Great experience, very wholesome and ethical - Really lovely day and very kind people. They really care about the elephants and it’s all very authentic and interesting. Highly recommend

Caring for elephants - Our driver was excellent, very friendly. Our tour guide at the sanctuary was also excellent. You could really tell he cares about the elephants. One thing I would like to point out, which was not a problem for my group is that there us a but of a hike to get to the sanctuary. There are some steep inclines and declines that need to be navigated.

Amazing first experience with elephants - It was an amazing experience! We gave bananas to the elephants and played with them. Then we walked 5 minutes to a nice waterfall in which we could swim. We also walked through the rice fields to go back to the starting point where the elephants took a nice bath. The guide was so nice and funny! Finally we had a delicious lunch with the whole group, we really had a blast. Highly recommend this tour!

Still no ethically sold… - I was very surprised when I saw chains around the necks of the adult elephants, was a great experience but walked away confused.

Irresponsible Tour Company - I would have given this tour company zero stars if not for the guide, Cha who went out if his way to make sure I was safe. First of all, I signed up for morning tour but no one showed up. I had to Google the number to reach them but was informed they moved me to afternoon because no one else signed up. Another person told me, Ken missed my booking. At the sanctuary, the tour surprisingly included a difficult uphill trek in the jungle to a waterfall which I did not sign up for due to a heart condition. Thankfully, the guide stayed with me to make sure I was ok and offered me his water. The trail was so steep and slippery, I fell once. The elephant experience was wonderful and the caregivers were very kind. I’m disappointed this tour could have turned so much better.
