Изживяване в резерват за слонове „Скрито горско светилище“ в Пукет

one of the few places you should go if you want to see elephants and actually care about them ! the whole experience is so cute and worth every penny. they truly care about giving these rescued elephants a good retirement and don't force them to do anything! never partake in bathing as it is abusive to the elephants. at the end they feed you a really delicious meal buffet and you get to sit in this cute area and watch the elephants swim on their own if they want to and it's not forced. it's a beautiful space and they teach you the background of each elephant. the pickup was easy and nice and air-conditioned and they were easy to talk to on what's app.

the only actually ethical elephant experience. This should be the only way to interact with elephants. it's a magical and peaceful experience where your can learn a lot. The buffet meal provided was also delicious and vegetarian

Really lovely experience, very knowledgable and friendly guides, a leisurely and informative morning strolling watching and feeding the elephants! Certainly no bathing or touching the elephants. It's more like a retirement home for their 6 ageing/rescued females. It's great to know there are increasingly more people aware of the harm and stress done to elephants in the tourism industry, and are opting for relatively non-intrusive ways to see them up close. These elephants are very used to humans because of their earlier experience, so can still get close to them which is nice. 旅游业对大象造成的伤害非常严重，希望更多人可以选择这种方式去近距离接触大象，不要给他们洗澡，更不要去骑，可以网上搜搜那些大象是如何被驯服的。和大象洗澡其实很不卫生，尤其不要带孩子。这个地方的6头年长母象是从旅游业/伐木业买来的，相当于大象养老院！可以看到她们在接近自然的栖息地活动互动，可喂食但不鼓励触摸大象。讲解是英文的（也有芬兰语哈哈）语言不过关不太建议来，好像没有会讲中文的工作人员，听不懂无法沟通会少很多乐趣。要自带水杯，拒绝一次性塑料瓶，午餐简单好吃。

I made sure to do extra research in order to find a place that was truly ethical in Phuket and came across Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve, who only offer feeding and observation activities. Elephants here are extremely well looked after by the staff & mahouts 24/7 and the tour focused on observing these elephant’s behaviour with little to no interference from visitors! Elephants were never forced to do anything they didnt want to do and the lunch provided was delicious also! Highly recommend for people wanting to see Elephants in Phuket in an ethical way

wonderful educational experience for both adults and kids and an opportunity to contribute to an important cause.

Nice people, great cause and Carine for the animals !
