Humbling Elephant Experience

One of the best and humbling experiences we’ve ever experienced. We were a family with 4 adults and 2 kids. There was also another family of 5. It was nice only having a small group , it made the experience personal. Everyone was so accommodating especially to my children. We learned a lot about the elephants and they seem very well taken care of. I liked that the whole tour was very interactive while being ethical that included getting to make food for the elephants, watching them bathe, and just observing them in the jungle. The lunch was also delicious and thoughtful. Overall, this was a 100/10 experience and was well worth it.

Awesome fun with the elephants!

We had a wonderful time at the Samui Elephant Home! The staff were knowledgable, fun and passionate and made our experience very special. We had lots of time with the elephants and also learned a lot about ethical tourism and the importance of supporting this initiative. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Highlight of our Thailand holiday

We visited here on Saturday morning for the half day tour, and it was hands down our highlight of our full trip to Thailand! We spent hours searching different locations across our trip to Thailand for an ethical Elephant sanctuary. Once we made it to Koh Samui we finally decided on trying this one, and I can honestly say it’s the best decision we made. The staff are incredible, we’re Scottish and didn’t have a problem once communicating with staff or asking all our questions. They’re more than happy to explain how the sanctuary works, a bit about their jobs and of course, everything you want to know about the elephants. There was never a moment where we felt the elephants were anything less than loved here. We’re massive animal lovers, and this is always key for us. We left feeling so blessed to have been able to experience a day with elephants, and felt comfort In knowing that nothing was forced for tourism. The elephants can do whatever they want, we’re in their environment and are made to respect that. This is the most value for money day out that I’ve ever booked, so much so that I had left a donation in their box at the end, because I felt like I’d massively underpaid for our experience. I’d happily have paid 4 or 5x’s more, and not had an issue with it. Absolutely everything was provided for us, and there was no hidden fees involved either - which is rare. From lunch, to mosquito sprays, handheld fans, hats for sun protection and even a free video to keep as memories of your day. Thanks to all the staff for an amazing experience, and a lifelong memory

Koh Samui’s best day out.

Great morning. Best thing I think I may have ever done. Getting up close ans soaked by natures giants. Can tell the staff love the animals and it’s a mutual feeling. Big happy elephants getting pampered after all they’ve been through. From start to finish epic.
