I had an amazing experience on the half-day tour. Even though it poured heavily during the monsoon season, the staff were extremely well-prepared and made the entire tour run smoothly. The experience is truly worth every bit of your money 💯😊 What I appreciated most is that this place is genuinely elephant-focused. Their priority is animal care, and they are committed to educating visitors about the importance of elephants to Thai culture and local communities. They also openly share information about Thailand’s BAN on using elephants for logging, entertainment, and rides, which shows their strong commitment to ethical care. They even plan to open the first dedicated elephant clinic in the future. 🫶🐘 Spoiler Alert: The tour began with an introduction to the sanctuary and the elephants, followed by preparing food for them and getting the chance to feed them. We then walked into the jungle to see their natural habitat with our guide, and even enjoyed splashing water on the elephants. Overall, it was an unforgettable, meaningful experience made even better by the incredible staff who truly love and respect the elephants. 🐘🐘🐘
I had an incredible experience at Samui Elephant Home! Our guide Angie was fantastic; her knowledge and passion for the elephants truly made the visit special. We even had a blast catapulting pumpkin seeds into the jungle to help grow food for the elephants, which was such a fun and unique activity! The on-site museum was excellent and filled with informative exhibits, learned so much about these amazing creatures. It was heartwarming to see the elephants looking so happy and calm; you can tell they’re well cared for. This place is a great example of ethical tourism, and I wholeheartedly recommend visiting!
We had a magical time here at Samui Elephant Home. Staff were amazing. They seem really care about the Elephants and made us feel welcome. They put the Elephants safety and health first. So much fun feeding them and walking with them. Highly recommend!
Elephant Home was an amazing and unforgettable adventure for us as a couple. We had the opportunity to see how the nine elephants, rescued from difficult pasts, now live a loving and free life on site. The people there take wonderful care of the elephants with great dedication and compassion, and you can truly see how happy and content the animals are. Overall, I can highly recommend Elephant Home to anyone who wants to do something good and experience a respectful and authentic encounter with elephants. Visiting supports the amazing team and helps ensure that the elephants can continue to enjoy their beautiful lives.
It was a very special moment with the elephants and their story. We loved it! Thank you so much
This was an absolutely amazing morning. Up close with the elephants and learning about them. This was one of our favorite activities in Koh Samui. What a wonderful memory we will have of these beautiful elephants. It was so heartwarming to see how well they are taken care of. The sanctuary is a gorgeous area and a wonderful home for these elephants!! What an awesome staff!!!
This is a tour that EVERYONE should definitely do. Our guide, Angie, was excellent. She started by introducing us to what they do at the center with the elephants, how they rescue them, and what the animals had suffered before arriving there. She also showed us the elephant museum. We had the opportunity to feed the elephants and even touch them. The animals are very well cared for. We also planted seeds to help grow food for the elephants. All the conditions provided are optimal for the animals, but they REALLY need everyone’s support.
We really liked our experience here. The elephants get treated really good and we had the feeling that we did something sustainable to support the saved elephants and provide food and a better home for them in the future :-)
This is such an incredible tour. Our guide Noot was so passionate. The joy of seeing the elephants roam free was inspiring. Petting & feeding these majestic creatures was one of the highlights of our lives!!!
My kids and I did the Half Day Tour yesterday and we absolutely loved it! Katie, one of the guides, was excellent at explaining how this sanctuary is ethical. You could see how much they care and love these elephants that have been rescued. We got to make supplemental food and feed the elephants. All in all it was an excellent tour and one I’d recommend to everyone who is interested in learning a little about elephants. When booking, if your hotel is not on the pickup list, you can ask your reception at resort to call and ask for your hotel pickup (make sure to note it in your bookings when you book). They would be more than happy to pick you up at your unlisted resort. How to prepare: - Small day pack - Recommend you put bug spray/sunscreen before you arrive as the harsh chemicals can harm the elephants - Comfortable walking shoes/sandals - Shorts (it was a semi hot day for us) and maybe rain gear. It did rain on and off when we went. - Pay attention to their rules and follow them. They’re set in place to protect both elephant and you (that includes reigning in small children who don’t have boundaries) - They give you tea, coffee, juices and lunch/dinner (however you want to call it) that was delicious and simple. - An enthusiastic mindset to learn. Enjoy!
