Phuket Elephant Sanctuary Experience
Overview
At Phuket's first ethical elephant sanctuary, you'll meet rescued elephants in a 30-acre tropical jungle that provides a new home for retired working elephants. This high-welfare sanctuary, certified by Klook, allows you to observe the elephants as they roam, bathe, forage, and socialize freely in their natural environment. Knowledgeable guides will share the unique stories of each elephant and offer insights into Asian elephant conservation. You'll also have the chance to feed some of the elephants in a respectful, non-intrusive way (included until 31 March 2026 only).
