Koh Samui Elephant Experience

4.8/5
165 reviews

Feeding and seeing Asian elephants up close is one of Thailand's bucket list experiences, so this half-day tour takes you to Samui Elephant Home to meet them. You'll see them in the mud spa and help to prepare their food, before walking with them through Koh Samui's lush natural surroundings.

Samui Elephant Home works to help and care for elephants with the aim of releasing Asian elephants into the wild and conserving the species for generations to come. And you'll be able to take a look into the project's hard work by helping them with their daily routine and learning about elephant conservation in Koh Samui.

On arrival, you'll be given an introduction to the centre, then it's over to the food prep station to prepare the elephants' meals before feeding them. During this activity, you'll be able to learn about the elephant's dietary needs, and even a find out about the individual quirks of each animal. Afterwards, you'll head over to the mud spa, then walk with them, observing the way they play and interact with their natural habitat.

    Transfer war reibungslos. Vorbereitung des Teams war sehr gut, klare Vorträge und Sicherheitsanweisungen. Vorbereitete Mittagessen war mehr als genug. Getränke gesichert. Weitere gute Punkte: free Wifi, deutsche Anleitung, hilfreiche Personal.

    Ich kann den Besuch nur empfehlen, zumal sehr darauf geachtet wird, daß es den Elefanten dort gut geht. Viele Tiere dort haben eine schreckliche Vergangenheit und hier finden sie Menschen die sie beschützen und nicht missbrauchen. Das Personal ist sehr um Aufklärung bemüht, sehr zuvorkommend und gastfreundlich. Immer wieder gerne.

    Es wurde alles sehr professionell erklärt. Wir wurden mit allem rundum gut versorgt. Dieses Naturerlebnis mit den Elefanten kann man immer wieder empfehlen. Gut das es auf Koh Samui diesen Tierschutz und die gute Versorgung der Elefanten gibt. Martin u. Ute

    Ein liebevoller Ort. Man spürt mit wie viel Leidenschaft und Engagement sich die Mitarbeiter um die beeindruckenden Tiere kümmern. Sie erzählen alles über die Geschichte jedes einzelnen Elefanten und wir waren sehr gerührt und schätzen es umso mehr,das diese Auffangstationen ins Leben gerufen wurden. Wir würden sofort noch ein Mal gehen.
