We went with our 10 and 4 years old sons. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience especially for the kids. The rescued elephants are well looked after in there. It was good value for money. We fed and bathed the elephants. We also did Thai dye and prepared papaya salad. Highly recommended for families with kids. Better to go on a cloudy day as the elephants prefer cooler day.

It was a really good and well-organized tour. They picked us up at the hotel lobby on time and the tour proceeded according to the schedule. Our guide, Ken, led the entire tour in a friendly and fun way, and the rest of the staff were also very friendly. The boat ride was a bit long, but once we arrived and started snorkeling, it was so beautiful that we forgot all about it. In particular, the last island we visited, Koh Phangan? I really liked it! It was so beautiful that I regretted that the time was a bit short. Lunch was not great, but it was still delicious. Chicken curry, shrimp tempura, and pineapple were served. It was fun to eat because it felt like Thai home cooking. I highly recommend this tour as a must-do in Koh Samui!

My sister and I had the most wonderful time on this tour and would highly recommend it. The staff on the boat were very attentive to everyone’s needs. The ride over was very choppy and the ride back we got rained on. But we still had a great time at the marine national park and the staff made us feel safe and cared for. It was the little touches of stopping the boat to make sure we were okay, handing out plastic bags to cover our stuff in the rain, moving guests to make them more comfortable, helping us on and off the boat and cleaning our feet before we got in. They also had us at the different locations before the bigger tours came in so we got to have a more private and peaceful experience in each spot. There’s so many tours to choose from and I couldn’t recommend this one more.

This was such a well-rounded and wholesome trip, even with the unexpected rain. Everything was well-structured, and the staff were incredibly friendly and supportive. I was nervous about snorkeling since I was traveling alone, but one of the guides reassured me by saying, "I’ll be watching you," and he really was—every time I looked up, he was there. That level of care made all the difference. They even offered to take pictures for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The whole experience felt safe, beautiful, and filled with genuine human connection. I left with wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for the people who made it special.
