We came as a group of 9 for the half day experience and we have all said it was one of the best experiences of our lives. We are on a world cruise and this has been our favourite day of the 108 days we’ve had around the world! The elephants are so loved and so well kept and k and noon really shone with all of the knowledge and kindness they offered. Will be recommending to everyone who visits Phuket!

There is only one sentence. You have to go and support this sanctuary and give generously. It's amazing. The staff are happy the elephants even happier and the visitors have a remarkable time. Don't forget to reserve and see elephants in a magical place looked after by caring people

Awesome experience Very knowledgeable staff. They went out of their way to be sure we all had a wonderful time. Educated us on the different species and their anatomy, helped us feed them. We got to get into the water with the elephants and bathe them. Highly recommend this. Smiley and Fang Fang were wonderful as well as all the elephant trainers.

The dedication to ethical practices, such as a strict no-riding policy, showcases their commitment to animal well-being. The knowledgeable guides passionately share insights into elephant behavior and conservation efforts.
The lush jungle setting provides a serene backdrop for visitors to interact with these incredible creatures in a respectful and sustainable manner.
Supporting local communities and prioritizing eco-friendly initiatives, this sanctuary stands as a shining example of responsible tourism, leaving a positive impact on both elephants and the environment.
Our wonderful guide Nancy was OUTSTANDING!!!!! Hugely knowledgeable and professional and very passionate about the elephant welfare.
From the driver, to the lovely cook to the Elephant caretakers- they were all wonderful and made the visit the highlight of our trip!! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Im going to phuket march 7th to 22and.
And we plan on going to elephant jungle sanctuary phuket.
Does occupancy fill up at this sort of thing?
Can I wait until we arrive to schedule a day there.
Or should I book on line ahead of time.
My experience with excursions was always best/cheaper to wait till arrival.

Hi, we booked at the time. I believe there are 3 sanctuaries run by the same company with both morning and late morning excursions so you should have no trouble in going to one of the locations. Each group is of about 12 people with pick up at your accommodation in Phuket. Tony

Bonjour,
Nous partons en Thaïlande dans quelques jours et je voulais savoir si il est préférable de réserver cette sortie avant de partir ou directement sur place ?
Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.

Hej, det ligger ca. 15 min. kørsel fra midt patong by. Vi bestilte billetterne online og mener vi ga mellem 400-500kr. pr. Person med afhentning på sit hotel :-)
