Full description

Start your adventure bright and early with complimentary pickup from your hotel in Phuket. Enjoy the sights of local life in the southern part of Thailand as you drive to your first stop. Wang Kiang Koo waterfall, where our local paddlers await us at the river bank. With their gigantic bamboo raft waiting for us to hop on, see our paddler in action maneuvering the raft along the stream of Kiang Koo waterfall. After the unforgettable experience with the bamboo rafting with a blast from the past, enjoy playing in crystal clear refreshing water. Next, visit the Sea Turtle Conservation Center for a close turtle encounter. Hear about their species and how they were rescued. Explore the conservation center and meet different sizes of turtles, species, and colors. Then, visit Wat Lak Kaen. One of the oldest and most significant temples in the area, hear the story of the Buddha's holy relic. From here, head to a local restaurant located at Wang Kiang Koo waterfall and savor a delicious southern Thai set lunch. Then, set off on your next adventure visiting an elephant sanctuary and meeting the friendly giants. Hear about their individual stories and how they were rescued. Interact with them by giving a meal for the elephants with the loving elephant carer (mahout), then bathe the elephants in a fun mud spa. Lastly, feed them from your own hands while taking some exciting new photos for your Instagram. After your adventurous day, hop back on the van transferring back to your hotel.

Our guide Boom was so friendly, patient and knowledgeable! The tour itself was so much fun, with our youngest child (6 years old) enjoying it just as much as our eldest (20). If you want to experience turtles and elephants in a laid back environment that is not too crowded, this tour is the perfect option. We did choose the private tour option (family of 6) which made it nice and intimate. The tour included all of the drinks we could possibly need and the quality of food for lunch was absolutely superb (probably the best meal we have had during our stay in Thailand). It is a full on day that takes in many once in a lifetime experiences, and highly recommended for all! Thanks once again Boom (and La, our driver) for an unforgettable trip!

We both thoroughly enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it! The tour started on time, the tour guide was friendly and very knowledgable - we learned a lot about Thai culture today! We travelled some distance but it was worth it. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. The elephant bathing is a unique experience that is an absolute must if you are visiting Phuket. Thanks so much for making today a wonderful & memorable experience.

We had the best day with the sweetest guide, mau ☺️ we went as a family of four and there was only 2 other tourist on the same trip☺️ the trip was as we had hoped for and more , and the food was perfect. There was more than enough for all of us☺️ We live on karon beach so the dive was 2hours long, both ways but definitely worth it.
