Great day out
Great hike, just challenging enough without being overbearing. Our tour guide Lee was the best, we could see the pride and passion he has in his job, with superb knowledge of the various plant and animal species. The food in the restaurant was authentic and delicious. All Highly recommend.

Truly Ethical Elephant Experience 🐘🌱
We had an amazing experience at the Hidden Forest! We did a lot of research trying to find an actual ethical hands-off and elephant first experience in Thailand. Upon arriving it was clear that the organisation and staff were extremely anti unethical tourist experiences, this included no touching, no bathing, no riding or any other performance.
We started off with a presentation where they explained the dark side of elephant tourism along with explaining all the elephants at the reserve and their names, personalities and backgrounds.
After this we went down to feed the elephants in a small group, which was the only interactive and natural part of the tour. We then went onto observe the elephants whilst they travelled uphill to continue feeding, before finally observing them from a raised viewing area where they bathed, and whilst we ate a vegan Thai lunch that was homemade by the staff.
We would definitely recommend this tour, you can tell the elephants are loved by the staff after their heartbreaking past treatment from their previous owners.

Truly Memorable Island Adventure
A fantastic day all around. This was a truly memorable experience with BJ Canoeing. If you had one day for a boat trip from Phuket, this would be the one to do! We did the speed boat option for the James Bond and Canoeing trip, with the tour run with absolute professionalism from start to finish. Every stop was incredible, with interactive experiences exploring sea caves, hidden mangrove grotto’s and canoeing through stunning tropical islands. Shout out to the crew and Ibrahim for the great info, humour and pacing throughout the day, thank you for a wonderful day.

We had a great time on...
We had a great time on this trip! The itinerary was different because of weather and tides, but we still had a great time. Dinner was great with a variety of Thai food and some western options. I would recommend bringing clothes to cover yourself for the dinner. It's a Muslim village and bathing suits and tank tops wouldn't be appropriate.

Fantastic Ethical Sanctuary
Came here today for my 30th birthday whilst out in Thailand. We came at the 10am slot which I think was perfect for the heat!
Beautiful Ethical Sanctuary, you can see the elephants roaming freely around from above. Oum our guide was lovely and really informative. The refreshing drink and elephant gift at the end was also really nice. Would highly recommend!

Great Learning Experience
The Grab driver had a difficult time navigating the dirt road up to the entrance, but everything else was great. It was very interesting learning about what constituted abuse of elephants. It was fun to feed and learn about each elephant. It was a nice learning experience.

Best Tour Ever
Would definitely recommend this tour as your last fay of your trip! It was very relaxing and the views are so pretty, especially the sunset.The food was amazing and all the guides are so kind and helpful! Our guide, Jea, is amazing at taking photos and caught us a Bioluminescent Plankton to see up close. At the end of the tour, they provided everyone with our own picture with a really cute picture frame to buy. 10/10

Brilliant trip
One of the best elephant tours I've had the pleasure of. You get to walk amongst these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the elephants appeared happy and well cared for. Feeding time wasn't rushed with plenty of time to feed them and wow do they like to eat.
Would definitely recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Adventure - The Best Way to See Phuket!
If you’re looking for a mix of adrenaline, stunning scenery, and top-tier hospitality, look no further. We booked the 2-hour ATV tour, and it was easily the highlight of our trip!
🏔️ The Highlights
* The Big Buddha: We were lucky it was open during our visit. The guides were incredibly generous with the time they allowed us to explore this iconic landmark, ensuring we didn't feel rushed at all.
* The "Edge Swing": A total surprise! This swing offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire island—a perfect hidden gem of the tour.
* The Course: It was a "proper" ATV trail—challenging enough to be thrilling but safe enough to be pure fun.
📸 Content Creator’s Dream
The guides are absolute pros when it comes to photography. They knew all the perfect vantage points and, to our surprise, proactively used our phones to take high-quality videos of us while we were riding. Having those action shots to look back on is priceless!
🛠️ Exceptional Service & Small Details
What sets this tour apart is the staff. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly proactive. We were really impressed by the attention to detail:
* Dust Control: They intermittently watered down the tracks to keep the dust at bay.
* Gear & Hydration: They provided face masks and kept us supplied with plenty of cold water throughout the heat.
* Flexibility: With multiple start times and duration options, it fits any schedule.
* Pro Tip: We went for the full 2-hour option, which actually ran a bit longer because of the extra time at the Big Buddha. It is well worth the money for the full experience.
Bonus: this tour includes pick up from where you’re staying. Make sure to select your pick up point upon booking. Book well in advance and if your place isn’t listed on the list of pick up points, pick one nearest yours, message the tour company via the Viator app and give them a google link of where you’re staying. They will happily accommodate you, which is a huge convenience. Then, upon completion of the tour, you may request to be dropped off elsewhere (like another beach, another POI in the island) instead of back to your hotel/Airbnb/villa, etc) and they’ll happily accommodate this too. We selected the 0900 start of the tour and finished by 1200 noon, which gave us the rest of the day to explore more of Phuket at our own pace. So instead of taking us back to where we were picked up, we asked to be dropped off at Patong Beach for a nice lunch, then parasailing and jetski amongst other beach side fun activities. (Saved us from having to book Grab).
A huge thank you to our guides for being so attentive and making us feel safe while ensuring we had a blast. Highly recommended!

Would Go Again, 100%
Me and a friend (25 y/o women, from USA) LOVED the experience. From other reviews, we were worried about feeling rushed or too crowded, but did not experience either! Our boat was full, but we never felt the boat or beaches were overcrowded. Both snorkeling spots were filled with great fish. Our tour guides and boat crew were helpful, funny, and outstanding overall; they even gave us water, juice, lots of fresh fruit, and even ice cream throughout the day - go Linda and Mr. Saxchsy!

Fun ATV experience with spectacular views of Phuket from the big Buddha monument
This tour was a combination of ATV riding and a bus trip to the big Buddha monument. We spent a couple of hours with a guide riding around trails at a recreation park. A lot of the trails were shaded, which was good because the weather was very hot. There is not a lot of safety instruction, but the guide kept his eye on us, and we did just fine. The big Buddha monument was absolutely gorgeous. Women are required to cover their shoulders, so bring a scarf, even if it is hot. You are able to walk around the big Buddha, and enjoy the views from a high point on the island of Phuket. We would definitely do this again!

Fantastic Day exploring the islands
A fun and fantastic tours of some of the Phi Phi islands. The staff were friendly, attentive and absolutely made the day such a happy one. We had Timmy who was an absolute fantastic host! The staff knew exactly how to time the day and keep us safe, gave us tips on what to do at each place and always communicated the plan. Plenty of food and drinks were provided throughout the day. Just wish there were more hours in the day to spend more time at each place.
