Phuket: visita guiada à reserva de elefantes da floresta oculta com almoço
Descrição
Bem-vindo à Reserva de Elefantes da Floresta Oculta. Nosso deslumbrante santuário de elefantes está situado nas colinas do sul de Phuket e é o lar de quatro lindos elefantes que foram resgatados da indústria do turismo. Eles agora são capazes de vagar livremente, socializar uns com os outros e brincar naturalmente nas lagoas, riachos e lamaçais por toda a nossa terra. Após um vídeo de introdução, você conhecerá e alimentará nossos elefantes antes de fazer uma caminhada panorâmica pela floresta, parando em nossas cabanas de observação de bambu espalhadas ao longo do caminho, onde você poderá sentar-se tranquilamente enquanto nossos elefantes passam o dia. Não seguimos uma rota definida, os nossos elefantes são livres para vaguear e procurar alimentos, e se os nossos elefantes pararem, nós paramos! Eles tiveram vidas difíceis e merecem a melhor vida que podemos dar-lhes. Quando chegarmos ao lago, observe os elefantes brincando, espirrando água e se cobrindo de lama enquanto saboreia uma deliciosa refeição vegetariana preparada na hora e com ingredientes locais.

We did a lot of research for a genuine ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket. This seems to be the only one. No bathing, no touching, elephants roam free and aren’t at the whims of tourists - they are put first. They also cap numbers and we had a very small group to observe the elephants. You can still get very close to observe. Some of the stories of the elephants life before were so sad; the obvious scars from previous mistreatment for one, to the elephant that came to them with broken spine from over-riding. This reserve is doing good things, and is run by very kind and caring people. Go here if you want to see an actual ethical sanctuary at work. Give this sanctuary your money.
Thank you for your thoughtful review and recommendation. We’re grateful to hear that you appreciated our commitment to ethical elephant care and providing a respectful environment where elephants can live naturally. Your support means a lot to our team, and we’re pleased that you had a meaningful experience learning about these incredible animals. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Magical experience with the ladies. Very informative guides and interesting antidotes. Enjoyed the lunch and the mahouts interacting with their elephants. Would highly recommend this tour in beautiful rainforest surrounds.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear you had a magical experience and enjoyed learning from our guides. It's great to know that the interactions between the mahouts and elephants, the lunch, and the beautiful rainforest setting made your visit memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.
What a wonderful experience. We got up close to the elephants, fed them, and watched them play. All while letting them be in their natural environment. The handlers were so gentle, never speaking to the elephants, only taking their cues from them. It was beautiful to watch. Everyone should experience elephants this way instead of the awful tourist way of bathing with or riding them, both of which are harmful to the elephants.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you had a wonderful experience seeing the elephants in a natural, respectful environment and that you appreciated the gentle approach of the handlers. We’re pleased it was a meaningful and memorable visit for you.
The morning tour was very informative and we got to feed th elephants and observe them. I valued th hands off ethical approach this organisation took with their tours. You could clearly see each elephant was loved and cared for to a high level. Learning about th personalities of each individual elephant made it much more special. Highly recommend.

Wow wow wow! Definitely a tour you need to tick off your bucket list. We had an amazing experience & learnt so much about these incredible elephants. The world needs to hear so much more about this sanctuary. Each part of the tour was informative & the lunch made by the family members was amazing. Definitely do this one. Wear runners & pack your mosquitoes spray!!
Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled you had such an amazing and informative experience with the elephants and enjoyed the family-prepared lunch. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We appreciate the tip for future guests and hope to welcome you again soon.
The tour of the Hidden Forest Elephant Sanctuary was a wonderful experience. We walked with the elephants and loved seeing them happy and enjoying being elephants. We learnt about their lives prior to being rescued and watched them exhibiting natural behaviour that they had never been allowed during their many years of captivity. All the people working at the sanctuary are totally dedicated to their care and wellbeing . A highlight of the visit was watching the elephants play in the waterholes while we enjoyed a vegetarian Thai lunch prepared by the wives of the Mahouts. I am so happy that we went there and would recommend this excursion to everyone. Kate Smith
