Experiência na Reserva Natural de Elefantes de Phuket

This was such an amazing experience! ❤️❤️ I loved the guides and how kind they all were. The elephants, what can you say? They are beautiful and I'm so happy they are saved. I'm so happy it's an actual ethical reserve! This place was incredible and I would definitely go back!

The sanctuary is vast, amongst lush greenery. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. I appreciate that they don’t allow touching or bathing of the elephants, prioritising the safety of the visitors, as well as the elephants’ welfare. You get to see the elephants in their element, as they roam freely. Our guide was also warm and knowledgable. Loved every minute of it!

The half-day I spent at the elephant sanctuary was truly wonderful. When choosing among many sanctuaries, I opted for one that didn't involve direct contact activities like feeding or bathing, as I believed unfamiliar human touch could stress the elephants. Instead, I enjoyed the meal preparation activity, and while it was a bit sad to hear their stories when meeting the elephants, I was relieved to know they are now living healthy lives!

experience: Very enjoyable experience - super ethical, no touching or bathing with the elephants, just observing them and helping to prepare food for them. At the end we cooked some Pad Thai and Tom yum for lunch. instructor: Our guide Mr. Daeng was super knowledgable and funny also ☆ Highly recommend.

It was fun making and giving food, and I could feel the facility's genuine dedication to protecting the elephants.

Un santuario de elefantes muy educativo y ético, un buen recorrido para entender este lugar y a los elefantes.

An absolutely unforgettable experience at Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve. What sets this sanctuary apart is its genuinely ethical approach — no riding, no bathing, no touching, just respectful observation of rescued elephants living as elephants should. That hands-off philosophy was exactly why I chose it, and it made the experience even more meaningful. The guides were passionate and educational, sharing each elephant’s story with so much care, and you can feel the sanctuary puts welfare above tourism. Watching these majestic animals roam freely in a natural environment was humbling and beautiful. If you want an authentic, responsible elephant experience in Phuket, this is the place. Amazing, ethical, and deeply moving.

We attended the 90-minute experience and it was honestly great. It’s so refreshing to see elephants not being forced to do anything and genuinely living in harmony. I found this a much nicer experience just watching them instead of interfering with them. You still got up close with each of the elephants and it was so lovely. Highly recommend this if you are wanting to see elephants without exploiting them.

It was a good experience with educational elements for young and old. The elephants were well taken care of and the children thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

Lovely sanctuary, very educational and seems quite ethical. There was no elephant riding, scrubbing, etc. The elephants are rescued from touristy places and living with elephant caretakers. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
