Overview
During this inspiring, interactive and informative experience, you will spend many wonderful moments observing 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 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.
