Ethical elephant sanctuary snacks n drinks given !
Ethical elephant sanctuary with hospital . U don’t bathe or feed elephant . They r at their own liberty to walk close or far from u. Snacks on arrival . Great transport n driver if u need. This is a great place to visit to educate kids about animals n yet get a close enough encounter with the giants n not frightened them . Thumbs up for the effort !!!

Lovely leisurely full day
Really good tour . Snacks before tour , organised in groups . Great safety protocol , very well run n efficient time allocation . Yes visited like 3 islands at least but actually , some like James Bond - nothing to see. Caves walk n mudskipper was interesting together with a leisurely canoe ride pedal by the locals . U just watch n walk not much to lift. Dont expect to swim- not much time as well as no place to shower later anyway- water is murky - soaking is good. Water proof bag actually not essential unless u bring valuables swimming else. U don’t even hv to buy anything . Definitely get notes for tips to the canoe pedallers and tour operator . Great shoots to take . Plankton is over rated no fault of theirs bec of the murky water . U won’t want to stay long . Moon light is great. Provide water n coke plus fruits on the way . Thank you ! English speaking definitely

Thailand Phuket elephant
I had such an amazing experience visiting an elephant sanctuary in Phuket, Thailand! 🐘 It was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. The elephants were so gentle, beautiful, and clearly well cared for.
What I loved most was how ethical and respectful the sanctuary was—no riding, no pressure on the animals, just a safe and natural environment where they can roam freely. You really get to see their personalities shine.
Feeding them and being up close was unforgettable. It felt so special to connect with these incredible animals in a way that puts their well-being first. The staff were also super kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do.
If you’re visiting Phuket, I 100% recommend adding this to your list. It’s not just a fun experience—it’s meaningful and something you’ll remember forever 💚🐘

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!

Amazing small group tour
This tour was amazing, definitely worth it to have a small group tour leaving early. It meant we got to all the popular sights before the hoards, for a quieter experience and great photos. Harry the guide and the boat crew were fab and really made the trip. Harry even recommended great spots to take photos and took them for us, Lunch was amazing in a restaurant on one of the islands, the only thing we didn’t like was that it was in a location that had unethical elephant practices at. Would highly recommend this tour.

Best Experience in Phuket
Amazing experience at this rescue and rehabilitation center. Up close and personal with the 6 elephants they have on premise. I thought we would be observing from afar, but they are free roaming. You are just a few feet away while they are being fed. Preparing food for them and then getting to watch them eat it was a true pleasure. And you feel like the care given is quite good. These animals each have their own personality and some are relatively newly to the reserve.

Ethical, Educational and overwhelming experience with the Elephants
The most amazing experience walking with beautiful elephants that have been worked so hard and have now been rescued. Boots and socks provided, umbrellas for heat or rain and a superb vegetarian buffet. This has been highlight of my holiday and would recommend to everyone as a very ethical sanctuary

Great day on the water
Had an absolute blast on this trip. There were only 35 of us on the yacht & we had the best experience ever. Pick up arrived early for us & only 4 of us on our mini bus. Driver was excellent . Had our safety briefing & headed to the pier where we got local buses to where the yacht was waiting,
Crew were most pleasant & helpful which made our experience all the better .
We headed to James Bond island first which was just beautiful (tip - the ladies loos were the worst I’ve ever been in in my life!) headed back to the boat & headed to Hong Island where kayaks were waiting for us , we had a great laugh with the guy rowing ours! Back to the boat for heading back to the pier.
Water, drinks and snacks were plentiful all day, with the option to buy crisps/beers etc.
I’m a very fussy eater and felt a bit nervous about dinner, however I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes. We had chicken & cashew nuts, sweet and sour chicken, salad etc followed by mango sticky rice.
We then left the boat, and headed back to our mini bus. Was a long, very enjoyable day! Thank you to all the crew who were so happy to help with anything 😎

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!!

Must do!
It's a long but great day! The boat is large and steady (no worries about seasickness), plenty of food and drinks provided (no need to bring your own water bottle) and everyone is paired up with a guide for kayaking through the caves. The caves are incredible and so beautiful, James Bond island was a fun stop, and there's a break for swimming or free kayaking too. We got picked up at 10:45 am from our hotel and returned to the dock around 9 pm.

Highly recommended
Great fun biking on tracks on the hill near the Big Buddha in small groups. Some nice views at various points along the way. Also had a short break from riding round to be taken up to the Big Buddha statue (currently closed but you can get reasonably close) for views around the island. Then returned to our bike to ride a while longer. Arrangements including hotel pick up all worked well so no waiting around. Excellent experience and good value. I’d recommend it.

So much fun!
Extremely well run activity, the guides first showed us how to ride the ATV’s then we were off! The Big Buddha is currently closed due to a landslide (or possibility of a landslide) and no indication when it will reopen but could still go up to it and see from the back side of it, still very impressive! Then back to ATV’s, stopped off at a mountain top swing and then more riding, the guide was constantly checking in with us that all ok and taking photos and videos for us. Lots of riding all round and through the jungle tracks, a lot of fun! They also offer paintball and a zip line but we didn’t do those activities but if you wanted to go to one place to do them all, would highly recommend this group. Great value for money plus they pick you up and drop you back to your hotel!
