Absolutely 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 enough

Visiting 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.

Meet rescued elephants at Phuket Elephant Care, starting with a warm welcome of coffee, tea, and light snacks, followed by feeding them fresh seasonal fruits with an English-speaking guide by your side.

This experience combines elephant care with Thai culture through cooking class and crafts, making it an ideal short, small-group tour in Phuket.

Make your visit even more memorable by upgrading for a fun mud spa session with elephants, shower session, a traditional Thai lunch and optional hotel transfers.

A 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.
