Bukit elephant park is a must see! They take such good care of the elephants and educate you on the ethical ways to care for them. We were able to feed and pet some of them which was awesome! Sara was the best guide ever!! The lunch we had after was the best Thai food we’ve ever had! Would highly recommend this excursion!

Great to see elephants in a sanctuary setting, to learn about them as individuals, interact with them in a more respectful way and contribute to their on going care. Lunch was great too.

Excellent tour to see and learn about the Asian Elephants.

Fiona_G, Sep 2025

The experience lived up to my expectations. Elephants able to be moving around and provided for. Excellent guide who provided us with information about the elephants as we walked through the park. The Thai cooking class was excellent with the dish made the highlight and delicious part of the meal.

Amazing tour!

This was an incredible tour. The elephants here are not harmed and no bathing with them. We got to feed them and take photos of them out in their sanctuary. All the money goes to the elephants and each one has its own caretaker which is very nice. This taught me so much about the elephants & we also took a cooking class after that was delicious and hands on.

Nice morning

Martha_B, Mar 2025

The tour was exactly the way it was listed… interacted,with the elephants in a safe secure manner…. We were not looking for a long tour and it was perfect.

Awesome tour

An amazing learning experience with well informed tour guides. I proposed to my fiance there and they made it so special accommodating to our needs. They went above and beyond our expectations with how well they informed us about these beautiful creatures. They taught us about the rubber trees which was cool as well as their relationship with these rescued animals. You feel safe and leave with knowledge about the elephants and gain a greater respect for the caretakers, the elephants, and the establishment. This is a cruelty free area where the elephants roam free and act/behave naturally versus other areas where the animals are worked and seem trained versus living in their natural element. Much thanks to the staff for an unforgettably wild and dream come true experience!

Great experience

Tracy_C, Nov 2024

It was awesome. I would suggest water before the walk but over all is was great and very informative.

A beautiful experience

Tanika_S, Nov 2024

This was an amazing experience to walk alongside of these beautiful creatures. The staff was welcoming and informative, we spent time learning a little about each elephant we met in their natural environment, not chained up! We then learned how to make coconut milk and were provided a demonstration on how to make soup just before having a beautiful lunch overlooking the elephant habitat.

Great time with elephants

Kloni_L, Nov 2024

This was a really great time! Driver was on time and the whole experience was really organized. This package gets you the green sticker which includes the cooking class. I wish we could have had an option to get the pink which includes a little more activity with the elephants. But none the less, feeding the elephants and watching them in their natural habitat was really wholesome and heart warming. Would definitely do this again. Love the cause!
