Overview
During this inspiring, interactive and informative experience, you will spend many up-close moments with our rescued elephants, gain in-depth knowledge about their sophisticated means of communication, and learn about their natural habitat and the important role they play as a keystone species in our ecosystem. The program includes joined roundtrip transfers as well as a light breakfast, vegetarian lunch and dinner, and cold drinks and refreshments throughout the day.
Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is the first and most ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket where elephants roam around, bathe and sozialize freely across 30 acres of tropical land bordering the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park in North East Phuket. By visiting us, you are supporting a sustainable, ethical and compassionate approach to elephant tourism where elephants have the freedom to live naturally. National Geographic, Lonely Planet and The Guardian have endorsed our ethical approach.

Reviews
I learned a lot and ate very well. The guides are able to answer all your questions, and know the elephants by names, background, medical conditions, and habits.
I was able to prepare food for them and feed them by hand. The half day tour is very good too ; the difference is that you get closer, for longer, with the day "in the footsteps of giant". You also participate more and take an active role, understanding better what it means to care for elephants.
SO, I really recommand this experience. And if not this one, than the half day one ! Worth every penny, and more, since it all goes to help sustain these elephants' sanctuary (and promotes ethical tourism).
I saw nothing but kindness and professionalism in how the sanctuary was run and the care shown to the animals.
The property is breathtaking, just sitting while you enjoy a fresh juice would almost be enough but noooooo YOU GET TO SEE ELEPHANTS TOO
I love the fact that the "tour" is not really pre-planned. You wander around with a guide and go check out elephants as they wander freely.
Decent food. Won't be top-ten. But it's food. :-)
Overall, a wonderful trek with the elephants.
