Respectful Elephant Visit

5.00This was a great way to respectfully visit elephants in Thailand. Our guide told us the rescue story of many of the elephants. We were able to observe them and feed them, and learn a lot about them. They are trying to rescue more elephants, so it was great to support their cause.
Excellent Day Out with the Elephants

5.00Lovely day exploring elephants and learning about them at Bukit Elephant Park. No riding, no bathing, no activities that would cause any kind of harm or stress to the elephants. Simply being in the same space and feeding them was enough. Picked up and dropped off by the Bukit team from the hotel, which made it easy from a logistics perspective. Excellent value.
Awesome time

5.00Complimentary Thai tea was nice. Spending time with the elephants was great! We started off by feeding them bananas which they took from your hand with their trunks. We then walked along the preserve and go to take pics with a few of them and saw them take a bath. We then made rice balls and hand fed them directly to their mouth which was a really cool experience. Their tongues are HUGE and slimy. The whole experience was great from beginning to end. They provide you with cold water and umbrellas for shade. The elephants seem well taken care of and have lots of room to roam. The tour guide was very informative. I highly recommend this tour.
