Full description

Interact with majestic elephants on this day tour from Krabi to the Ao Nang Elephant Sanctuary. Travel in a comfortable and airconditioned vehicle and enjoy a snack, seasonal fruit, and a drink. Learn about these incredible creatures and join them in the water. 

Be picked up from your accommodation and drive to Ao Nang Elephant Sanctuary. There, you will be met by your English-speaking guide and learn about the history of elephants in Thailand, their behavior, what they eat, and their individual stories.

Receive bananas to feed to feed free-roaming elephants and learn about their individual stories. Touch, feed, photograph, and interact with the elephants at your leisure while your guide tells you about their lifestyle, and behaviors. 

Listen as your guide tells you about how these elephants are rescued from lives of logging or carrying people. After you have met all the elephants, join them in applying mud on the skin as a healthy sunscreen and mud treatment. 

Walk with the elephants, bathe them, and join them in the water for a refreshing cool-off. Brush the elephants while they frolic and play in the water and watch them enjoy being pampered.

Once the elephants are clean, you can take some final photos with them, and then it will be time to part ways and change into some dry clothes. Finally, enjoy some seasonal fresh fruits and coconut water before your transfer back to the hotel.

A very special experience. Our guide showed us the respect for the animals that we hoped for. We are excited about getting our photos but they have not come through so we are contacting them as advised. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to interacted meaningfully with four elephants.

We enjoyed every minute of this half day elephant sanctuary tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and experienced as well as the entire staff. The facility is clean and everything is well taken care of, from the place to the elephants. I highly recommend doing this tour if you want to know more about elephants and get a hands-on experience.

The whole activity was great. We got picked up at the hotel, after that we learned a lot about elephants. The rest of our half-day was spend allng the elephants. All elefants have been treated nicely and there was no riding, which was good. We would highly reccomend this.
