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 1:50 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.
Welcome and Introduction
When you arrive at the elephant shelter, there you will be warmly welcomed and you will be introduced to the elephant protection project. The elephants here can have a pleasant everyday life. As you will experience for yourself, the muhats and employees of the elephant shelter treat the magnificent pachyderms very lovingly and sensitively.
Preparation of the meal
Next, we prepare a very healthy and nutritious meal for the elephants together. You will then have enough time to feed and stroke the animals yourself. It is a unique and unforgettable experience to come so close to an elephant and feed its cold, rough, powerful trunk.
Watch the elephants
As soon as the pachyderms have enjoyed their meal, you can also take the time to watch the elephants while they are strolling through the extensive grounds. The elephants need a rest break, which the trained staff pays very careful attention to. If you have any questions, the employees are always at your disposal.
Pool and mud bath
After the elephants have rested, they often have fun playing and taking a pleasant dip. An artificially created pool and a mud area are available for this purpose. The unique creatures love to roll around in the mud and splash each other wet. An unforgettable sight is guaranteed.
Vegetarian meal
To satisfy your hunger, you will be served a delicious vegetarian meal in a cozy little restaurant on the premises. This peaceful and quiet place is a great option to see Koh Samui from another side to avoid mass tourism and unnecessary animal shows altogether.
Drop Off
We will pick you up around 12:00 p.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.

Wir sind sehr froh darüber dieses Erlebnis gebucht zu haben. Die Pfleger dort sind super bemüht um das Wohl der Elefanten. Ihnen geht es dort super und sie werden verwöhnt. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Easy, fun, educational and ethical.
Recommended for families or a date.
Wir haben uns bewusst für Elephant Haven entschieden, da wir viel positives gehört haben. Wir waren begeistert. Die Mitarbeiter machen ihre Arbeit super und man merkt mit wieviel Begeisterung sie es machen. Wir durften Essen zubereiten und die Elefanten mit Bananen füttern. Aktuell gibt es auch zwei Jungtiere. Wir fanden das auch voll toll mit den Elefantenkuchen. Durch Spenden kann man so einen Elefantenkuchen individuelle mit Namen gestalten lassen, die von Mitarbeitern vor Ort zubereitet werden. Dann wird ein Video davon gemacht, wie die Elefanten den Kuchen verspeisen und an den Spender geschickt. Es macht einfach nur Spass die Elefanten zu Beobachten. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Schön, dass es sowas für Elefanten gibt. Würden wir jederzeit wieder machen.
Great booking process. This tour is highly recommended if you are really interested in the welfare of the animals. The nurses give everything and the individual histories of the rescued animals is really heartbreaking. super you get info from the nurses Plus info how to identify a reputable sanctuary. Please any offers with elephant riding, swimming, etc. book. For this purpose, the animals are incredibly tortured.
Der ganzen Familie hat der Besuch bei den Elefanten besonders gut gefallen. Unsere Kinder kannten Elefanten nur aus der Ferne im Zoo. Sie jetzt in einer weitläufigen Anlage Baden und spielen zu sehen, war sehr bewegend. Es ist beruhigend zu sehen, dass es zu viele Tierfreunde gibt, die das unterstützen. Wir waren in einer kleinen Gruppe dort, aber nicht alleine.
The whole family has the visit to the elephant particularly liked. Our children knew elephants from a distance at the zoo. They can now be seen in a sprawling complex swimming and playing, was very moving. It is reassuring to see that there are too many animal lovers who support this. We were in a small group there, but not alone.
