Ethics meets adventure - Such a beautiful experience. Getting to be so close to these magnificent creatures without all the gimmicks and shows, no cruelty, just ex-captive elephants getting a second chance to just be an elephant. The guides are highly knowledgeable and show a deep respect for the elephants. Ona, my guide was so lovely, and always keen to answer my many questions and throw in a few jokes as well. She was also a pro at taking some pictures for me with my mirrorless camera and also phone, what a pro. The food provided was fantastic, highly recommend you try the Pad Thai at the end and the papaya salad, bother delicious, but they also have some western food, but stick with the Thai stuff, it's delicious :D I would definitely ve back, and would 100% recommend this to family and friends to go and see while in Samui

Very nice experience and perfect for families. Perfect guide and it's nice to see that they take care of the elephants. No warte - Very nice experience and perfect for families. Perfect guide and it's nice to see that they take care of the elephants. Not too long but not quickly short and you get plenty of time to both take pictures and clap the elephants. Also a totally lovely Thai buffet after the tour with lovely pad thai!

Definitely worth a trip!!! - What an experience to experience these beautiful animals live. No riding, no bathing, just watching the animals and feeding a little. At the end you were allowed to pet the animals carefully and take pictures. The facility is very nice, the guides are super nice. It is definitely worth a trip to support the people here to rescue these animals from non-species-appropriate husbandry.

Nice but not as ethical as I hoped - I did quite a bit of research to find an elephant sanctuary that was ethical and thought this was it, a place where you’re only allowed to make the feed, feed these gentle giants and observe them from a sky walk. However, we did all of that and then at the end, they opened the gate and let the groups go into the elephant enclosures for photos with and to stroke the elephants. So the sky walk was pointless. We politely declined to have our photos taken with the elephants or touch them. Other guests were constantly stroking them and having pictures with them. Poor creatures. Just let them be and observe them from above. Disappointing.
