What to expect

Pick-Up 
We will pick you up with an air-conditioned minibus for the morning program between 7:20 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. or in the afternoon between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. at your specified accommodation, and then guide you in the east of Koh Samui. Step by step, all other participants are collected for this activity until the entire travel group is completely together. 

The Elephant Sanctuary
Upon arrival in the Elephant Sanctuary Samui, you are warmly welcomed and the project to protect the rescued elephants will be presented. Get a first impression how elephants can live a pleasant life forever. As you will experience yourself, the elephant sanctuary staff are very loving of the elephants and sensitive handling the magnificent animals.

Feeding the Elephants
Next, we will prepare a very healthy and nutritious meal for the elephants together. Afterward, you have enough time to feed and pet the elephants yourself. It is a very unique and unforgettable experience to get so close to an elephant and feed its cold, rough, powerful trunk.

Watching the Elephants
After the animals have tasted your meal, you can also take your time and see the elephants walking through the extensive grounds. The elephants need their breaks, which the trained staff pays great attention to. If you have any questions, the employees are available to you at any time.

Enjoy with the Elephants
After the elephants are rested, they often have fun playing and allowing themselves to cool down. The artificial pool and a mud area is perfect for this. The unique creatures love to wallow in the mud and spray each other wet. An unforgettable sight is guaranteed.

Making Delicious Lunch
To satisfy your hunger, you will be served a delicious vegetarian meal in a cozy little restaurant on the premises. This peaceful and natural place is a great option to see Koh Samui from a different side without mass tourism and cruel animal shows.

Drop-Off
We will pick you up around 12:00 a.m. or 5:00 p.m. with an air-conditioned minibus in the east, and then guide you back to the accommodation you have deposited. Step by step, all other participants of the activity will be dropped off until the entire tour group has completely reached their accommodations.

Amazing experience

The visit to the Elephant Sancturay was an absolute heartwarming experience. We learned a lot about the elephants and the suffering associated with using elephants for work and tourism. It was great to see how lovingly the elephants are taken care of here. We were allowed to help with the feeding. It was definitely the best experience we had on Koh Samui. You also support the sanctuary by visiting. Definitely go here!

Amazing experience!!

We had a great morning at the elephant sanctuary.

It was important to us to find an ethical sanctuary to visit and I don't think we could have chosen any better. It was clear that all the staff really cared about the animals and their welfare.

This was a great experience for our whole family. The kids were a bit nervous to feed the elephants at first but soon got the hang of it!

Thanks everyone at Samui Elephant Sanctuary, keep up the great work!!
