What an experience?! We LOVED our day with the beautiful elephants and kind staff at Elephant Haven. We booked the full day tour and got the opportunity to feed, walk with and bathe with the elephants. They were so happy and healthy looking and it is clear to me that the staff really care a lot about them and they happily answered any questions we had, they are very knowledgeable. If you are planning on going to Thailand and you have any interest in wildlife at all, I would not miss this unforgettable opportunity to meet these amazing gentle giants up close!
One of the most moving experiences of our travels. Elephant Haven rescues elephants from shows and exploitative environments, giving them a peaceful, dignified life. You can observe and connect with them in a respectful way, without any force or pressure – the whole atmosphere feels natural and authentic. Everything was perfectly organized: smooth transport, delicious lunch, and incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommended – inspiring, eye-opening, and truly unforgettable.
I visited Elephant Heaven in August, and it turned out to be such a special experience. I was the only person on the trip that day, but the staff still provided excellent service and made me feel very welcome. Everything was well-organized, and I truly appreciated their kindness and attention. Spending time with the elephants was unforgettable — they were so calm, gentle, and friendly. It felt peaceful to be so close to them, and I could really see how well they are cared for. Overall, it was a meaningful and memorable visit that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves animals and nature.
Absolutely LOVED our time at Elephant Haven!! The first thing we did when we got there was feed these gentle giants with palm and watermelon. We made their medicine balls, walked through the jungle, and bathed the elephants 15/10 would recommend. Patrick was an awesome guide and knew a lot about the elephants. You can really tell they love the animals and don’t push them to do anything they don’t want to do.
We had an amazing experience here. Got to make food for the elephants and then feed them. There were many opportunities to be near the elephants and touch them. Swimming with the elephants was also a fun experience. Staff were incredibly kind and polite, maybe too polite. There were a couple other guests there that were not so considerate of the elephants which was frustrating to observe. Food was as also surprisingly delicious, better than expected. Loved our visit here, would love to visit again.
