Phuket: Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve guidad tur med lunch
Beskrivning
Välkommen till Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve. Vår hisnande elefantreservat ligger inbäddat i kullarna i södra Phuket och är hem för fyra vackra elefanter som alla är räddade från turistnäringen. De kan nu ströva fritt, umgås med varandra och leka naturligt i dammar, bäckar och leriga vallar i hela vårt land. Efter en introduktionsvideo kommer du att möta och mata våra elefanter innan du går på en naturskön promenad genom skogen, och stannar till vid våra Bamboo Observation Huts utspridda längs vägen där du kan sitta tyst medan våra elefanter går under sin dag. Vi följer inte en fastställd rutt, våra elefanter är fria att ströva omkring och söka föda, och om våra elefanter stannar slutar vi! De har haft svåra liv och de förtjänar det allra bästa livet vi kan ge dem. När vi når dammen kan du se elefanterna leka, plaska och täcka sig i lera medan du njuter av en utsökt vegetarisk måltid nylagad och av lokala råvaror.

Resplan
Vid ankomsten njut av gratis förfriskningar innan vi tittar på en informativ introduktionsvideo. Vi träffar sedan och matar våra elefanter innan vi går på en naturskön promenad genom skogen och observerar och lär oss om deras historia, deras berättelser och deras unika personligheter. Vi följer inte en fastställd rutt, våra elefanter är fria att ströva omkring och söka föda, och om våra elefanter stannar slutar vi! Koppla av i våra Bamboo Observation Huts när elefanten betar, lek i leran eller bada i närheten med fantastisk utsikt över skogen och utsikt över dalen till Big Buddha. Så många fantastiska foto- och videomöjligheter! Du kommer att avsluta ditt besök med en utsökt vegetarisk thaibuffé på våra fantastiska bambusalor med utsikt över dammen när elefanten badar och betar i närheten. Ditt besök stödjer direkt vårt arbete med att rädda och rehabilitera elefanter. Vårt huvudfokus är att utbilda och skapa medvetenhet om den asiatiska elefantens svåra situation och föregå med gott exempel med vårt etiska förhållningssätt till att uppleva elefanter.

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.

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
