Join us for a meaningful half-day adventure at Phuket’s ethical elephant sanctuary. After hotel pickup, you’ll be welcomed by our guides and introduced to the rescued elephants who now live freely in their forest home. Walk along natural trails to observe them foraging, playing, and socializing, while learning about their stories and care.

Next, discover how herbal food and snacks are prepared to support the elephants’ health, then enjoy the unforgettable experience of feeding them by hand — no riding, no shows, just genuine interaction. The small-group setting ensures a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take photos.

Your visit ends with light refreshments and a lunch box before saying farewell to the elephants. With transfers included, this 4-hour program is a perfect way to combine education, conservation, and unforgettable memories, all while directly supporting elephant welfare in Phuket.

    Really 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!

    We 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!!

    This experience was our FAVORITE in Thailand. Thod was the best tour guide, we learned so much about elephants in general and have a whole new respect for them and their keepers. I keep watching the videos from this day and get tears. It was so special beginning to end. AND lunch was AMAZING!!

    Up close and personal. Able to feed, pet, walk with and totally interact with the elephants. They truly are gentle giants.

    This 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.
