24 reviews

Caring for elephants is more than just an activity; it's a heart-warming encounter that's guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Head to a local Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and you'll spend half learning all about these gentle giants, and after making some magical memories, finish off with a delicious Thai lunch.

Leaving Phuket, you'll head straight for the Elephant Sanctuary – tucked away in a serene spot, this sanctuary prides itself on being a safe space for these intelligent animals. Upon arrival, you'll dive straight into an introduction to the programme's conservation efforts. Then, it's time to come face-to-face with the elephants. You'll get a glimpse of feeding time with these gentle giants, and watch them take a mud bath.

You'll wrap things up with a tasty Thai lunch to reflect on your day, with an extra surprise. A visit here is not only an item to check off your bucket list, but an experience to cherish for a lifetime.

    What an incredible experience! I cannot recommend this highly enough. Getting to feed and pet these incredible creatures was such a humbling experience. Reindeer and the rest of the team provided us all with such a memorable day. All these animals had such lovely characters it was an honour to spend the day with them

    The elephant sanctuary was amazing, you get a safety talk and hear about the history of them and where they came from. You get to feed the elephants, as well as prepare their food and watch them take a mud bath and play in the water. We made paper from elephant ********** (yes you heard that right) made tie dyed head scarfs and even had a cooking lesson which we got to then eat. Lunch was great and we even got a little gift bag to take home. It was a fabulous experience.

    Excellent time at the elephant sanctuary . We learned about why they ended up in the sanctuary, fed them, washed them after a mud bath and swim and then made a pad thai which we ate accompanied by some food prepared by the staff. The guide was fabulous - friendly , informative and encouraging. An all round fantastic experience
