Very good tour of rescued elephants - A well organised tour. We were picked up on time , and went on a walk with the guide. There were a range of children’s ages. They all enjoyed hearing about the elephants, their favourite was when they went into the water. There was shade for the group, and it was long enough for the 2 & 4 yo. I liked the fact there was no forced activities.

Rescued elephants - We are deeply impressed by the work of the Sanctuary in rescuing elephants from being mistreated, locked, hooked and chained. The tour guide was professional, providing us with the details, story of each elephant.

Beautiful experience of knowing the animal - Located a short distance from Phuket town easily accessible by car. A competent Guide accompanies you with love and care to discover the good giant. You don't swim, they don't like it very much because they move so much when they're in the water and if they have people around they can't do it You can take pictures with them, give a caress to some of them and hug the trunk to one very friendly specimen. All animals saved by tracking. And your money contributes to that. Pay the rescued elephants. Absolutely recommended

Short and very well planned. - We did the 1.5 hour tour only. It was very informative and interactive and we enjoyed the experience. Something you must do when visiting Thailand.

An Elefantastic day in Phuket. - From pickup to return to the hotel, I felt as comfortable as the elephants. A truly unique experience with the elephants. The best part was... no elephant riding, no elephant bathing, and no chains. The food that was cooked today was also delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable day at your park. ขอบคุณ 🙏🏽🐘✨️🇹🇭

Fantastic Experience - This tour was a great experience, we have a toddler and we were able to watch, feed and walk with the elephants. We heard about their stories and were able to pat some and have some photos. It’s a fantastic sanctuary and we would highly recommend it to anyone

Good trip - Unfortunately our pick up arrived late (11:20) and we missed the first part of the tour so had to run to catch up. It was great to see the elephants in a natural environment and they appeared to well cared for. The guide had good English and gave great information.

Staged Elephants, Crowded with inefficient transportation. - Staged elephants, crowded and awful transportation. While I appreciate the rescue of the elephants, the elephants felt staged based on where Bukit placed the food and that they were just trained to be on display. The tour was also very crowded and the shared bus transportation was massively disrupted inefficient. We spent an extra 2 hours in the van driving between beach towns that were not close to each other. We booked 1.5 hour event. Left our hotel at 8am and didn’t get back until 1230.

2/10 - I didn't think it was a nice experience staff extremely rude. Pretending to be sweet But aren't they at all, one scolded my child for crying, I asked her what she said she changed the subject (I understand Thai) mrs was very faded and said it wasn't meant for us. Too bad.
