    Full description

    Join a guided tour of Koh Samui Elephant Home to see rescued Thai elephants in a safe and ethical environment. Help to contribute to the program's conservation efforts and walk, feed, and play with the elephants. Hotel pickup and drop-off and lunch are included.

    Start your day with a pickup from your hotel or villa around the island arriving at Koh Samui Elephant Home. Meet with your guide who will offer a warm welcome and receive a welcome drink. Listen as your guide explains to you the plight of the center, and how you can help.

    After your introduction, take part in the harvesting of organic food for the elephants and even get to feed them up close. Make sure to bring your camera along for some truly remarkable holiday memories. 

    Afterwards, watch them as they play in the mud spa as they cool themselves down. During your tour, you'll also get to walk with the elephants into the jungle over 10 acres of land. See their real habitat and enjoy a relaxing stroll in nature. 

    Continue on your journey to visit the first elephant nursery on Koh Samui. Have fun whilst you feed them, rub their skin and take photos with them before you set them free to enjoy nature by themselves. 

    To complete your fabulous outing, enjoy some vegetarian food and seasonal fruits whilst you watch a surprise video before being transferred back to your hotel.

      The sanctuary is really treating the animals with lots of respect and love. You could really tell with what they told us and how they introduced us the the elephants. Also the food and transports was really nice including the video taken during the time. Support them anytime !

      I did this tour together with my wife and it was just fantastic! In this elephant sanctuary the elephants are neither chained nor can you ride on them. They can roam the ranch freely without any fences around it. The caretakers did a great job, making this day truly enjoyable. You can clearly see that they do their job at the sanctuary with passion and out of love to the animals. At the end of the day you even get the chance to take a bath together with the elephants and give them a scrub. The team also creates a small video of the day, which you receive per email. 5/5 would definetely recommend it. Keep up the good work guys!

      Absolutely wonderful experience. These people really care and devote their lives to the wellbeing of the elephants. We prepared food for and fed the elephants, trekked with them into the jungle and bathed them. If you’re going to visit elephants in Thailand, please choose a tour like this for an immersive and fun experience. Our hearts were full when we left :)
