Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary Day Tour with Meal & Transfers

a fantastic day out. the guide was very knowledgeable and has been working at the sanctuary for a long time. the animals look very well looked after and their living conditions are clean and big. the deerland park was also a great addition. who knew deer loved potatoes so much. there's also a petting zoo section and again all of the animals looked so well cared for. Batu caves was eh. it's a bunch of stairs to a temple.... just like every other temple ever... this one is just colourful. great communication from the transport company too. we were a tiny group of 4 (my mum and I being 2 of that 4).

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE!! I don't speak English, but from my transportation guide RAMACHANDRAN to my sanctuary guide, they were always very kind and attentive, making sure my experience was unforgettable. Getting to know elephants was my dream and this sanctuary exceeded all my expectations!! Thank you very much for all the love and attention. The transportation was very comfortable, good food.

It was a very fulfilling day. Everything went as scheduled. Transport very on time. We enjoyed seen the elephants where we fed and pet them. We then went to Deerland where we fed deers and pet pythons! Deerland was a surprise as it wasn't mentioned in our itinerary.. From there, we quickly stopped at Batu Caves, then chance of bus, we went to see the lighthouse in Selangor, the monkeys, then seafood dinner on the river and cruise to see the fireflies, soo many experiences all in one day. Highly recommend.

The morning itinerary was only for the two of us in a chartered car. It took about 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to the small animal area where you can take photos with snakes (stay for half an hour). Then it took about 5 minutes to drive to the elephant conservation area, where there was a dedicated tour guide. You will be introduced to the elephants in the park and taught how to feed them. It is a very educational place. After having a simple lunch, you will return to the city and first go to Batu Caves (stay for half an hour). Then we changed to a large tour bus. The tour guide was very humorous. We drove for an hour to the lighthouse area. There were many monkeys that you could feed and even let the monkeys stand on your shoulders. It was very exciting. Finally, we went to eat at a riverside seafood restaurant and watch fireflies. A very fulfilling one-day trip, highly recommended!

This is an amazing adventure! What beautiful, intelligent and noble creatures elephants. After the elephants, we went to the park to see deer and other animals, where we spent only 30 minutes. In a convenient van returned to the capital. There we were picked up by another bus, which went to fireflies. In this journey we were accompanied by a wonderful guide (unfortunately, forgot his name). With humor and kindness he told interesting facts. The Thai seafood dinner in the scenic area was delicious. When it got dark, we took the boat to the fireflies. On the way we looked to the sleeping flamingos. We could touch fireflies and just enjoy the atmosphere. I recommend this rich excursion!

Coming to see the elephants was one of the nicest nature experience I had. The tour was full of valuable information and kept to the schedule. Thank you Charlie!

I thought it was a group tour, but it turned out to be a private tour. After going to the elephant conservation center, you can choose to purchase a guided tour (you can also help the elephants take a bath when you meet a good guide). If you don’t have much interest in deer, chickens and ducks, you can skip the party in the deer park and save some time to stay in Batu Caves (climbing the stairs is really tiring, but the scenery above is quite beautiful). Finally, we ended with a tour of fireflies. The fireflies that are visible to the naked eye are not bright, but they are better than many. Unfortunately, it is a pity that it is difficult to take pictures with mobile phones. If you have enough time in Kuala Lumpur, I still recommend this itinerary.

we had a wonderful day with Mr Rama! Mr Rama was on time for pickup in a modern, clean and luxury air conditioned van. We enjoyed a trip to Batu Caves, Deerland and the Kuala Elephant sanctuary. Mr Rama was friendly and very knowledgable and we learnt alot. Our Elephant guide was also lovely and we had a great trip. Highly recommend this trip and Ivy Tours.

THE EXPERIENCE WAS A DREAM!!! In just one day, we managed to see many special things in Malaysia, accompanied by very punctual, well-organized, genuinely friendly, and cordial drivers who were super prepared to tell us about Malaysian culture (A big thank you to Charlie and Ramah, with an honorable mention for UK, whose kindness and cheerfulness made our trip carefree). The itinerary was truly full and well-prepared, giving us just the right amount of time to enjoy each stop and activity; starting with the Batu Caves, the incredible elephant sanctuary, Deerland Park, the silver leaf monkeys, and then concluding with the fireflies and the breathtaking blue tears. All entrance tickets, guides, lunch, and dinner (delicious and plentiful) were included in the paid tour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

The morning activity was a private 1-on-2 tour, and our guide, Steven, was very dedicated, introducing us to the local customs and culture of Malaysia along the way. Our first stop was the Deerland Park in Lanchang, Pahang, where we could observe and feed the deer up close, and even directly touch snakes, hedgehogs, and rabbits. At the Elephant Conservation Center, the guide arranged for another professional guide to give us an explanation, and here we could buy food to feed the elephants. I think this place is very educational for the public, and the viewing activities and performances are a good way to raise public awareness of elephant protection. After visiting the Batu Caves, we had to switch to joining a large group for the afternoon itinerary. This guide was also very friendly and proactively offered to take photos for us. Due to factors such as the tide, the blue tears on the sea were not very obvious that day, and we could only see a faint glow, which was the only regrettable part of the whole trip. But all in all, we still had a very fulfilling day and highly recommend this activity.
