Great experience feeding, patting and washing the elephants. It’s a must do.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re happy to hear that you had a great experience feeding, patting, and washing the elephants. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
Very hot and humid with lots of bugs. Wear lots of bug spray and sunscreen. The team was very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the safety and livelihood of the elephants in their car. Very enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing your helpful feedback. We’re glad to hear that the team was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the safety and wellbeing of the elephants. We appreciate your practical tips about bug spray and sunscreen, as they are useful for future guests visiting in hot and humid weather. We’re happy you still had a very enjoyable experience.
This was a wonderful small group tour and we got to feed the elephants, take lots of pictures, and talk with the guides at length about the elephants. The elephants only do what they want to do, so very respectful of the animals. And each elephant has it’s own personality and you really get to see that on this tour. Highly recommend it!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the small group tour, interacting with the elephants, and learning about their personalities. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again!
It was a unique experience. We wish the tour would have lasted longer. :-)
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you had a unique experience and appreciate your suggestion—we’ll certainly take it into consideration. Hope to welcome you again.
A very ethical sanctuary which I️ really appreciated. Our tour guide was very informative and answered any questions we had. We learned the history of the elephants they have at the facility and had the opportunity to to feed them and walk alongside one of their older elephants.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear you appreciated the ethical approach of the sanctuary and enjoyed the experience with the elephants. It’s great to know the guide was informative and made your visit meaningful. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future! 😊
Really nice experience. The guide was very informative and took time to answer any questions and took plenty of photographs for each individual. The elephants are well looked after and it's nice to see that they can roam freely - one at a time.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear you had a really nice experience and that the guide was informative and helpful throughout the visit. It’s also wonderful to know you appreciated how well the elephants are cared for and able to roam freely. We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you again. 😊
One hour of which a lot was standing around doing nothing. For the price one needed more. If the issue was simply a donation to keep 5 rescued elephants going it should have been said. No real interaction with the elephants except to feed them a few small bananas from well back behind a fence. Was very good when one was brought down to bathe Nothing wrong with the staff. No crowd
We were wary of any excursions involving elephants as we only wished to visit an Ethical Elephant Sanctuary, absolutely not wishing to contribute to anything that would cause stress or anxiety to these beautiful animals. If you choose to do an elephant excursion then highly recommend this guided tour with Khao Lak Elephant Sanctuary which is definitely an ethical sanctuary. We got up close to 5 gorgeous female elephants who all had a sad back story until coming to this caring sanctuary. Each has their own personal carer who are trained in how to support them, they are fed a very healthy and plentiful diet, are taken on regular walks and also have freedom. All 5 elephants were in great health and appeared very happy and content with their new lives gaining confidence and living without fear. We learnt about their diet snd well being and went on a short walk with one of the elephants as we had chosen only the short small group guided tour. Take care not to visit any so called sanctuary that involves bathing the elephants as this is just way too stressful for them and thankfully this is absolutely not permitted at this sanctuary. We enjoyed many opportunities for photos taken by ourselves but also by our lovely guide.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and responsible review. We completely understand your concern about choosing a truly ethical elephant experience, and we’re very pleased to hear that your visit to Khao Lak Elephant Sanctuary met your expectations. Supporting sanctuaries that prioritize the animals’ welfare, freedom, and long-term wellbeing is extremely important. It’s encouraging to know that the elephants are individually cared for, provided with a healthy diet, regular walks, and a stress-free environment. Your observation that they appeared calm, healthy, and more confident in their new lives speaks volumes about the sanctuary’s standards. We also appreciate you highlighting the importance of avoiding activities such as forced bathing, which can cause unnecessary stress to elephants. We’re glad you enjoyed the small group format, the educational aspect of the visit, and the photo opportunities arranged by your guide. Experiences like this should be respectful, informative, and focused on the animals’ wellbeing — and it’s wonderful to hear that this was exactly what you experienced. Thank you again for your detailed recommendation and for choosing to travel responsibly.
A wonderful experience. A proper sanctuary prioritising the residents welfare over income. No touching, hugging etc. The elephants are free to wander (and sometimes do when they smell the ripe fruit in nearby plantations). Only complaint is we’d have liked to stay longer.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind review. We truly appreciate that you recognised our priority — the elephants’ welfare always comes before income. That is the heart of everything we do. As you mentioned, there is no touching or forced interaction. Our elephants are free to move at their own pace, and sometimes they do follow their noses toward nearby plantations when they smell ripe fruit 😊 That freedom of choice is very important to us. We are especially happy to hear that your only complaint was wishing you could stay longer — that is one of the nicest compliments we can receive. Thank you for supporting ethical tourism, and we hope to welcome you back again for a longer visit next time.
Great couple of hours spent at the sanctuary. We were picked up from our hotel as agreed, put into small groups with a guide, we were able to feed the elephants snacks we had prepared and followed whilst elephant was led to the river. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, we felt the elephants were well cared for. Would recommend this trip if you are staying in the area
Thank you for your great review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your time at the sanctuary and appreciated the smooth pickup, small groups, and knowledgeable guide. It’s wonderful to know you felt the elephants were well cared for. Thank you for the recommendation and we hope to see you again! 🐘😊
