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.

I did this tour with my 4-year-old daughter, and she loved it. Very well-organized tour from the pick-up to drop-off, by an ethical tour organizer. The premises are in great condition and clearly well-maintained. Snacks and drinks are fantastic. The guide was happy to answer all our questions. My daughter loved the canopy walkway. You will also make a couple of stops during which it is possible to observe the elephants very close up. I can warmly recommed this tour to everyone.

It really is the only ethical elephant sanctuary in Thailand, where you don't get to ride or bath with the elephants, but you get very close to them, in their natural habitat and you also get to feed them. All the elephants were rescued from other ,,sanctuaries" or circus and you can see how many scars they got. They are taking very good care of elephants and they make everything for the people to have a good time with them. They made a big step in helping the animals and it's up to us to continue, by not incouraging animal riding, circus and not even bathing just for fun. Big thanks to elephant sanctuary!

A thoroughly enjoyable and educational visit. The sanctuary showcases the abuse that these majestic animals endure and how a different form of tourism can provide a safe haven for them. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. The staff showed a real passion for their work and love of the animals under their care.

An absolutely wonderful experience. The elephants live here in idyllic and peaceful surroundings. A great organization that you should definitely support.
The tour guides answer all questions, the elephants can be photographed and fed.
We would book it again at any time. Absolutely recommended!

Visiting the sanctuary was very rewarding and fun. The staff is excellent and goes above and beyond in making sure that you have everything that you need. There were refreshments and food served. Everyone was extremely nice and the elephants!!!! Well you could tell they were loved and happy. We enjoyed meeting all of them and feeding them. It was highlight of my trip learning about what this sanctuary does for the animals.

So happy this is exactly what we were looking for. See them up close but not bother them. The guides knew information on each elephants stored and story which was nice. You can truly tell the elephants are well cared for and happy. Complimentary refreshments offered and gift shop was well priced.

A place where elephants who have been mistreated especially in the tourism industry are cared for. This beautiful and peaceful place makes you think about the impact of tourist activities on animals in Thailand. The activity is extremely well organized and really interesting. If you want to see elephants, go to this sanctuary and avoid all other activities involving them.

We had an amazing morning with the staff and elephants. The walkways give you a Birds Eye view of these majestic animals and the staff all knew each elephant and their story. A great way for my young children to learn about animal rights and respect for animals.
