  • Meet the elephants in their natural habitat

    Your half-day adventure at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary starts with a pick-up from your Phuket accommodation. Upon arrival, your English-speaking guide will introduce you to the sanctuary's mission and the elephants. As you walk through the lush jungle, you'll feed the elephants bananas and sugar cane, learning about their individual stories and behaviors allowing you to connect with these gentle giants in a safe and ethical environment.

    Mud spa and bathing with elephants

    Continue with a therapeutic mud spa session, where you’ll cover the elephants in a natural mud treatment that cools and protects their skin. Next, join them in a nearby pool for a refreshing bath, helping to brush and bathe them. This hands-on activity is guided by expert handlers, ensuring safety and comfort for all.

    Enjoy a traditional Thai buffet

    After the activities, freshen up in the shower facilities before enjoying a traditional Thai buffet with local dishes and seasonal fruits. Reflect on the memorable interactions as you dine. The tour wraps up with a warm goodbye to the elephants before your return drop-off, leaving you with cherished memories of your visit.
