Full-day elephant experience from Khao Lak

4.7/5
30 reviews

This full day tour is Thailand to a tee. It's got elephants, Thai food and even a bamboo raft ride through the jungle. You'll visit an elephant rescue centre to learn about these gentle giants before a tasty Thai lunch. Then, spend the afternoon floating downriver in a bamboo raft and checking out a Sea Turtle Conservation Centre.

The adventure starts with a scenic drive through Khao Lak National Park, offering spectacular views over the Andaman Sea. The Seaside Retreat stands as one of Thailand's premier parks for elephants. Upon arrival, you'll dive right into learning about and caring for the elephants, an experience that not only connects you with nature but also educates about the critical importance of conservation.

Soon, it'll be time for you to eat. Watch your lunch being prepared at live cooking stations before feasting on tasty Thai treats. Then you'll have the chance to relax with a soothing foot spa and create a nature-inspired Eco Print souvenir. Last but not least, hop on a bamboo raft and float through the jungle to the Sea Turtle Conservation Centre – an initiative that cares for thousands of endangered baby turtles until they are released into the Andaman Sea.

    The whole experience was fantastic, both guide and driver was very friendly and helpful. A little more time with the elephants would have nice, however not essential as we had about an hour and a half

    One of the reasons I booked this was because it was advertised as 13+ trip. However there were 3 children under that age. Very disappointing
