This is a once in a lifetime magical experience with the Elephant Sanctuary. A sustainably run, elephant focused safe haven for rescued elephants with softly provided but harsh truths provided to educate guests about the plight of elephants. To then welcome elephants from the forest, walk with them, feed them, mud bath with then and then swim with them is a magical day. We went with 2 adults and 2 teenagers. 100% recommend. Easy meet-up and transportation provided from accommodation.
A real sanctuary in a beautiful setting. Elephants are free to come and go as they please, have a wash and food but generally do what they want. Obviously they've some sort of schedule, but it doesn't feel at all that they are there against their will.All of the elephants have been relocated and rescued from working logging operations or circuses/riding experiences. If you're in Krabi, this is one of the only true sanctuaries around - 100% recommend.We took our 1yr old, and it's perfectly suitable for her. Plenty of shade, and you can interact as much or as little as suits you with the animals.
My daughter and I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at the Elephant Sanctuary. One can really tell that the founder and all the staff really love the elephants. We loved all parts of the experience: the background information about the mission of the sanctuary, the banana feeding, the walk in the jungle, the supplement preparation, the mud bath with the elephants, the shower, and finally the bath in the pond together with scrubbing and washing those magnificent animals. It’s so heartwarming to see them being treated with so much love and respect, after they have been rescued from harsh human-induced conditions.
This was an amazing experience. To start we got picked up from our hotel. We fed the elephants bananas and went on a walk with them. We then proceeded to make their vitamin balls that we also fed them. We took a mud bath with the elephants and took a shower with them to wash the mud off. The owner was very kind. You could tell he cared a lot about the elephants. We then got driven back to our hotel. Overall amazing experience. The sanctuary rescues elephants and gives them an amazing place to stay. The elephants can move around freely and are well fed every day.
Really great, we went to feed the elephant at the entrance in the afternoon. Didn't want to book a tour to protect the elephants…But from the outside it looked and sounded great.
Wonderful experience! And 100% ok. There are currently 6 elephants in care. Walk around freely without fences. Among the locals. ThisElephants are from babiesPeople are used to and would not be able to fend for themselves in nature. Because the elephants feel good here, they don't leave. The locals also help. The animals have a lotNeed food that's why we doTourists are needed to finance this. Small groups. Not the cheapest tour but therefore better organized.
