It was incredibly fun. You could tell that the tour guides were very knowledgeable about the animals, and safety was also a top priority. The group size was just right, not too big. Everything was explained very well, and all our questions were answered. The price-performance ratio was also excellent. A truly unique experience that everyone should try at least once.

Unforgettable Elephant Sanctuary Experience – T is the Best Guide Ever! Our visit to the elephant sanctuary was hands down the absolute highlight of our week-long trip to Thailand! A huge special thanks to our guide, T, who made this experience so extraordinary. T was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the entire activity. T took great care in explaining the background and unique personalities of each elephant, ensuring we interacted with them safely and respectfully. We are especially grateful to T for capturing so many fantastic photos and videos for us! Thanks to T's keen eye and patience, we walked away with priceless memories and moments captured on camera. T’s enthusiasm and attentive care truly made our day magical. This is a MUST-DO experience in Thailand, and we cannot recommend guide T highly enough!

We had so much fun! I would strongly recommend this trip. Mr. K was our driver and guide for the trip. He is one of the highlights of the day. He guided us to the origin of the sticky waterfall. Then, we had lunch and headed to Zipline and ATV. This was the best activity I had in Chiang Mai. Thanks, Mr. K.

The whitewater rafting was thrilling; I recommend choosing the 10km option. The 6km one is probably less exciting and shorter. If you're joining a group, you'll have to wait for those doing the 10km, and we ended up waiting for almost an hour when we got back, which was a waste of time. The ATV experience was generally good. The food was very mediocre, but in that kind of place, it's good enough to just have something to eat.

An amaIng experience. I booked for the 60 mins ATV which was the best thing ever. I booked the zipline when i was there since i wanted to check it out which i suggest you do, it was beautiful and fun. It was raining that day which made it 10x better on the ATV. The staff were friendly and precise with the safety gears. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This was such a delightful experience. Other tours, including pickup, felt a bit expensive at around 60,000 won, so I chose this one because the price seemed reasonable without pickup. It turned out to be an excellent choice! Each team was assigned a guide who was very kind and explained everything well (it seemed like you could choose between English or Chinese). They said there are 15 elephants living there, and they were all incredibly cute and gentle. At the elephant cafes in the suburbs, the food baskets were small and expensive, but here, I got to feed them plenty and interact with the elephants a lot. I think it will be a lifelong memory! The meal was Chinese, but I thoroughly enjoyed the scrambled eggs, stir-fried meat, and noodles. I definitely plan to revisit this place next time!

The whole trip was a lot of fun. First, we fed the elephants (bananas) and prepared their food ourselves, and then we gave them a bath. Everyone gave the elephants names, and there were no activities like riding them. The final rafting trip was also quite nice; some parts were mildly thrilling, and the staff were great at keeping the energy and mood upbeat. Overall, the experience was wonderful. I also lost my bag and had to trouble the staff, but they were exceptionally patient and helped me find it. I am truly, truly grateful.
