We took about an 1h and 15 mins to get to the sanctuary, as we were located on another corner of Phuket island, with another pick up along the way. Mr Anais was incredibly helpful and helped us along with photos and carrying the bucket. He made the experience of meeting the elephants much more enriching and memorable. glad to see the elephants are in good hands. thank you.

I liked it very much. They immediately wrote about the transfer from the hotel. Upon arrival they gave us a bottle of water. After feeding the elephants they gave us watermelons and a symbolic souvenir as a snack.

great class and professionally run. we had a lot of fun with chef sgat and chef au, and the entire kitchen team, learning how to cook thai dishes. worth it. you eat what you make, so it surprised us to taste that our own cooking actually was quite good!

A wonderful, ethical elephant tour! The animals were well treated and the guide was great. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience elephants in their natural environment, without any cruelty!

Good experience, very friendly staff. The elephants are very cute. They were injured or rescued from the wild and then protected by the park. They are very worthy of support.
