  It was very well done and informative from start to finish. These are elephants that have been rescued from harsh lives and conditions. The people that work there truly care about them and want to give them a better life.

  Such an amazing experience. It was incredible to see the elephants in their natural habitat. So fun to go with kids and feeding them. The caretakers truly care about the elephants. They are kind knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved everything!

  I would give this tour 10 stars! This was by FAR THE BEST tour thus far and it’s only day two of my trip! The communications from booking to pick up from the pier all the way to the elephant sanctuary was phenomenal! I was looking for an elephant sanctuary tour that picked us up from the pier, where didn’t take up all day yet we spent quality time with the elephants. And THIS WAS IT! Once I booked the tour, I received a message on WhatsApp within minutes stating directions and communications if needed. Which was amazing! The agent even sent PHOTOS detailing a map, directing where to meet up on the pier, Which I absolutely loved! Once we docked, we walked down to the pier, someone was holding a sign with our family name and directed us to a VERY NICE comfortable van, with other families as well. It was about a 30 minute ride to the elephant sanctuary. Once Exiting the van, the tour sat us at tables where we each family had their own area to make the elephant food and the presenter spoke about the history of the sanctuary. then we were guided over to the feeding area where the elephants were waiting for us to feed them. It was a spectacular experience. Then we were handed hats, a tote bag with water and off into the “jungle” we go - large piece of land to view the elephants in their natural habitat. It was a Short 5-10 minute walk and We were able to take pictures with the elephants from afar! We then walked back to the main site where we were served a delicious lunch. Fried rice, spring rolls, mini cheese sandwiches, and watermelons. It was the BEST fried rice I’ve had thus far! After lunch, there was one last elephant encounter where they brought the elephants to the small pool area and we were able to view the elephant playing in the water. We then boarded the van and headed back to the ships pier. We even had enough time to walk around the markets near the port and headed back to the ships pier! I would recommend this tour! 10/10

  Amazing experience getting to know the elephants at the sanctuary. The staff did an awesome job educating us about the elephants, especially on how and who we could interact with. Opportunity of a lifetime! Our tour included pickup and drop off from our hotel in Chaweng, making a snack and feeding it to the elephants, going on a walkabout with the elephants through the jungle, lunch which consisted of fresh guava juice, iced coffee, fried rice, fried spring rolls, finger sandwiches, fresh watermelon, and plenty of water. And watching the elephants take a bath. The staff was so warm and welcoming. They definitely take pride in providing a safe and happy home for the elephants. Would recommend this experience to anyone.

  An amazing experience. We made food for the elephants that we had to feed them but in calm conditions on their terms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got to walk around the reserve and see the animals roaming free and taking mud baths. When we came back we got a lovely meal that was super tasty and well cooked. Perfect for our family with children who are 8 years and 9 years old.

• A lovely relaxing way to spend the morning.

  An excellent trip - really enjoyed visiting the sanctuary and meeting the elephants in their care. Really well organized and the staff took great care of us with hats, sunscreen and water. Everyone got to complete all the activities they wanted. Really informative and a great day out. Mr Tony from Backpacker Samui Travel was really great in helping me to organize this activity; as we were staying in private accomodation he helped in choosing the pick up spot and could not have been more helpful or patient with the administration. Thank you, Mr Tony.

  Very good experience. Pick up car was not punctual. And car was a kind of truck type. For foreigners like us, it was a bit tough vehicle. Others were perfect.
