Description
Spend a day learning about and interacting with rescued elephants at the ethically-run Phuket Elephant Wildlife Sanctuary. Follow the elephants' footsteps and enjoy their daily activities, such as eating local fruits, bathing, and playing with mud.
Start your day with pickup from your accommodation in a luxury, air-conditioned van. From there, take a scenic drive through beautiful scenery to the Elephant Sanctuary. Meet your English-speaking guide and learn a little about the elephants before gathering up some bananas and cane sugar. Walk with your guide through the park and discover the free-roaming elephants in a safe, sustainable and ethical environment. Your guide will tell you a bit about each elephant's individual stories.
You can touch, feed, photograph, and interact with the elephants at your leisure while you learn about their lifestyle and behaviors. After you've met all the elephants, accompany them to a nearby mud spa. Get muddy with the elephants as you apply a healthy cosmetic mud treatment to their skin.
Next, walk with the elephants to a nearby river and join them in the water for a refreshing bath. Take a swim and help bathe and brush the elephants while they wade through and play in the water. Once the elephants are clean, you can take some final photos with them, and then it will be time to part ways with your new friend and change into some dry clothes.
Finally, enjoy some snacks and seasonal fresh fruits before heading back to your hotel.
