EXCELLENT Based on 248 reviews Anna Bertrand2024-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visiting this elephant sanctuary was an absolutely amazing experience. It’s evident that the staff genuinely care about the well-being of the elephants, and their passion and dedication shine through in everything they do. The sanctuary is beautifully maintained, and the elephants are clearly happy, healthy, and treated with the utmost respect. From feeding and interacting with the elephants to learning about their stories and natural behaviors, every moment felt meaningful and unforgettable. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also warm and welcoming, making the entire experience even more special. The only very minor downside was the ratio of time spent traveling to the sanctuary versus the time spent with the elephants. However, the experience itself was so incredible that it was well worth the journey. I highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone looking for an ethical and heartwarming encounter with these magnificent animals!

I would definitely recommend this tour again! Oh, and did I mention the food? The chefs—whoever they were—deserve a raise, haha. Lastly, the entire staff was incredible. Their energy and dedication to helping and assisting guests made me feel safe. The staff’s respect and care for the elephants were evident; you could tell, even from the outside looking in, that the elephants were treated with the utmost respect. stephanie farah2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience at Lake Phuket Elephant home. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and passionate. It truly is beautiful to see how well the elephants are taken care of and loved by all the staff. Thank you again for an amazing experience to come close to the elephants. We enjoyed the nature walk, swimming and feeding them! Cooking class and a beautiful lunch was a bonus! Kristina Hines2024-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was adamant on finding an ethical elephant sanctuary and rescue when visiting Phuket and couldn’t be happier with our experience here! The elephants free roam where we followed them up toward the top of a mountain and got to feed them plenty of bamboo and bananas while we took photos with them. We then got to bathe them down in a large lake where the elephants were throwing mud and water to cool themselves off. You can tell that these elephants are very loved and well taken care of. They display no anxious behaviors and took very well to us coming so close to them without being forced to pose or perform. Must do activity in Phuket! Zazi2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We fed the elephants and learnt a lot about them. Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was a lovely experience. Our group had 5 people, which was wonderful as the elephants were not overwhelmed. This is one of the very few elephant sanctuaries that take care of the elephants and allow them to thrive in their natural habitat. They also don't take advantage of the elephants like most places. I loved it here! Every second made my heart jump for joy. naty mita2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best experiences of my life!
