Phenomenal! - We booked this tour for part of our honeymoon and it certainly didn't disappoint! From start to finish it was a phenomenal experience. Being able to observe these majestic animals with a company that values and respects them was wonderful.
We fed them sugar canes and sticky rice balls, and bathed them using a tree bark that turns to shampoo. Every staff member was kind and professional, and ensured we were kept safe and comfortable during the entire trip.
A special thank you to Jibby and Adam for sharing their knowledge with us and taking the time to photograph us so we could enjoy every minute of our trip. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!
** Word of caution - Bring mosquito repellent, before you're eaten alive! 🦟 🦟

An unforgettable experience - Amazing experience ! We saw 4 elephants that looked healthy and happy. We were able to feed them with bamboo, take a walk with them in the mountains and prepare a snack for them. We also washed the elephants with natural soap. The staff was very kind and welcoming, they made sure that we participate in each activity. The guide gave us a lot of explanations. The meal after is just delicious and satisfying. The entire experience was respectful towards the elephants, which was very important to us so 100% recommended.

elephant made me smile - I felt like Adam took a major in Elephants because he was so knowledgeable about them! As someone who’s fascinated with this big cuties, Adam helped so much on how to approach the elephants and what should you know about them
Pick up went smoothly, I appreciate that Adam informed me on what’s the itinerary for the day. We have 1.5 hrs travel time with 1 stop. Its also nice that he reminded us about the bug spray which I forgot so I bought one during the stopover
When we arrived we settled in and Adam explained how to approach the elephants properly. We fed the elephants and walked with them along the river. We really just kept feeding them haha and they LOVE IT
Next part was making elephant food, its a rice ball! Adam explained the ingredients and its nice you get to interact with your van-mates. Last part was giving the elephants a shower, we made this all natural shampoo. We also had the chance to touch the elephants - their trunks are hella strong so be careful!
After that we had time to change and cleaning up before heading to lunch. It was my first time eating pad thai in Thailand so I am happy it was a good one!
Adam also took photos of us and they shared the photos via email. It was perfect!
The experience was nice! Its a must for everyone who’ll visit Chiang Mai!

Awesome - Amazing experience ! My expectations were high, but without a doubt, they were exceeded.
The elephants looked happy in an environment that protects them and doesn’t exploit them.
