5.00Really enjoyable experience. It was so beautiful to see the rescued elephants able to roam freely. You can see they are very well cared. The crew was very lovely and made sure we were very well taken care of throughout the day. The lunch was so delicious too! Would definitely recommend!

5.00We had such a knowledgeable guide and was able to spend a lot one on one time with each of the elephants, feeding and washing them. There is some climbing of hills and it can be slick on those hills. You will get dirty so dress accordingly. It’s an experience we won’t forget!
An absolute MUST tour!!

5.00This small group experience exceeds expectations even after reading all of the wonderful reviews it was even better than expected. My 11 year old daughter enjoyed every moment of our three hour experience. The elephants were well cared for and clearly very happy. The staff was very kind and helpful taking photos and explaining everything about elephants. It is not rushed and not crowded. Booking this tour was the very best decision for my children.
