I looked for an elephant sanctuary that didn't bathe, swim, or touch these beautiful animals and decided on this sanctuary. We were divided into small groups, given a bit of history on the elephants then was able to feed them bananas. We then walked with them, more like followed them around. They weren't forced to move, eat, or walk where they didn't want to. It's an experience we will treasure...

This was a great day out getting a chance to see the elephants up close was an amazing experience. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the whole experience was well worth it. Not often you’ll get a chance to wash an elephant

This experience was lovely and I would not trade these memories for anything! We were picked up from our hotel and then arrived at the sanctuary where we were given a quick background on the sanctuary and the elephants they have. We then went and made some herbal snacks for the elephants to eat. Seeing the elephants up close was honestly amazing!! You could tell the workers truly and genuinely cared for the elephants. I appreciated that there was some elephants who did not want the snacks and the workers would simply tell us to go to another elpahnt instead of attempting to force the animals (as I have heard other “sanctuaries” do). It felt like a space where the elephants were highly respected and cared for. We also got to see the elephants walking around because (and as the tour guide reminded us) this space is theirs first and foremost. I loved that when meeting wach elephant the guide would tell us their name, their age and when they got them. They also told us a bit about their personality which I thought was cute. The elephants were beautiful, stunning creatures. So gently and lovely. Honestly such a lovely experience and a comfortable atmosphere. We also climbed to see a waterfall and went to a sea turtle conservation! Lunch was also provided. The guide we had was super friendly and informative and I would highly recommend.

Wow. This was an amazing experience. Incredible to be so close to elephants. These are all rescue elephants who are now living a relaxing retirement. We fed them and then took a walk with one of them. I loved that we weren’t allowed to touch them - it was very respectful and their welfare obviously came before our needs!! The guide Tony was hilarious. Highly recommended

Interesting elephant camp without riding and bathing, 5 female elephants 31 to 51 years old. Nice young guides at the camp. Price - performance with 50 € per person with taxi are ok for 90 minutes stay. The camp has existed since 2023.

Had a great 4h trip at Tony's elephant sanctuary including feeding the elephants, having a walk with one of them, watching elephant going for a swim. After this had a great swim at a nearby waterfall. Trip finished with a thai cooking class where we prepared together excellent Pad Thai as a dinner for us. Overall highly recommended!

Elephants are lovely, we did not want to ride or bathe with them, this experience was great as we fed the elephants bananas and walked with one too our guide was knowledgable about the elephants that we were introduced to.

Really easy to book, described as an Ethical Sanctuary, which is 100% what we wanted, no touching,bathing, and this is just what we got. Tony, our guide told us all about the Elephants on site, their backgrounds and how they came to be rescused. We had a walk with one elephant who seemed totallly happy grazing and splashing in the stream whilst we stayed at a distance to observe. Really lovely day with these gentle giants and the people who care for them.

Picked up earlier than expected...time stated is for the start of the tour at the sanctuary! Short wait for the start of our tour but offered free tea or coffee. We were lucky to be on our own for most of our experience and were able to observe 'our' beautiful elephant very closely. Our lovely guide, Tim, was friendly and informative, taking photos for us and giving us personal service. The elephants were very well cared for and given the space to enjoy their lives. It was so hard not to touch them, though! Thoroughly recommend. Our lift back took another couple to their hotel first so took a while but let us see a different area.
