Elephant Sanctuary Small Group Tour i Phuket
Beskrivning
Följ med på ett meningsfullt halvdagsäventyr på Phukets etiska elefantreservat. Efter upphämtning på hotellet välkomnas du av våra guider och introduceras till de räddade elefanterna som nu lever fritt i sitt skogshem. Promenera längs naturliga stigar för att observera dem födosöka, leka och umgås, medan du lär dig om deras berättelser och vård. Upptäck sedan hur örtmat och snacks tillagas för att stödja elefanternas hälsa, och njut sedan av den oförglömliga upplevelsen att mata dem för hand – ingen ridning, inga shower, bara äkta interaktion. Den lilla gruppinställningen garanterar en avslappnad atmosfär och många möjligheter att ställa frågor och ta bilder. Ditt besök avslutas med lättare förfriskningar och en lunchlåda innan du tar farväl av elefanterna. Med transfer inkluderat är detta 4 timmars program ett perfekt sätt att kombinera utbildning, bevarande och oförglömliga minnen, samtidigt som det direkt stödjer elefantvälfärden i Phuket.

Due to my wife getting food poisoning before we went on the trip we only managed an hour. Very disappointed to miss out on the full experience.But the hour we were there was amazing. Will definitely go on the trip again as coming back to phucket in November 2026. Highly recommend as elephants treated really well.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that your wife was unwell and that you could only join for a short time. We’re glad the hour you spent with us was still amazing and that you appreciated how well the elephants are cared for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be happy to welcome you again when you return to Phuket in November 2026.
Amazing. tour guide was extremely friendly and funny. only had 4 other people in our group, which meant we could have such an interactive close up tour. we met 4 different elephants, which all look well cared for. my friend and i booked the longer tour and im so happy we did, we got to walk around with the elephant. such a fun experience
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that your guide made the tour friendly, fun, and interactive. It’s great to know you enjoyed the small-group experience and meeting the elephants up close. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience.
Truly wonderful experience in a truly ethical environment. Elephants are very happy with individual carers that form life long bonds. Rescued from shows or riding and a variety of ages. Ability to interact with elephants by preparing food for them, feeding them and using hose to cool them off. Great transport from hotel and great meal afterwards. Absolutely first class
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted you had a first-class experience with the elephants in an ethical environment, and enjoyed the interaction, transport, and meal. We truly appreciate your kind recommendation!
This was the best tour we have done in Phuket, our tour guide was amazing and very friendly she taught us alot about the elephants how to interact with them. Making the elephant food was great fun as well and the elephants were very happy interacting and playing with us. Highly recommended, specially in the morning!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear this was your best tour in Phuket and that you enjoyed learning about and interacting with the elephants. It’s great that the experience was fun and memorable for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
This tour was amazing! We were able to get up close and feed the elephants. Our guide May was fantastic. Several in our group did the first hour and left. This is a great option if you are short on time. We opted for the trek and lunch. It was my husband, me the guide and our own personal elephant. We walked and learned more about the elephants and were able to spend quality time. Then we were put on motor bikes which was not counted on but very fun and taken to a little local place for a very delicious lunch. Do the combo but book early in the morning. It gets hot!
Thank you for your detailed review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the elephant experience and the trek with your guide May. It’s great to hear you had quality time with your personal elephant, enjoyed the motorbike ride, and loved the local lunch. Your tip about booking early is very helpful for future guests.
An amazing morning learning all about the sanctuary and the fantastic work they do protecting and caring for the elephants. The Guide was insightful and went out of his way to talk through the work they do and how they care for the animals. It was great to be able to prepare their food and experience them close up. Absolutely worth the visit as it was a very special experience.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a special experience at the sanctuary. It’s great to know that the guide was informative and that you enjoyed learning about the important work of protecting and caring for the elephants, as well as preparing their food and seeing them up close. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again on another memorable experience. 😊
The sanctuary place is not the one we thought about, it’s quite new, just 11 months, made for tourists around patong area. Though elephants are lovely to see. They are used to tourists around.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern regarding the sanctuary not being the one you expected. Clear and accurate representation of locations is very important, and we appreciate you highlighting that it is relatively new and primarily serving visitors in the Patong area. At the same time, we’re glad you found the elephants lovely to see. Your comments are valuable, and we will review how we present this experience to ensure expectations are properly aligned in the future. Thank you for your honest input.
We throughly enjoyed this experience. Great way to see elephants in their habitat. Chichi was an excellent tour guide and as expected very knowledgable about the elephants. He was also very accommodating to our friend who could not climb up the hill. Highly recommend this if you prefer to go where the elephant comes first.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the experience and appreciated seeing the elephants in a more natural setting. It’s especially wonderful to know that Chichi’s knowledge and guidance enhanced your visit, and that he was attentive and accommodating to your friend’s needs. We truly value your recommendation, particularly your recognition of experiences where animal welfare comes first. Thank you for your support, and we hope to welcome you again on a future adventure.
Visited the sanctuary with my wife and thoroughly enjoyed the experience with the two adult female and 9 yr male elephants. We were able to feed them and get up very close. Organisation was very good but one word of caution. If you have health issues or trouble walking be aware there is a VERY steep hill to climb to access the elephants.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We’re so pleased to hear that you and your wife thoroughly enjoyed your visit and your time with the two adult female elephants and the 9-year-old male. Being able to feed them and observe them up close is always a special moment, and we’re glad you appreciated the experience. Thank you as well for mentioning the steep hill. You are absolutely right — access to the elephants does involve a fairly steep walk, and we always recommend that guests with mobility or health concerns let us know in advance so we can provide appropriate guidance and support. We truly appreciate your helpful feedback and hope to welcome you both again in the future!
Have about 5 elephants (age 9-27) in the sanctuary- early morning tour was like a private tour with a guide as I was the only one in the tour. Entailed walking on steep badly defined trails to meet the elephants, and despite being reasonably fit was a challenge. Since it was like a tour for one person the activities were over quickly and it led to very long wait times to be sent back to the hotel (or at your own expense by taxi). Moreover, a larger group had motorized transport right up to where the elephants were to be met avoiding the walking on the trails. Do not recommend unless the above problems are sorted out
