The sanctuary was great. The guides were very friendly, energetic and informative. Making the food then feeding the elephants was a fantastic experience, and being able to get in the water to wash them was also fantastic. It was a highlight of our trip to Koh Samui. The only downside was it did take longer than expected to get there and back. So it was nearly 7hrs all up from when we left our hotel to returning to our hotel.
