Half-day elephant sanctuary visit in Phuket



Step into the world of elephants in Thailand on this two-hour tour to an elephant sanctuary. You'll begin your day with a welcome drink and an introduction to the history of domestic elephants in Thai culture, Plus, you'll learn about the sanctuary's main principles – it's built on a foundation of respect for these gentle giants.

At the sanctuary, the aim is to provide the elephants with a life as close to their natural habitats as possible. You'll catch a glimpse of their day-to-day lives, getting involved with their care by preparing some healthy snacks for them – this part of the tour is about connecting with the elephants in a respectful way.

Then, you'll get to see the elephants in their element. Join them for a peaceful walk as they roam freely.
