Kuala Lumpur Half-Day Private Elephant Sanctuary & Batu Caves Tour

Our driver is Wilson. He is very friendly and kind. We are a family of 2 adults and 1 child. We visited all the itineraries during the whole trip. One of the kids wanted to experience Batik at the last minute, so we cancelled the deer park trip in exchange. Thanks Wilson for helping us order lunch at Kuala Gandah. We were able to feed the elephants and watch the elephant washing process. He also rushed on the way back so that we could get back to the hotel at just the right time. Thanks Wilson 😃

Our tour guide named Nity was amazing! She reached out to us via Whatsapp, the night before the scheduled tour to confirm pick up time & place. She arrived at the pick up point on-time. She's friendly, very lively, and made the trip memorable. She explains everything well, from history to current trends. She accommodated us well when we asked her to tweak our schedule a bit. She was even kind enough to let us stop over a local store to buy local products, even if it was not in the itinerary (but was on the way home). Also, she takes nice pictures. Definitely a must book!

We had a great time yesterday! Wilson, our tour guide, contacted us a day before, and picked us up on time at our hotel. We were at Batu Caves, before it became too crowded. The second stop was at the Deer farm. Our son love to see the animals! The elephant tour was awesome and we took a guided tour there to see and experience elephant from up close.

The elephant sanctuary and Batu caves were fantastic and well worth visiting. The Deer park, however, was quite the opposite. The animals are in small enclosures and some of them are clearly distressed. It was a real come-down after having enjoyed the elephant sanctuary. What's more, we opted for a private tour but the guide drove very, very fast, in some places driving around rather sharps bends on the wrong side of the road without being able to see if there was any oncoming traffic. My friend reacted to this by showing he was nervous, to the which the driver responded 'Trust me.' He also changed up the order of the itinerary as he didn't know what the weather was going to do and wanted us to visit the sanctuary while it wasn't raining. This wouldn't have been an issue, but he arranged to meet us 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time and, coupled with his fast driving, this meant we got to the elephant sanctuary at 9:45. However, it didn't open until 10:30 (the guide thought it opened at 9:30), so we had to wait around for 45 minutes in a place where there is very little to do or see. Overall, we enjoyed the trip but would recommend avoiding the deer park, and just beware that the guide allocated is pot luck!

Nathan, our private tour guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was also patient with my two-year-old son and helped us a lot. Overall, I enjoyed the tour so much!

Nitty took great care of us and was an awesome tour guide. The elephant sanctuary was a highlight of our trip to KL. Would highly recommend!

Our driver was Nelson. We contacted the supplier via WhatsApp the day before around noon, and didn't receive confirmation and contact from the driver regarding the pickup until the evening. On the day of the tour, the driver arrived promptly at 9:00 AM. We first went to the Batik factory and then to the Elephant Conservation Center, arriving just in time for the 11:15 AM morning session. There was free sugarcane available to feed the elephants. Afterwards, we had lunch at the Elephant Conservation Center's semi-outdoor cafe (mixed vegetable fried rice, curry fried chicken, clear soup, and bottled water). After lunch, we went to the Deer Park, where there were free potatoes to feed the deer. You could also hold snakes and lizards there, and pet rabbits and hamsters. Finally, we went to the Batu Caves, and returned to the hotel before 5:00 PM. (Since we had children with us, we noticed that the driver smoked during breaks, and there was a smell of smoke in the car. If you mind this, it's recommended to note when booking that you would prefer a non-smoking vehicle.)

Easy pick-up, ample time for each attraction, the highlight of the tour were the elephants of course. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeble and described sights that we have seen during drives as well (durian plantations, palm oil groves, rubber trees etc.). Highly recommended.

Navin was a great tour guide. He was kind, accommodating and helpful to our party of two. We will definitely use him again.
