It’s quite difficult to find a decent, genuinely ethically ran elephant sanctuary these days but after much searching, Joy is the real deal. Hotel pick up was swift and on time and once there the guides were clear and professional. The elephants were not forced to interact with us. They had their designated snack time (they are fed regular meals by their keepers) which we gave them, and we were invited to walk with them afterwards, several metre distance, no touching. Afterwards we could clean off in the sanctuary’s stream, the elephants were not made to come, but they are given free reign to come and go as they please, and they came. It was a wonderful sight. The rafting add on was well worth it, and we were lucky enough to do so in a storm! The torrential rain added to the atmosphere. (I’ll add that the guides ensured that the route was safe first before sending us down!)

A truly unforgettable experience! Our guide, Peter, was friendly and talkative. Since I was traveling alone, he was also very thoughtful and helped me take photos. My fellow travelers were also very friendly, which added a lot of fun to the trip. I initially thought the mountain fire would obscure the views, but the outcome was quite a pleasant surprise!

Great experience with elephants. Started off with an initial briefing, then feeding the elephants, then small hike parallel with the elephants up & down the mountain to a river stream where we bathe in cold fresh water. We were given lunch. Post lunch we prepared local thai inhaler, examined the elephant, prepared and food special digestive food for the elephants and finally planted banana trees. The guide and team were very nice and professional. Highly recommended

I feel very lucky to have P'Mint as our tour guide. He speaks great English, is knowledgeable, and has a good sense of humor, too. The tour gave us enough time to explore each destination and take good photos. I recommend this tour company and get P'Mint as a tour guide if you can.
