Dani – Canada

Sai was fantastic and informative and kind. I didn’t realize we were going to a temple, so we stopped at a shop on the way so I could purchase long pants. Mr. Komson our driver was equally engaging. Thank you! I would highly recommend this tour. Be prepared to cry at the Tsunami memorial.

I enjoyed seeing the elephants up close and being able to interact with them. Also appreciated the care they were getting and the freedom they were allowed.

Excellent tour, thoroughly enjoyed seeing the turtles, the elephants were the highlight feeding and walking with them in the jungle. The lunch provided was far more than expected and the final stop at the tsunami museum was a real eye opener, our guide Sai was great and knowledgeable, really made it for us. We would recommend this tour.
