Green Elephant Sanctuary Park

I really enjoyed my visit. The elephants are beautiful and seem quite relaxed. First we met the baby elephant with its mum, and this was a quick meet and greet. I liked that it was a short meeting so the e baby or mother didn’t get stressed out. Then we met many more older elephants at various locations around the sanctuary. My young son really enjoyed feeding them the vegetables. Lovely staff and a great experience.

This is a must-do attraction when visiting Phuket. A very close and direct encounter with these majestic animals. You get to feed them some treats, pat them and do them a mud-wash bath. The elephants are calm, friendly and treated very well. They are not forced into anything, and they are not abused. The pickup from the hotel was smooth and on-time, the included buffet lunch was good, and the place is very kid-friendly. There are professional photos taken by a photographer of you with the elephants which can be downloaded later, and it's included in the visit. Each elephant has a dedicated keeper (Mahout) that is familiar with the elephant and accompanies it all the time. So the whole visit feels very safe and organized. My wife and I visited with our two small children, and we all had an amazing time!

Amazing experience! If you have the time book it! You get to interact with the elephants in an amazing once in a life time experience. You learn how the mahout tend and care for the elephants their entirety of the elephants life until one or the other dies. You get to give the elephants a mud scrub, you get to hand feed them, shower them and tons and tons of pictures taken by the sanctuary’s photographers that are uploaded the very next day free of charge! Transportation to and from the sanctuary is prohibited provided as well as lunch. The lunch is chili free and allergy friendly. There are vegans options. Hands down the best part of my entire trip to Phuket.

A must visit sanctuary. The highlight of our cruise. Amazing to get up close to these incredible elephants and to learn about how they have been rescued. Each elephant has a keeper for life who lives on site. You are not allowed to ride the elephants and all interactions are well supervised. Lunch was prepared on site in an open kitchen, great food - don’t miss this! We booked direct with the sanctuary and they picked us up from the ship. Kaz & Nige

I am so glad we chose this one! They only have elephants saved from jungle ride, tracking and locking! So spending money here goes to taking good care of them! We had amazing time, elephants are so calm, happy and peaceful ☺️ they have teenager elephant for kids, and they give them priority (I don’t have kids on my own yet, but I really liked that!) You have plenty of time to feed them, take fotos, scrub them with mod, splash them in pond with cans, rub them with brooms 🚿🧹 Profi photographers are taking fotos non stop, it is soooo cool, you can relax and enjoy, we left our phones for most of the time. Food is delicious especially chicken nuggets and spring rolls. Driver was amazing too, he let us connect to play music along ride.

It was a very good experience seeing elephants for the first time in my life. The speeches they gave showed so much respect and love for these animals. I strongly recommend this sanctuary. In my opinion, the price is very worth it for everything they deliver, like a delicious lunch with Thai food, beverages, and free pick-up/drop-off.

Had an amazing experience visiting Green Elephant Sanctuary. They made the entire experience seamless and worry free from pick up at hotel to attending to all guests when arriving, and guiding us all throughout the experience. The elephants are rescued from tough situations. You get to feed them, give them therapeutic mud baths, and a rinse. There are photographers in various areas taking photos for you. They have clean showers for once you are done, and a tasty Thai buffet for the end! I highly recommend if you are visiting Phuket.

Absolutely recommend visiting this elephant sanctuary! They provide a safe haven for rescued elephants, giving them a much-deserved second chance. From being picked up and transported to the sanctuary, to the hands-on experience of feeding, bathing, and showering the elephants, it's a truly beautiful and rewarding organization. The staff are incredibly lovely, and the tour concludes with a wonderful buffet and unlimited cold drinks. Clean, hot showers are available at the end of the experience, which is a thoughtful touch. Professional photographers capture the whole tour, and you can download the photos free of charge. The guides are both funny and highly informative. If you have the opportunity to visit, please support this amazing sanctuary. I would 100% go back the next time I'm in Thailand! 🥰
