Half-day elephant experience from Khao Lak

Felt very safe and looked after on tour just there was a mixup with my collection point. But helpful rep Enzo helped me to get on the tour

We purchased this trip to bath elephants a year ago at the same time as booking holiday. Due to policy change at the elephant sanctuary they no longer allow you to bath elephants. This information was not passed on to us by Tui who happily took our money and forgot about us. Also the guide was one hour late picking us up and did not communicate this to us. We would have chosen a different sanctuary had we known the experience. Our children were disappointed because of expectations not being met.

The guide was so informative a great experience

This still was fantastic. From the minute we were picked up until we were dropped off the guide was very informative and explained everything effectively. The elephants themselves were outstanding. We really enjoyed making and feeding them there food. The whole experience couldn't have been better. The only thing problem was the large number of steep steps we had to climb down, about 100 in total. This trip is not suitable for people with mobility issues.

The work the staff do at this sanctuary is incredible! Our guide was very informative and funny. We got to make the elephants food, feed them, and even walked with them. After the sanctuary, we stopped for food at a lovely restaurant which was absolutely delicious! Not the usual buffet stuff, but a small variety of Thai dishes. After we had a foot spa where our host told us about the flowers and plants used for the spa. It was a morning tour so we got back to our hotel around midday.
