About this tour

Make a half-day visit to the Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary where these gentle giants are allowed to live their final years roaming freely in a lush, tropical area with a big natural lake without being forced to work. Walk with the elephants through green forest area, make a spa treatment, bath them in the big pool and pepare healthy herb balls.

Explore our Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary situated in Naithon in a green forest area with a big natural lake on the island of Phuket. We offer a convenient pickup service directly from your hotel by comfortable minivan pick with safety and a smile.

The friendly staff of Phuket Elephant Care will welcome you with coffee and tea including bread and some snacks, and you will get an introduction in advanced ECO tourism to prepare for your encounter.

Then it is time to learn how to make rice the local way, and prepare fruits, vegetables and healthy herbal balls for the elephants. While they enjoy their food, learn from the guides about the background of each elephant.

Next, prepare the elephants with a spa treatment. Discover the healing benefits of special spa mud that help to heal elephant wounds from many kinds of scratches, and skin damage. Finally you can take a bath with them in the large pond which is a welcome cool-down. Create one-of-a-kind photo keepsakes with these extraordinary animals.

The last activity is to paint your own small magnetic elephant which you can take back home together with a keychain as souvenir. And to top it all off, enjoy some fresh fruit. Leave inspired and informed, having supported the elephants with maximum freedom to naturally roam, forage, bathe and socialize at the Phuket Elephant Care Sanctuary.
