A full day meditation. - I didn’t think I would love this experience, kinda only did it to ✅ the box. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it to be both totally thrilling and peaceful. Don’t forget your bathing suit so you can get in the pool to bathe them. The staff were really nice and appear to truly care. Highly recommend.

Excellent trip - What a fantastic experience from start to finish. You all start the day with a cold drink and snacks then you make food for the elephants once this is done you then get a chance to feed them they also provide more food. Then you walk into the forest to watch them roam freely and eat again lol elephants like to eat a lot. Then it’s back for lunch which is good followed by bathing the elephants. If I ever went back to koh Samui I would book this trip again so worth the money and to top it all you get a video of your day for free. I can’t recommend this trip enough. The elephants are so well looked after and the keepers are so informative and you can see that they love what they do.

Fantastic experience, and very well organised. - Wow, what an experience! This is the only way to get up close and personal with elephants in Thailand as far as I am concerned. It is incredibly well organised and planned with a wonderful team of guides, handlers and assistants, they all did a fantastic job. You get to learn about the rescue elephants, make food for them, feed them, go walking in the jungle and then cool them down with a mud bath and wash them. All followed by a delicious lunch. I wish the sanctuary well with all their much needed rescue work and going there really supports it.

Wonderful - Amazing trip, from pick up to drop off very well organised. The staff were all lovely and you can see how much they care for the elephants. One of the best experiences of my life. Timely pick up, greeted at the centre with a cold drink and cookies, watched a safety video and were given a talk about the centre and elephants. Got to make some food then the elephants were let down to us to feed. Once fed we walked to the Forest for some time either elephants then back to watch one have a mud bath. A tasty lunch then fun in the pool with a couple of elephants all of which have such individual personalities. Will definitely be back, well done for all your hard work taking care of these very special animals. A few days earlier we had been to the waterfalls, there there are some elephants the stand all day in small enclosures waiting to give rides, they are that bored they sway side to side, please don’t give your money to that kind of experience, instead go to one of the ethical sanctuary’s that are saving those poor elephants, you will also have a far better up close experience.At the end of the trip they email you a copy of a video made during your trip.
