We really enjoyed it; we were picked up very, very punctually in the morning and then collected the other guests before heading to the first stop. At each stop, everything was explained to us before we could explore everything on our own. We had the elephants with us; for us, it was the first time touching and feeding elephants. At the beginning, we prepared food for them and were then able to feed and touch them. The people who work there also explained everything to us (in English) and took photos in between. In the end, one received a QR code to download the pictures (all for free). We continued with the jeep through the jungle; it was very hilly, and one had to hold on well at times to avoid falling out. Lunch was included, but one had to pay for the drinks (unfortunately a bit too expensive). The tour lasted a total of 7 hours, and at the end, there was a water fight with the other jeeps, after which everyone was taken back to their hotel.
Very beautiful experience. Many spots to see. The visit to the elephant rescue center was really great! The only downside was the smell of diesel from the engine.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the many spots and especially the visit to the elephant rescue center. We sincerely apologize for the diesel smell from the engine — we will inform our operations team immediately to address and minimise this issue. If you have any further feedback or would like us to follow up, please let us know. We hope to welcome you back soon.
This tour was amazing, would highly recommend to anyone! Loved all the experiences and we were able to take itinerary as needs dictated. We added on the elephant experience which was immersive, educational and so fun! Our guide was awesome, lunch was amazing (quick note drinks are not included) but great day! The view from the restaurant is also just breathtaking! Also riding on the top of the jeep so fun and thanks for picking up the rambutan fruit from the market for us try try, delish! Thanks for a great day!
Nice we had a good laugh with the water battle and the guides are cool. The sanctuary rescue not very ethical because we can touch them but well they look well treated
Dear Caci, Thank you for your great review and letting us know you thought the guides were cool. The Elephants are very well treated. They had a terrible life taking people for years on their backs and now they have been rescued are never locked up and can roam freely in a safe sanctuary in Thailand. They get a delicious vitamin ball and fresh fruit salad breakfast every single day because of your kind visit. Kind regards, Mr Ung.
In itself a very nice tour. The I Love elephant Samui stop was too touristy for us personally. Nevertheless, a very successful adventure, via sometimes very bumpy and narrow paths, to climb the mountain by jeep.
Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a successful adventure over the mountain top. And thank you for stopping to feed the sanctuary elephants. They are rescued from a life of cruelty and have 9 acres of jungle to roam around in. The visit helps to keep them fed and safe from harm. Kindness appreciated.
This trip met expectations and then exceeded them, the whole day was enjoyable and should not be missed by anyone. Both tour guide and driver were full of information to share and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves
Thank you for your great review of the safari and Elephant Rescue Centre. We are glad you came along with us and took the time to write and let us know.
