En morgon med elefanterna i Phuket Elephant Sanctuary
Beskrivning
Phuket Elephant Sanctuary är den första etiska, 100% hands-off elefantreservatet i Phuket där elefanter strövar omkring, badar och umgås fritt över 30 hektar frodig, tropisk mark som gränsar till Khao Phra Thaeo National Park i nordöstra Phuket. Vi köper alla räddade elefanter för att säkerställa att Phuket Elephant Sanctuary är deras slutliga hem, och vi erbjuder professionell veterinärvård för gamla och skadade elefanter. Genom att besöka oss stödjer du ett hållbart, etiskt och medkännande förhållningssätt till elefantturism där elefanter har friheten att leva naturligt. National Geographic, Lonely Planet och The Guardian har alla stött vår etiska inställning.

Resplan
En morgon med elefanterna är en ögonöppnande och inspirerande upplevelse. Efter en naturskön bilresa längs en lokal by kommer du till Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, en pittoresk djungel prickad med dammar, vidöppna fält och sluttningar för elefanterna att ströva runt. Ditt besök börjar i vår Tree Top Lounge, där vi kommer att visa dig en presentation och pedagogisk video för att förbereda dig för ditt möte med elefanterna, och för att hjälpa dig att förstå varför de behöver skyddas. Vi följer dem sedan ner i djungeln. Genom att hålla ett säkert avstånd och titta på dem från våra observationssalas har elefanterna friheten att uttrycka sitt naturliga beteende, från bad och lek i vår damm till att umgås med varandra. Programmet avslutas med en utsökt thailändsk vegetarisk måltid.

This experience was well worth the money to see this beautiful creatures up close while knowing they are being treated ethically. We learned so much! Rudi was an excellent tour guide and the service from start to finish from all was warm and thoughtful.
Wow. What can I say, this tour is so worth the money. It was such a great experience and our tour guide Rudi was amazing. If you're lucky enough to get Rudi then you are all set. Would do this again for sure the way they care and are passionate about elephants is phenomenal. It's not a job for them it's a passion. Thank you so so much fir sharing them with us... our group also had a great bunch of people. Do yourself a favour and do this tour when you're in Thailand.
Absolutely beautiful. I am happy to support this ethical sanctuary so they can continue their good work.
True elephant sanctuary experience. Let’s start with pick up. The driver was on time and very courteous, he even stopped at 7/11 because my friend really wanted a redbull. The experience there was amazing, the Elephants are free roaming and all rescues, you can get close enough to enjoy it but far enough that they can still do their thing. It did say on the booking that we’d get to feed the elephants, that recently changed so that was the only issue I had. Overall 5/5
Very informative, though it was sad to hear the cruel treatment some of their resident elephants came from, but I'm so happy there is an ethical sanctuary helping these beautiful creatures. This is probably the only elephant sanctuary I would recommend to visit in all of Thailand. Side note, the food provided was amazing!
It was an absolutely amazing experience. The sanctuary is very well run and thought out, the vegetarian lunch was delicious and our guide Rudi was brilliant and very knowledgeable
The Phuket Elephant Sanctuary was an absolutely incredible experience. It was heartbreaking to learn how horribly so many elephants have been abused since the rise of tourism in Thailand. We saw it ourselves, first hand, in Bangkok. Here, at the sanctuary, they’re treated with such amazing compassion and respect. The people here really care a tremendous amount about the wellbeing of the elephants. And it was such a joyous experience to be among these happy thriving animals. Being just a few feet away and seeing the emotional intelligence in the eyes of these gentle giants Is something I will never forget. Everybody that comes to Phuket should come here and see how we can coexist on this earth. Do not give your money to business that exploit animals for photo opportunities, or interactive rides or performances. Do not reshare social media posts of people visiting those places. Those animals are kept in chains and cages, the birds and lizards are fed barely enough to keep them alive, the tigers are drugged so they won’t attack, elephants that give rides or perform tricks or make paintings aren’t having fun! They’re being forced through physical torture. All of the elephants here are rescued from abusive situations, and they have a magnificent new lease on life. Here they are happy and thriving, being allowed to just be elephants. Not slaves, not performers, not an amusement park attraction… just elephants. In the wild. Simply being allowed to be.
It was an incredible learning experience for us all. Awesome your guides very knowledgeable about the elephants.
Amazing elephant sanctuary. I research for a long time to find a truly ethical sanctuary and landed on this. We were very happy to find this place was entirely focus on elephant well-being which was pleasing and comforting to see. The elephant hospital they’ve built is a true testament to this. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit and recommend it to any tourists hoping to see elephants while also respecting and caring for these beautiful animals. Elephants should not be ridden or bathed with and this sanctuary made sure to uphold this and treated the elephants with the upmost care.
It has been a wonderful experience and it is so worth it to do the morning tour! The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable! The vegetarian buffet lunch was also very nice. All the proceeds are going back in to the sanctuary. The sanctuary is very respectful to the elephants and therefore does not allow feeding or touching the elephants in order to mimic their natural habitat. Would definitely recommend doing the 3.5 hour tour! Boots and socks are provided.
