Wonderful and Ethical Elephant Care Experience

Andy_K, Dec 2025

This was an amazing experience! Pickup from our hotel 5 minutes after 8, and made one stop on our way to Eco Adventure camp. It was about 1.5 hours to get there. Once we arrived we changed into the elephant garb. And we fed the elephants. We alap made elephant sushi and helped to bathe the elephants. There were three elephants and our group was very small (us and 3 other people). Everyone was extremely friendly. Our guide was so helpful and gave us clear instructions throughout. From when to use our bug spray and safety instructions to where to get the best pictures, he was so helpful. The rafting was also really fun. We went through three major rapids and a few smaller ones, and some calm area too. That was about 45 min.
