Great day trip - We had the most amazing day with Limmy. We started at the temple before anyone else was there which was so peaceful and great opportunity for photos. Then we went to sticky waterfalls where we had as much time as we wanted to explore. Last we spent a few hours at the elephant sanctuary which was truly amazing. Limmy was so knowledgeable with every stop and in between. His love for the elephants really showed and we learned so much from him!

Excellent tour - Favourite trip in Thailand. Mr Lemie was a knowledgable and attentive guide. Our tour only had 4 in the mini bus and we had sufficient time at the wat, sticky waterfall and elephants. We did the wat first and upon arriving were the only group there a rare treat , the waterfall was fun and the interactions with the elephants magical. It is clear the elephants have a connection with mr Lemie and we loved the fact it was a local sanctuary with only 13 elephants and few other tourists there, the elephants seemed very well cared for and were allowed to do as they pleased they were not encouraged/ forced to do anything they didn’t want to. Would highly recommend this thoroughly enjoyable trip.

Best tour you can do from Chiang Mai. - What a fantastic day with Limmy. We have done 4 tours in and around Chiang Mai, and this was the best. For us the elephant experience part of this tour was amazing. Limmy new the best time to visit the elephant park and has a real passion and bond with them. He is very knowledgeable about the elephants and experienced with allowing us to be in close contact and feeding them. Highly recommend. Ian & Marika Australia 🦘

This tour is the kind of experience you want to have when you come to Thailand - This tour was spectacular. Limmy, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and very accommodating. Each part of the tour was well planned, and Limmy made sure we were at each location at the prime time. The elephant portion of the tour was most impressive. Limmy has worked with this Elephant Sanctuary for a number of years and he even knows the elephants personally it was an amazing day and I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Beautiful day (temple, waterfalls and elephants) - Perfect day with Limmy! He knows the area very well, shares the history of the places visited and made us live a magnificent experience at the elephant sanctuary. All this on a private tour at the cost of group visits offered by other agencies. He drives safely. We recommend it 120%. Thank you again Limmy for a wonderful day!

Wonderful guide with great respect for animals - Limmy was a great guide! Professional and knowledgeable, took time to explain historical facts at temples as well as allowing us time to wander independently. Limmy came to life at the elephant sanctuary, his passion and connection to the animals was obvious. He really cares for them. We were in a guided group of 5 people which made the visit to the elephant sanctuary even more special.

Highly recommended tour! - This was an amazing and unforgettable day. Our guide and driver Limmy exceeded our expectations. We visited the temple first which had barely any other tourists. The sticky waterfall was fun and different. Finally, the elephants sanctuary was amazing and again, we were the only group with the elephants. It was nice to see that these elephants are under good care. Limmy was very knowledgeable and shared stories all day with our small group. We can't recommend this tour enough!
