This was the highlight of our trip in Samui. Everyone at the facility are so passionate about taking good care of the elephants. We had a great time. The video recap of the day was such a nice touch. Be prepared for a long ride to the location though. It took us an hour from Bo Phut. Please go and support their cause!!!

If two people sign up, the elephant’s food will be one portion. If one person signs up, the elephant’s food will be one portion (the portions are exactly the same). I think it’s more cost-effective to sign up separately with friends😅

It was a great experience. The tour guide Mr. Yai was very kind and friendly. He also helped our family take photos. Although it rained, we still had a lot of fun. The itinerary was arranged and comfortable.

We are a family from Sweden with two young kids, travelling some of the world. We are so tired of how animals are treated in so many places, and that people use animals to attract visitors without considering the animal welfare. Therefore we no longer want to visit regular zoos, aquariums etc. Instead we pick places where animals are taken care of. This is one of those places! This is an elephant sanctuary with a very dedicated owner that really looks to the best of the elephants. Today seven elephants have found a new home here after having been badly treated at circuses and other places. They here have a large area where they can roam free and plenty of food. In addition to all the food that jungle itself offers, the sanctuary has this activity where visitors can assist in making vitamin bombs for the elephants to improve their health further. We recommend to also bring some cash to buy a souvenir or two here to further help the sanctuary after the activity. Warmly thanks to the owner and staff for everything you do for the elephants!! We highly recommend this tour. It was also a hassle free booking through Klook, and easy to redeem the vouchers. The activity also includes pick up and drop off. As we arrived by a cruise ship they picked us up at the harbour. Much appreciated!! Highly recommended! 🐘

I highly recommend this half-day tour of Koh Samui⭐️ It's great because you can see all the must-see points in a reasonable amount of time~ The air-conditioned van is cool, and they provide water and wet tissues! If it's your first time in Koh Samui, give it a try~~
