Fun trip - Adam and Danny really made the trip! They were really fun while washing the elephants and great at giving facts and information about the elephants. The rafting was also really good, and the food after.

The best. Adam and his team gave us an amazing day - We had the best day since we’ve been in Thailand. Adam was very nice, and all the staff as well. Animals are taken care of very well and you can tell they care about the elephants and it is not about money. They transferred all the passion and love they put into this activity. We feed the elephants, walked in the jungle with them, make traditional soap washed them, went rafting. We felt they took care of us, we felt safe. they even packed some to go topical food after we did not finish it all. We did rafting, it was my first time. Very funny! Highly recommend not to miss out on this! Thank you Adam.

Great experience - We had a great time on the elephant visit and white water rafting tour. The guides picked us up promptly from our hotel and we had a packed schedule of elephant feeding, making their food, bathing them, and then going white water rafting. We ended up having a spot on the raft where it got stuck on a rock but our guide was able to get us unwedged and we were able to finish the ride. Then we had a nice lunch of pad thai and some fruits. Overall this trip was worth the journey and price, and I'd recommend this to anyone looking to visit an elephant sanctuary and do some adventuring on the side.
