unforgettable experience - Today’s visit to the elephant sanctuary was an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience. It was very obvious how much care, respect, and love the staff have for the elephants, who are allowed to live in an environment as close to their natural habitat as possible. We learned so many interesting facts about their lives and behavior, which made the visit even more meaningful. We had the chance to feed the elephants from an elevated walkway and later prepare protein balls for them, which they happily ate straight from our hands. Being able to get so close to these gentle giants, take photos, and gently touch them on the head was truly special. To top it all off, the experience ended with a delicious meal for us as well. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants a responsible, educational, and heartwarming encounter with elephants. 🐘💚

Wonderful !!! - It was an incredibly great experience !! We can only recommend it. The animals are visibly fine and everyone is so affectionate to the animals. Great facility and great staff. We were allowed to learn a lot about each animal and could also ask many questions !!! Keep it up😊

A truly amazing... - A truly amazing experience. You really get to interact with the elephants on their terms. Not performative or feels forced. Jay was a great host and explained everything so clearly.

Great experience! Do it! - We researched which sanctuary to go to as we wanted a great experience learning and being close to the elephants in an ethical environment and this place did not disappoint. Transportation there was well organized from our hotel, time spent on the tour was just the right amount of time. Being close to the elephants towards the end of the tour and feeding them was an amazing experience. I was not expecting to be as impressed with the experience as I was. Lots of fun and educational. The staff were all great and the lunch at the end was a nice relaxing bonus to talk about our experience and have good food. I recommend this place and completely enjoyed the day!

Outstanding experience. - Our visit was fantastic. Keenly priced. Staff were excellent and the elephants looked to be very well cared for. It never felt like they were performing for us (which was key for us). Really good interaction with the elephants, even my disinterested teenage son was take aback at how brilliant they were. When we were done we were told we were about to have the best Pad Thai in Samui. Wasn’t far wrong there either. A fantastic trip, recommended.

Meet the Elephants! - We had an amazing morning feeding the elephants and learning all about the fantastic work they do at the sanctuary. The best part was getting to go in the the enclosure and meet the elephants, respectfully with no climbing or riding. It seemed clear the elephants here are loved and well looked after.

Gorgeous Experience 😍 - Was beautiful to see the elephants so cared for and my such a passionate team! 🥰 the grounds where all well layed out and designed. The skywalk is an amazing way to get close to the Elephants safely. Making the protein balls to feed them was fun as well as learning about each elephants history! Great experience 👍

Amazing experience at Elephant Kingdom Samui! - What a wonderful and heartwarming visit! The elephants are treated with so much love and respect, and it truly shows. Our family had an unforgettable time — learning, feeding, and spending time up close with these gentle giants. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly care deeply about the animals. A must-visit experience for anyone coming to Koh Samui!

Sad story - Still People control the elephants. You can have a special vip groundtour to make pictures of all the elephants. This is not natural behaviour but a sad story. Stop with this extra offer of 2880 thb! Tourist can not depend how the elephants have to behave. And a caretaker pulled on the elephants ears we saw.
