Full description

A half-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap and Kulen Elephant Forest camp. The price covers Elephant tour guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off and Cool bottle of water. It does not cover personal expense, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Priced per person at about $181 each, so a party of 8 comes to $1,446. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. BREKSA TRAVEL runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

a wonderful day. pickup on time, guide (Tom) knowledgeable and funny. loved making the food for the elephants and then feeding them. seeing them in their own habitat and interacting, especially when they were bathing at the end was wonderful. I would recommend 100% lunch was also great. lots of really lovely food. got to see banana spiders, a tarantula, butterflies and a lot of quite large looking ants in big long lines working hard!

A great experience. Very well organised with pickup on time by tuk-tuk to the booking office across town and then mini-van to the forest. Good briefing by our guide when we arrived at the forest and great information and storytelling during feeding and walking with the elephants. Highly recommended!

What an incredible day learning about Elephants and getting to spend some quality time with them. We would do it again in a heartbeat, these majestic creatures deserve all the love and support they get at this beautiful sanctuary. I hope there will be success with future generations of elephants too. Our guide Toho was amazing, very informative and funny as well. He answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable.

Amazing trip. Very ethical sanctuary, beautiful place, Elephants well looked after, guide very knowledgeable. Prepare food and feed the elephants, you can pat them with care. Fantastic lunch, drinks, collected from hotel, 1 hour drive and taken back. Worth every penny and good for the community and keeping the Elephants in food and medical costs. Highly recommend

This tour is on the expensive side but despite the cost it offers an amazing interaction with the gentle giants of Kulen forest. The elephants are super nice and it's really special to be able to get close, feed and pat them. The guide was very friendly and enthusiastic, providing a lot of information about the elephants and their story. Overall a great experience.

We had an amazing tour guide!!! Toho was our driver and our tour guide. he did an amazing job, making us feel so welcome and teaching us of Cambodia and the elephants. Anybody who is booking this tour should request Toho for the best experience ever!! The elephants were amazing and their stories are a bit sad, but hearing of their freedom at the sanctuary does your heart good. It truly was an out of the world experience, would totally book this tour again!

Our guide was lovely & very informative. He was very passionate about the elephants. We had fun making food for the elephants & feeding two of them. We then followed them on a lovely walk & they also went in the water. At the end of the walk we hosed the elephants down. Afterwards we had some snacks & then were driven back to our hotel.
