great place to visit - went on a experience day here, booked through get your guide. This experience was great, the staff were all really friendly, the two staff members in particular (The man who supporters Liverpool football club and has a tattoo, and the guy who is at the same station and was talking about manchester) were brilliant, so informative on the elephants and you can tell they are hard workers. The trip is great value for your money, you get the full day there, transport and food. Please if you want to see elephants visit here and support them as they are great and i couldn’t recommend them more!

Absolutely One of Our Favorites in Thailand! - We actually went in September 2023, not 2024. This was one of the true highlights of our Thailand trip. A full day that showed us so much! And our guide was wonderful All I can do is smile when I look back at the pictures and remember how beautiful the day was and how much we saw and learned.

Private Tour to waterfall - This was such a fun experience! We chose to go to the temple first. Our tour guide Ronnie came with us up the cart, gave us a tour around and explained as much as possible. Then we were left alone to wander around. We had lunch at the Elephant Terrace Restaurant which was included in the package. The food was soooo good! Then we went to the waterfall which was actually quite busy with locals at the time. It was such a fun experience especially since it started to get hot when we went.
Our tour guide and driver were so nice and kind. They offered to take us to other places to om the way to the waterfall and back to the hotel as we were ahead of time which was such a nice offer too.

Fantastic Day! - Yun was such a fantastic travel guide for us. There were only three of us on the tour and she was such a wealth of information! She made sure we were very well taken care of, made sure we had fun, and went out of her way to make the experience memorable. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing guide Suriya. - We had an amazing full day with great activities. From feeding and washing the elephants to the beautiful waterfalls and the bamboo rafting.
Our guide Suriya speaks amazing English and has a wonderful sense of humour. He has a complete knowledge about the elephants and the history of the country and the Shan state. I can't recommend the elephant sanctuary tour enough and I hope you are lucky enough to have Suriya as your guide.

It was overall a really... - It was overall a really good experience. Maggie was a great guide! I sort of assumed there would be a bit more nature during the Doi Suthep piece due to it being in a national park, but there wasn't anything about that in the description, so it makes sense. There was one lookout over the city, but there was a bit of smoke, so it was good, not great. However, the pieces that were in the tour were really well done! We learned a lot and got lots of our questions answered. The sticky waterfall was so much more fun than expected! We had a blast! Maggie was very helpful for my wife who was 26 weeks pregnant, making sure she was safe and that we weren't going too fast. She also did a great job of explaining the structure of the day, including how long our car rides would be.
