Sustainable Elephant experience! - It was a wonderful experience. Both fun and educational. We made food for the elephants, fed some of them and observed them in their jungle natural habitat that the sanctuary provides for them. All the elephants have been saved from working conditions and are being rehabilitated.

Good value - It's obvious that the elephants are very taken care of with each individual having their own carer. As well as that the staff were very knowledgeable about the elephants. It was great to stroll about in close proximity to them and know that they no longer see humans as a threat. Being picked up from the hotel was a total bonus with communication between the 'organiser' and me through whatsApp exemplary

Wonderful experience. - This was even more enjoyable than I expected. The staff provide you with ingredients to make some snacks for the elephants. You interact with the elephants by hand feeding them, and later hosing them down. Lots of great photo opportunities.

Great experience - Well organised trip, learned lots about the elephants. Preparing the food and feeding them was a real treat. Seeing them out in the habitat was lovely. Rescued Elephants are well cared for here.

Wonderful Experience with the Elephants - I had an incredible experience at Samui Elephant Home. The visit was both fun and educational—we learned about different elephant species and their history in Thailand, which was really informative. A highlight was helping to make supplement food, feeding the elephants, and even bathing them. It was clear the elephants were treated with care and respect, and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions. The whole experience felt very ethical and hands-on. I would highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone visiting Koh Samui. ⸻ Do you want me to also make a shorter, more casual version

Well organized and family friendly - The tour actually came and picked us up at each of our hotels. We went through the jungle of Koh Samui on the way, and we travelled on the eastern coastline on the way back, allowing us to see Lamai and a bit of Chaweng. The experience itself was special. We started off by preparing for the food for the elephants and we got to feed the elephants. We then walked into an open field where the elephants free roamed. The tour was extremely well organized. Definitely a must if you're in Koh Samui.

My personal Thailand highlight🥰🐘 - The trip is highly recommended!😀 Everything great organized including hotel pickup. So lovingly designed.🥰 Carers are very accommodating and nice, explain everything, take photos and videos for you with your phone (at no extra cost), you can feed the elephants with different food, before you make food balls and seed bombs. At the end you can splash the elephants with water and watch them bathe. Something is told about every elephant. There are a total of 7 rescued elephants currently, one of them a baby elephant. After a short walk of about 3 minutes into the jungle, they also take pictures of you with the elephants again and then you can shoot the seed bombs into the jungle with a stone slingshot. Since it was too hot for my son, they drove us and another couple back in an air-conditioned van and gave chilled towels and drinks. Afterwards we had delicious and lovingly prepared food. And there were chilled drinks all the time (water, iced coffee, orange juice etc.). A nurse there also speaks German. Finally, there is a link where you can download a video made during our trip - at no extra cost! Where can I find it?!😅 It was just a mega trip and a great experience and definitely worth his money. A must do excursion!! Do it, you will not regret it.😀
