Krabi Elephant Shelter Experience

We booked the 12:00 tour and were picked up directly from our hotel. Once we arrived, the staff assisted us right away and Toen guided our group throughout the visit. We learned a lot about the elephants and their rescue stories while preparing their food. We also got plenty of great photos since our guide had an assistant dedicated to taking pictures of us 😉. I’m not sure if it was just coincidence, but when we got there, there were only a few other visitors, so we had lots of time to feed all six elephants. That’s why I’d recommend choosing the 12:00 slot. We had an amazing experience overall. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Krabi 😍

it was an amazing experience. pick up and drop off was smooth which is a good way to start any activity. being with the elephants so close and feeling their emotions and watching them be playful is truly one for the books 🩷

lovely place, friendly staff who cared for my family and also my child. elephants seemed well cared for. we had welcome drinks- and also after we had soft drinks and mango stuck rice. the pick up was early, and the activity with the elephants were nice.

Excellent! 7 friendly sociable elephants, they are well looked after, treated without cruelty, the staff is friendly, booked on klook with a discount, although the tour description says that the transfer is only from the beach, but we were picked up and brought from the hotel. There is a shower on site, they feed us with fruits, We took the get closer program, we really liked it - they fed us, did mud baths, then bathed us in the river. The program itself is 2 hours

We had a great experience doing the cook and feed option! We were greeted by staff members and offered complimentary tea and coffee. Our guide Feem was amazing, she told us about the elephants in their care and explained why they give certain foods and herbs during our cooking lesson. After feeding the elephants you get to enjoy more complementary drinks and a lovely fruit platter. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The elephant shelter provides transport to and from the facility, which is super handy. The elephants are looked after really well and in great care.

It was a wonderful experience, a mysterious and special time that seemed cut out from everyday life! I was also moved by the fact that the elephants were considerate of people, snuggled up to them, and communicated with them. The staff were very friendly and very service-minded. I was so happy and surprised that I, who participated alone, was able to take so many photos on my smartphone. I was able to interact with all six elephants. I will definitely come here again when I go to Krabi! Thank you for the best memories!

It was an amazing experience. We went with our 5 years old son and he loved every bit of it. There was a time when we still giving bath to the elephants and my son wanted to go out as he started shivering. The guide from this shelter said he will look after him on behalf. when we went back, we saw him drying my sons hair and entertaining him to stop the shivering. what a kind soul seriously. 5 star for the experience, services and the staffs who were so nice throughout our session ❤️. They also had professional photographer to snap our pictures around the session which was then emailed to us. Loved how the pictured turned out to be 😍

Amazing activity! Place was clean, elephants look healthy. Communication was easy, even after we left. I texted to ask for the elephants names and they quickly responded. The place was about 15 min ride on a truck tuk-tuk (from Aonang). They helped us take our pics with our phones. The making of food was interesting and the feeding part was a little scary at first but so cool! Definitely recommended to visit.

First time feeding elephants and being up close to them. It was surreal and a very interesting experience that was so seamless from pick up at the hotel to drop off. The Coconut water was a added bonus to end the day💚

it was really fun, educating and sweet encounter with the elephants. staff were all accomodating and well organized. we’ll definitely come back again soon.
