This tour was an unforgettable experience. The elephants were beautiful, gentle, and clearly well cared for. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful toward the animals. Being able to feed and interact with the elephants up close was incredibly special. I highly recommend this sanctuary tour to anyone visiting Krabi.

It was great. They are punctual and the total time of the tour is good. The guide explains very well. They gave us snacks, drinks and fruits at the beginning and the end, plus mango sticky rice at the end. They take care very well of the elephants and the people. And last but not least, the elephants are amazing.
