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.

Ocean was great. I truly enjoyed hanging out with her. She is a excellent host with a warm spirit. My favorite activity was feeding the elephants and going to the rose venue

So glad I booked this. I booked the sunset ride and it was beautiful. We included the transfer but where a little late due to unexpected traffic but this did not affect the experience luckily as I thought our time would get cut short. If you want to gallop etc you need to book in the morning I think when the beach is clear (check with them to make sure). I was hoping to do this but because the beach was busy I was not able to. We did a few trots and I got in two little canters at the end which I was so so happy about! You are escorted by someone on foot who is happy to take photos and videos etc and they are really nice. My partner is not a rider and he was on a lead rope which the staff where kind enough to remove for any photos. The two horses we had where really well behaved and listened to the instructors and where also responsive to me. I can ride and have experience but I’m not 100% confident as I’ve not ridden in a few years but the horse I had just made my experience amazing I was so impressed with him. I’d definitely go again!

very good follow up from the tour company to confirm the arrangement immediate after booking on klook. we were well taken care from the moment the van picked us up from hotel. the elephant guide was friendly and helpful. he gave us bottled water when we arrived. then lead us to feed the elephants at our own pace. after that more bottled water and cold watermelons while the kids painted their clay souvenir. the place is clean.
