Gentle Elephant Sanctuary - The experience was wonderful and intimate. It was a small group of people with our tour guide and the elephants are beautiful and well taken care of. I like that they are free and not having to work anymore. Just relax. I do recommend that people be comfortable with walking especially up a very steep hill as it can be a bit much if you have foot/ knee pain. My sister needed assistance getting up the hill and they were very gracious. We both enjoyed it immensely. Especially touching them and giving them food. I highly recommend this tour. Not too long. Just enough time to connect to the animals.

A perfect hour with elephants - An amazing time spent with elephants who had come to the sanctuary after neglect. They are now free to roam and look very happy to be there. We were able to walk with them, pat and feed them.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience. We spent an hour learning about the elephants, feeding them and walking with them. The people who look after the elephants clearly understand them and treat them well. The Thai tour guide lady was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable about the elephants. Great experience which I’d highly recommend.

Unforgettable Ethical Elephant Experience! - What a wonderful place to visit – you can truly see how happy these elephants are! We joined the 11:30 afternoon tour with taxi transfer included and were blown away from start to finish. I’d done so much research beforehand, as you hear so many sad stories about elephant tourism, but this sanctuary is the real deal. Our guide was the owner himself, and it was instantly clear how much he loves his animals – not just the elephants, but also the chickens and dogs on-site. The visit began with an informative talk overlooking a serene lake, where we could spot these magnificent creatures in the distance. Lunch was a treat – fresh, authentic Thai food – with our boys even helping to prepare a papaya salad, learning about the ingredients as they went. Drinks were provided throughout. Then came the highlight – preparing sugar cane and hand-feeding an elephant! Afterwards, we walked alongside them through the park, with plenty of photo opportunities. Bathing them was optional, and we chose to watch from the viewing platform, where it was a joy to see them play in the water. The whole experience was unforgettable. The elephants are clearly loved and well cared for, and the owner is proud of the ethical sanctuary he has built. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience – please support this amazing place! This isn’t just a tourist attraction – it’s a place where elephants are truly respected and happy. Please visit and support this sanctuary – you won’t regret

Unforgettable Elephant Sanctuary Experience! 🐘✨ - Absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our driver was prompt and super friendly—pickup was quick and smooth, and we were off to one of the best experiences of our lives. The sanctuary itself is a peaceful, beautiful haven. We had one-on-one time with the elephants, which made the entire visit feel so personal and special. Feeding them, walking with them, and learning their stories was heartwarming and unforgettable. The meal provided was delicious and authentic—you could tell it was made with love. Everything about the day radiated happiness and genuine care for the elephants. The staff clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for something fun, meaningful, and truly unique, this is it. We left with full hearts and huge smiles. HIGHLY recommend! 🌿💚🐘

Communication troubles but good tour overall - The hands on experience was truly unforgettable. We were able to feed and interact with 5 elephants with great photo opportunities. Sadly, the tour was not very informative about elephants and their behavior. Beware— when you book a tour for a specific time, pick up maybe as much as an hour earlier. Consider contacting your guide for specifics. We were not notified and were quite surprised when the driver arrived at 9:05 AM for our 10 AM tour. We were told we needed to be in the lobby in 5 minutes or the tour would be cancelled. No one was helpful. However once we arrived to the sanctuary we were very happy we came.
