Fabulous day out! Would highly recommend! Very hot in the jungle but worth every second. Tanya was a great guide!
We had a fantastic private tour for our family of 17. Our brilliant, friendly and knowledgable tour guide was Oanna. She looked after all of us (from age 4 to 70+) very well and the sanctuary itself was beautiful, clean and offered an exceptional, up close and personal experience with the elephants who all seemed happy and well cared for. We made elephant protein powerballs and fed them to the elephants, enjoyed the treetop walk walk and feeding the elephants sugarcane, bananas and corn from up high, and also some up close photographs followed by a delicious, traditional Thai lunch. Would definitely recommend this experience.
From the pickup at the hotel to the staff, tour and the food, it was a great experience. If you are in Koh Samui, you should not miss this. You not only learn about elephants but you are able to feed them and also pet them. A very ethical sanctuary which really takes care of the elephants.
Me and my partner had a great time I’m off a farm in Australia and deal with animals all the time and these gentle giants where amazing to be around
We had a great time at the Elephant Sanctuary. Felt that the animals were well treated and enjoying their life
It was a wonderful experience everyone there was so nice and pleasant our Guide Tonya did a wonderful job. She’s a very. Energetic which makes the experience that much better. The food there was wonderful. I was not expecting that but truly was amazing. The elephants are so pleasant and friendly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
This was such an unforgettable experience in the best way. The elephants were amazing to see and feed up close. They were treated very well and allowed to roam free and you could see how much care they got. Our guide Thanya was amazing and shared lots about the elephants with us but also made the experience fun and very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who will listen!
Superb family moment. Pick-up directly at the hotel. Our guide, Sarah, was lovely (thanks again to her!), we received many explanations. The place is magnificent and well-maintained, the elephants indeed seem extremely well-treated, our children loved it! We were able to feed and touch the elephants, fantastic
This was the best tour I have been on. The treatment and care for the elephants was amazing. One elephant gave me numerous hugs. Loved everything on this tour.
Very fun experience! We had Jay as our guide, and he was knowledgeable, polite, and welcoming throughout the day. The lunch was excellent, and the coffee shop had delicious smoothies. The tour was the perfect length—not too long and not too short. Overall, I couldn’t rate the experience any higher; it was absolutely worth the money.
