CoupleVerified bookingJun 20265/5Absolutely amazing and my favourite part of my trip to Phuket. Being so close to the elephants and being able to spend time with them was truly memorable. I couldn't recommend it enoughJJuan C
SoloVerified bookingMay 20265/5Visiting Phuket Elephant Care was the highlight of my trip. The tour is thoughtfully designed to let you connect with elephants in the most ethical and respectful way. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and explained everything clearly about the elephants’ care and history. 🐘 Feeding the elephants was magical — seeing their personalities shine through as they gently took food from our hands. The mud spa and shower were unforgettable; it’s not every day you get to splash around with such majestic animals while knowing you’re helping them stay cool and healthy.JJustin G

FamilyVerified bookingJan 20265/5I loved to be so close to the elephants !FFualdes E
GroupVerified bookingJan 20265/5A wonderful moment of sharing. The keepers are really friendly. The elephants enjoy it and are not forced. Obviously, these are animals rescued from circuses or forced labor, so they are used to humans, but you can see that they are happy.
