princess, feeding was a different experience as we got to make our own fruit sticky rice to hand feed the elephants, whilst never touching, riding or getting within 1.5m of the magnificent creatures. The transfer picked up and dropped off back at the hotel too
On our temple and food tour with Sofia we made a stop. We got to feed and lead about the elephants. It was a short stop but well worth it! Admission was included with our other tour.
It was wonderful seeing all the elephants and getting to know their backgrounds JJ was really helpful and was a great guide we did the walk and feed tour and it was so worth it. The staff was amazing made sure we were refreshed and gave us cold towels once we came back so we could cool off.
Great tour, the park look after the elephants in a very ethical way. Sara our host gave us a great tour, and at the end gave a great demo on how rubber is extracted to make rubber.
What an amazing experience. We were so impressed with the respect and care for the elephants. The stories of how each elephant had been rescued and how fearful they were of being made to carry people on joy rides and suffer constant touching and petting. Siri was a wonderful guide and told the elephant stories with true passion and heartfelt kindness. Thank you for providing such a safe haven for these beautiful creatures and good luck with the forced move to a new location. We will definitely visit again next year.
Our family group of six adults and four children really enjoyed our time at Bukit Elephant Sanctuary. Our guide, Siri was excellent both informative and humorous. Her stories about each elephant and their experiences prior to being rescued were quite captivating. My initial thought was that the ticket price was quite expensive but when it was explained that the funds go towards rescuing elephants from their cruel experiences elsewhere our visit was truly excellent vale for money. This experience is highly recommended for family groups wishing to see and learn about these wonderful majestic animals in a safe, friendly and professional environment.
