Overview

During this inspiring, interactive and informative experience, you will spend many up-close moments with 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 and most 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.

    The sanctuary is beautiful and peaceful with happy and well loved elephants who were rescued. It was a great time feeding the elephants, making their meals, and also very educational. The elephants don’t look stressed and are happy souls there. The meals they provided were excellent! It really is a humane sanctuary for elephants!

    The sanctuary was hot, sticky and magnificent. The elephants—old and disabled—are well cared for. There is a carer for every animal and these regal beasts are free to roam the sanctuary with their best friend. Visitors are numerous but the sanctuary is big enough to accommodate the tourists. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable. It was an honour to spend a day at the sanctuary—gathering fresh bamboo shoots, making dietary supplements, feeding the elephants, and observing these magnificent animals. Add this day to your Phuket stay. It's worth every bahrt.

    My husband and I were absolutely blown away by Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, our full day experience will be a core memory of mine for the rest of our life. The sanctuary itself is beautiful and well looked after and all staff members and volunteers are joyful to be around. I was incredibly happy to purchase this experience and help fund the sanctuary into buying more elephants out of the mainstream abusive tourism trade which is throughout Phuket. If you are in Phuket, this is a must do experience!

    100% what they say they are! No riding, no bathing and happy elephants doing what they choose to do! We had a whole day there and found it great value for the price. Our guide was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic and the whole staff were very friendly. The food was very good! I can't recommend it highly enough!

    A memorable day which was bitter-sweet. The organisation from the pick-up at my hotel to the sanctuary was very organised. My day was a bit 'stretched out', I felt I spent time sitting & waiting. The introduction informative video was very emotional, I couldn't watch it but I could hear the commentary 😢 💔 😞 Learning about each elephant throughout the day was very heart-warming, my guide Rita, certainly knows her role & clearly loves the elephants. The sanctuary is a wonderful place for these special animals who deserve all the love, care & attention they fully deserve.
