I learned a lot about the elephants and their habits. The guides were very knowledgeable. It was also super fun to feed them and understand their personalities. If you are looking for an educational and fun experience, I highly recommend it.
Just go! And play with elephants all day!

An amazing experience. As a veterinarian and animal lover I must say that I was in doubt about what I was going to find and the experience has been unique. They have the space and comforts to demonstrate their natural behavior, which is more important
Great Time at Living Green Elephant Sanctuary

The actual experience at Living Green Elephant Sanctuary was wonderful. Got to feed, pet, and interact with the elephants. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly and very caring about the elephants. They also did well explaining concerns or danger areas around them. Current group of elephants even includes a 4 month old baby named Charlie. They were watchful for both the elephants and the tour participants and willing to answer any questions. Lunch afterward (Pad Thai and watermelon) was great. The only issues we had were 1. with the pick-up (app said 7am; driver sent message saying 730am; didn't show up until after 8am. Meeting point was a bus station, but not a specific place at the bus station which was very large). 2. You can actually get in the water to play with the elephants. The app says that you get a Living Green shirt and towel experience but would have been nice to know that you needed a change of clothes or shoes if you got in the water. Other than those two issues, the trip was worth it. It's about 1-2 hours each way and about 3 hours at the site.
