Great day out with the elephants - This was a fabulous afternoon seeing the elephants as they should be seen in a natural environment. Our tour guide Rita was great. Got to feed the elephants as well which was just amazing. If you want to see the elephants please choose an ethical experience and lets try and stop the awful use of them for tourists entertainment and end their suffering.

Unique!!! Family with 2 children 14 and 12 years - An extraordinary experience, a sanctuary that respects elephants, that tells us the story of each of them. Super attentive guides, smiling, very friendly. We had a document in French to help us understand the story of each elephant. A peaceful place. We were treated to an all-you-can-eat buffet, a full tour, the icing on the cake feeding the elephants. We had boots and socks to lend to walk around this site. In case of rain, they lend umbrellas. I recommend!!!!

Don't sleep on this one - This is what elephant tourism should be! Ethical, safe and respectful of the elephants. The staff are courteous and friendly. Our guide Icezy was amazing, she is not only beautiful but we'll informed and knowledgeable of the elephants and their history. This place is a must for anyone visiting Phuket that loves animals and is against animal tourism and cruelty. Don't sleep on this experience.

Absolutely amazing - Trip starts with gunboats being dished out and a snack bar as you wait for all the groups. A short educational video and then split into small tour groups with a guide. I was in a group of 8, very intimate. The tour guide (Dennis) knew lots about all the elephants and you get to stand extremely close to them. End with a feeding experience money can't buy, handing pieces of fruit into the trunk of one of the many rescued group. The buffet at the end was a good variety. Best experience in Phuket.
