Freedom Elephant Reserve's 90 minutes experience start's with feeding to help create a bond between you and your new friends. Guests are given a basket of fruit each to take to the feed station, where they will watch the elephants eat at their own pace as they use their trunks to guide their food into their mouths. Whilst the elephants eat and you enjoy your time with them, our guides will tell you all about their individual stories. You can photograph and watch the elephants at your leisure while you learn about their lifestyle and behaviors. After the feeding is over and you have been introduced to all the elephants, you will walk along with the elephants to the mud spa. It’s time to cover their bodies in mud. This is where they will rub themselves against the mud wall to rub off parasites and exfoliate to remove any dead skin. Next, they will head over to the river. This is where you will observe them wade through the water as they splash, play, and cool themselves down.

Robert_S, Apr 2026

Wonderful Tour by Excellent Guide and Driver

Gree (tour guide) and Chai (driver) gave us a memorable tour of Phuket. Gree was professional, personable and knowledgeable. He took pictures of us throughout the day so we can relive those memories. Besides the beautiful sites, we had a good experience at the cashew and gem stops.

Definitely Recommended

Amazing experience with Minnie as our guide. She had answers to our million questions. The passion to care for the elephants is obvious. All the facilities were great and lunch was delicious. We were well taken care of throughout the trip, including our transfer from the resort and back. Kids loved it, parents too.

Great Day in Phuket

Our guide, Mr. Soon, was prompt and courteous. He gave us his recommendations about what to see and do, and were not disappointed. He offered a stop at the Tiger Park on the way up to the Big Buddha, and we really enjoyed our encounters with the tigers. All in all, a great day in Phuket.

Great experience

The park was a fun experience. The games were definitely for kids, but adults could play them also. The parade, show and festival of lights were very nice. If you aren't interested in the all you can eat buffet there is a sit down restaurant option, or eat before and get there when the parade starts and stay for the show

Best Tour!

We had such a great day on this tour honestly everything just felt easy from the start. The driver picked us up right at our hotel on time and we didn’t have to think about anything. Our guide Rainy made the whole experience. She’s so kind and funny and just easy to be around. It didn’t feel like a typical tour at all. We started with local snacks like A Pong pancakes and other traditional food and then walked through Old Phuket Town. Rainy explained everything in a way that actually made sense and kept it interesting without overdoing it. Lunch at Mee Ton Poe was really good and she helped us pick what to try which made it even better. The elephant sanctuary was one of the best parts. We got to feed the elephants and learn about them and it felt really genuine not rushed or staged. We also went to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha and the whole day just flowed really well nothing felt stressful or forced. What really stood out was how much Rainy cared. She was taking photos of us all day checking in on us making sure we were comfortable and just keeping everything fun. There were four of us and by the end we felt like we actually got to know her. Her English is really good which made everything easy and you can tell she really knows her history and the area. I would 100 percent recommend this to anyone coming to Thailand especially if you’re from Canada and want to feel comfortable right away. If you can ask for Rainy she honestly made the whole experience! 10000% recommend!

Half-Day Countryside Cycling Small-group Tour in Phuket

Paul_L, Mar 2026

A different side of Phuket

Great trip. Really well organised, from pick up to drop off. Good bikes. Rode through a variety of countryside, including some wonderful jungle, almost all of it on flat roads and trails - easy riding. Lots of snacks, drinks stops, including a small village shop where we got to try loads of local stuff from the shelves. Our guide, Lee, was very informative. All ended with a very nice lunch looking over the water. Top day out.

Half day with Elephants at Patong Elephant Hug （No ride No trick）

Cindy_L, Feb 2026

Morning with gentle giants

Very cool hidden gem in the Patong hillside. Elephants ranging from 4 years old to 61 years old. We got to make their vitamin balls and feed them, take photos, drank some elephant dung coffee, see how elephant dung paper is made, paint mud on the elephants and hose them off. Lunch was served after. Lockers, disposable towel, shower and restroom facilities were all readily available and well stocked. Overall it was a fun and informative experience with the beautiful animals. Patong Elephant Hug gave us a wonderful time!!

So fun! Our tour guide...

So fun! Our tour guide Lucky was amazing and so sweet. Food was yummy and each dish unique. We had a great group of other tourists with us that made the experience even better. Do not do this tour if you’re shy! Lots of downtime to talk and get to know each other walking from location to location and also while eating - but that was the best part!

Phuket Night Street Food Walking Tour

Ethel_D, Nov 2025

Phuket food tour

We got to take our food tour at the food night market, and it was everything and more! Our guide was Among (sp) and he was very delightful. Picked us up from our hotel, took us to a temple and then to a food market. Our tour fell on a weekend so we went to a food night market and we had so many options of food - we definitely enjoyed it! We didn’t have enough space in our stomach to try everything but we enjoyed the night and all the food and culture. Thank you for a wonderful tour.
