Why we love it?

This half-day tour in Kathu, Phuket offers a chance to spend time with elephants in their natural jungle habitat at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket. You’ll meet your English-speaking guide and learn about the elephants’ history and behavior before feeding them bananas and sugar cane and walking alongside free-roaming elephants. The experience includes applying a mud treatment and helping bathe and brush the elephants in a nearby pool, though bathing with the elephants is excluded. After your time with the elephants, you’ll enjoy a traditional Thai meal before departing.
