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

A respectful, ethical and family friendly elephant experience - We’ve been to a few of these and I usually slightly dread them, worrying about how the Elephants are actually treated. This was by far the best we’ve been to yet. It treated the animals with respect, taught the children a lot about them and it was all done in a very natural and open setting. There were no gimmicks or tourist centred things like bathing with the elephants - I thought the place was much better because of it!

Beautiful ethical elephant experience - 10/10⭐️✨ We LOVED this experience so much!!!! I was very careful to pick an ethical sanctuary and this one 100% lived up to my expectations. We got to see 7 beautiful elephants that were rescued from bad conditions. It was such a beautiful setting and you could tell the elephants were so well taken care of and loved by the staff. Go to this place!!

Would recommend this ethical sanctuary! - Very ethical Elephant sanctuary. Our tickets are how they fund it! Support them. Don't book tours where you can bath them as this stresses them out. This one is very caring for their elephants and saved them. Also lots of opportunities for pictures

Unforgettable Experience at Bukit Elephant Park - Visiting Bukit Elephant Park was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The park offers a beautiful, respectful and ethical environment for interacting with these magnificent animals. Our tour gave us the opportunity to walk along side the elephants in a calm and natural setting. It was amazing to see how well cared and relaxed the elephants were - no chains no pressure to perform just genuine interaction and education. Highly recommended for families, animal lovers and anyone looking for an ethical experience.

Great Experience without having to buy into cruelty of animals - Was amazing, very informative and fun without having elephants being put through cruelty for our entertainment which was nice to know. The guide -Gift was lovely and you could see how passionate she is about her job when talking about the elephants and to you. Would recommend anyone here 1000x over any other elephant experience and will support them to fund more rescues of other elephants living in poor conditions

Great Experience - It took us sometime to choose what elephant tour we book from GetYourGuide, luckily we landed on this one. It was a pleasure being guided by Sara in the park I was amazed by how well Sara knows each and every elephant in the park including their different attitude! We were also informed the ELEPHANTS DON’T LIKE BEING RIDED OR BATHED so please avoid doing that. Instead we fed them bananas and made rice balls for them! When you pay for tickets you are also donating the ticket fees to the park ;)
