    First things first: If you just want to visit the Kulen Elephant Forest then book directly on their website. It costs $100 including lunch and transport to and from Siem Reap. The organisers of this tour will rightly point out that it includes more than just that. You get: - Pickup from your hotel - Private driver and guide - Air Conditioned vehicle - Cold drinking water - After visiting the elephants, trip to Kampong Phluk Floating Village with boat ticket included - Drop off back at your hotel So, worth paying a bit extra for? Yes, maybe, but I didn’t feel like it was great value. It was both the shortest and most expensive day I had during my time in Siem Reap. I’m not sure a guide is really needed either - you’re with the Elephant Camp’s own guides whilst at the Forest and outside of that, there is limited information to impart (mostly general stuff about Cambodia). The company should offer this with driver only to make the pricing a bit better. I would still have given four stars despite the pricing, if it weren’t for what happened at the end, but the good bits first… Feeding and walking with the elephants is a wonderful experience and something that you absolutely should make time for in Siem Reap. You can make elephant food, meet them, feed them, and follow them on their exercise walk. This is followed by a nice lunch. The trip to the floating village was also very interesting (though I didn’t care for the crocodile farm). The guide and I had a boat to ourselves (with the boat driver) and got a good view of everything. The guide was also friendly and the driver drove safely and skilfully over some difficult roads. What knocks it down to three stars is this: On the way back to the hotel, I was given a sob story about how the guide’s daughter likes books but he struggles to buy them. I was asked if I wouldn’t mind visiting an “art gallery” for 10 minutes so that he could get a lucky draw ticket to try to win a book… I should have known better and refused, but I thought “hey, I can give 10 minutes of my time to help an honest working man out…” Big mistake. It was no “art gallery”. It was the Cambodian Cottage Industries place across from my hotel. Despite making it clear that I wasn’t interested in buying anything, I was chased around the place by a salesman for the whole time I was in there. High-pressure tactics were used (including going on about how money goes to orphans, etc.) and even shouted after for a donation after practically running out the door. So, that really left me feeling quite upset and angry after what had been a nice (if slightly overpriced) day out. You don’t expect that sort of thing when you’ve paid so much for a tour (not that I like it on cheaper tours - I usually refuse to go into such places) No doubt, the guide gets a cut of any sales and that’s why he tries to get people in there. So, sadly, cannot recommend this.

    Amazing experience to feed and walk with the elephants through the forest. Lucky enough to see one elephant play the water. Small groups of about 15 people was great. Lunch was plentiful and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

  • No photos available of day’s experience.

    I am very disappointed that I was not able to get the photographs that the Tour Guide took of me and the elephants.
