The guide spoke clear English, it was educational, fun and most importantly they care so much for the elephants. It was an amazing experience. Our group had people from all ages and it worked well for all.

A very beautiful experience at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket! 🐘 We really enjoyed the time spent with the elephants, especially the feeding, showering, and bathing. The experience was pleasant and well-organized, and the guides were friendly and helpful. An original activity to do in Phuket, especially to discover elephants in a natural setting. I highly recommend it!

The most fun part was mixing the elephants' food and feeding them. My husband and I loved every minute of it—it was a great excursion, with a fantastic guide who was so kind. It was definitely a must-do.

The elephants are beautiful animals. Annie and Noon did a fantastic job explaining how they take care of them and facts about them. The day starts with feeding them. Mud bath, swimming with them, and finally showering them. It is then followed up with a cooking class that taught my wife how to make pad Thai. That is added to a buffet of Thai food for lunch, which was absolutely fantastic. Would definitely recommend. It would not feel like a vacation to Thailand without seeing the elephants. One of the elephants even followed us to say goodbye.
