Zážitok v rezervácii slonov v skrytom lese na Phukete

one of the few places you should go if you want to see elephants and actually care about them ! the whole experience is so cute and worth every penny. they truly care about giving these rescued elephants a good retirement and don't force them to do anything! never partake in bathing as it is abusive to the elephants. at the end they feed you a really delicious meal buffet and you get to sit in this cute area and watch the elephants swim on their own if they want to and it's not forced. it's a beautiful space and they teach you the background of each elephant. the pickup was easy and nice and air-conditioned and they were easy to talk to on what's app.

强烈建议每一个热爱动物的人来普吉岛都来看看隐秘丛林大象营地，这里没有动物表演，骑乘，只有大象最自然的状态与每日限流一组人的安静的观看。 不光是大象，每一个园区里的动物都能感受到它们生活在其中的快乐与安逸，喜欢在人群中凑热闹的大鹅与热情迎接每一位客人大黑狗。能感觉到工作人员对每一个动物的上心。 ​除此之外虽然是免费的素食午饭，却意外的好吃，是值得支持的真正的动物保护营地。

we experienced the sanctuary today and had a wonderful experience, seeing and feeding the elephants up close and watching them naturally move around. The buffet was nice and the kids enjoyed the food. it was a nice chilled experience well worth the look.

the only actually ethical elephant experience. This should be the only way to interact with elephants. it's a magical and peaceful experience where your can learn a lot. The buffet meal provided was also delicious and vegetarian

Really lovely experience, very knowledgable and friendly guides, a leisurely and informative morning strolling watching and feeding the elephants! Certainly no bathing or touching the elephants. It's more like a retirement home for their 6 ageing/rescued females. It's great to know there are increasingly more people aware of the harm and stress done to elephants in the tourism industry, and are opting for relatively non-intrusive ways to see them up close. These elephants are very used to humans because of their earlier experience, so can still get close to them which is nice. 旅游业对大象造成的伤害非常严重，希望更多人可以选择这种方式去近距离接触大象，不要给他们洗澡，更不要去骑，可以网上搜搜那些大象是如何被驯服的。和大象洗澡其实很不卫生，尤其不要带孩子。这个地方的6头年长母象是从旅游业/伐木业买来的，相当于大象养老院！可以看到她们在接近自然的栖息地活动互动，可喂食但不鼓励触摸大象。讲解是英文的（也有芬兰语哈哈）语言不过关不太建议来，好像没有会讲中文的工作人员，听不懂无法沟通会少很多乐趣。要自带水杯，拒绝一次性塑料瓶，午餐简单好吃。

I made sure to do extra research in order to find a place that was truly ethical in Phuket and came across Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve, who only offer feeding and observation activities. Elephants here are extremely well looked after by the staff & mahouts 24/7 and the tour focused on observing these elephant’s behaviour with little to no interference from visitors! Elephants were never forced to do anything they didnt want to do and the lunch provided was delicious also! Highly recommend for people wanting to see Elephants in Phuket in an ethical way

wonderful educational experience for both adults and kids and an opportunity to contribute to an important cause.

Wow, I was never touched like this before! This was the best trip I ever took during a vacation ✨ Huge thank you for all the work they do to keep the elephants save and by being the only ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket!! I learned so much and will never forget this special memory, gonna recommend this to my family and friends and would love to come back one day ❤️‍🩹

Nice people, great cause and Carine for the animals !
