Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is the first and only ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket where elephants roam around, bathe and sozialize freely across 30 acres of lush, tropical land bordering the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park in North East Phuket. We buy all rescued elephants to ensure that Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is their final home, and we offer professional veterinary care for old and injured elephants. By visiting us, you are supporting a sustainable, ethical and compassionate approach to elephant tourism where elephants have the freedom to live naturally. National Geographic, Lonely Planet and The Guardian have all endorsed our ethical approach.

This Tour was amazing! We started our day with a lovely breakfast that they provide while we get ready for our guide, Shortly after this, we watched a short documentary of how to sanctuary started and the safety guidelines. We then went with a well informative tour guide who took us to feed some elephants. From there we went into the main sanctuary where we got to walk around the elephants (with the guide) and see them up close, you Learn about each elephants story and how they ended up in the sanctuary. After the guided tour you then go back to main canteen and eat a beautiful buffet that is included in the trip. I would 100% recommend this trip.

Overall a really great day.
• pick up was seamless and getting to the actual sanctuary was very well organised and communicated.
• I do believe this was one of the more ethical elephant sanctuaries, we couldn’t touch ride or swim them (which we didn’t want to).
• the tour itself was pleasant, it did feel a bit repetitive and was very hot the day we went so wasn’t ideal to be walking around but that’s out of their control.
• food was pleasant with lots of variety.

This tour is none for the books! We did quite a bit of research on ethical elephant sanctuaries before choosing this one. No rides with the elephants, tricks, or any of that fake sanctuary here. These elephants were used for logging, circuses, and other tourist attractions and have injuries, blind, etc and have been retired. We loved their mission and enjoyed our time with the elephants immensely. You are able to feed the elephants from a safe distance and while we were among them in their own habitat, we were there several feet away. Truly a once in a lifetime tour!

I didn’t expect to get so close to the elephants! There were 12 rescue elephants with room for 12 more. The guide was very informative on the background of each animal and their behaviours.
We were given socks and gumboots at the start of the tour and snacks. We were also shown on video the history of the sanctuary. At the start of the tour we could feed the elephants their favourite snacks.
After the hour long walk, we had a delicious buffet lunch.

Wow , what an amazing place. From start to end everything was perfect. Watching the video at start made me feel very pleased we had booked this ethical experience- as a family of 3 generations including disabilities this was the best. The guides were v informative, explaining the background of each elephant we came across….the experience is lead by the elephants , which is how it should be. Food & drink was brilliant & plentiful. Facilities were spotless. Staff so friendly & welcoming . The setting makes you want to do everything you possibly can to rescue more elephants to enable them to stay & experience this happy final home. Would certainly return

Phuket elephant sanctuary is AWESOME! They rescue elephants who have been abused in the logging and tourism industries and give them a safe forever home. The elephants are adorable and all have their own distinct personalities. The staff here is also amazing. Come to Phuket elephant sanctuary for a chance to support an amazing cause and get an up close look at these wonderful animals.

Wow, what can we say about this incredible experience. The tour is very interactive, interesting and everything is genuinely in the best interest of the elephants. We got to feed the elephants which was beautiful and watch them roam freely in their environment. So much focus on ethical practice. 100% recommend.
