Experience an Ethical Elephant Sanctuary Adventure in Chiang Mai


Embark on a heartwarming full-day journey to a Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, where ethical elephant care, cultural traditions, and natural beauty come together for an unforgettable experience. Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pick-up, followed by a scenic drive through Northern Thailand's lush countryside. Along the way, admire rolling hills, rice paddies, and banana plantations before arriving at the sanctuary, where you'll receive a warm welcome and learn about its commitment to rescuing and caring for elephants.


After changing into traditional northern Thai clothing, discover the inspiring stories of the sanctuary's rescued elephants and gain insight into their daily care.

Relax beside the river with freshly harvested herbal tea, take part in a simple elephant health check, and witness the compassionate care that ensures the animals' well-being.


After an authentic Thai lunch surrounded by the tranquil jungle, the experience draws to a close with a comfortable journey back to Chiang Mai. Combining meaningful wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, and breathtaking scenery, this full-day sanctuary tour leaves visitors with lasting memories and a deeper understanding of elephant conservation in Northern Thailand.

Really nice full-day tour to the elephant sanctuary. Small group and really relaxed. Great local tour guide from Karen tribe that explained a lot about local plants and the elephants. It was a great day-highly recommended. Thanks for the great experience!

Me and my partner did the full day experience and this is the best value for money activity i have ever done. Our guide Dej was incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The experience of seeing the elephants up close and personal was surreal, getting to feed them, bathe them and make their vitamin balls which we also gave them. The food prepared was great, rice and local dishes which were fresh tasty and accompanied by fruit. The weather was miserable and rained all day but it had no impact on the day as the team mad it an unreal experience 10/10 and Dej is fantastic at what he does.

We did the half day morning tour and truly enjoyed the experience, would recommend! Pai and the team are passionate about the elephants and are well looked after. We did a hike with the elephants in the forest and the team are knowledgeable to keep you safe but you also need to use common sense and treat them with respect. Plenty of opportunity to take photos with them. This tour was a memorable part of our holiday.
