Phuket: Elephant Nature Walk - Guided Tour with Transport
Description
Freedom Elephant Reserve's 90 minutes experience start's with feeding to help create a bond between you and your new friends. Guests are given a basket of fruit each to take to the feed station, where they will watch the elephants eat at their own pace as they use their trunks to guide their food into their mouths. Whilst the elephants eat and you enjoy your time with them, our guides will tell you all about their individual stories. You can photograph and watch the elephants at your leisure while you learn about their lifestyle and behaviors. After the feeding is over and you have been introduced to all the elephants, you will walk along with the elephants to the mud spa. It’s time to cover their bodies in mud. This is where they will rub themselves against the mud wall to rub off parasites and exfoliate to remove any dead skin. Next, they will head over to the river. This is where you will observe them wade through the water as they splash, play, and cool themselves down.

Fantastic experience. This is a new sanctuary, only 1 1/2 years old and doesn’t get support from the government, only from visitors. The information provided was fascinating and really made me realize the importance of an ethical tour. Our tour was perfect. We got close to the elephants while they ate, walked with them, fed them snacks and watched them bath and cover themselves with dirt. All the while, our guide filled us with tons of information. Highly recommend and would do it again and again.
Wow just wow! What a beautiful, ethical, and informative tour! This experience was 10/10. It was amazing to be in the elephants natural habitat and get to interact with them in their everyday life. You truly learn so much during this tour. We got to watch them and feed them from a safe and ethical distance. I would recommend over and over again!
This is something every visitor should experience. Animals are in a natural habitat and so well taken care. Everything you as a guest witness is true.
Lots of fun much more than I expected
