Excellent tour but it felt very rushed. Maybe they should allow one hour at the center and explain more about the elephants.

Brilliant experience & so ethical. All elephants are rescues and have free roam behind the fence. Only allowed to briefly touch & feed. No riding or washing. Would definitely recommend!!

a great experience to capture memories in Thai attire. a suggestion would be for them to keep a professional photographer and an elephant guide to give some info about the sweet creatures. They also give you one refreshing beverage choice of a cup of coffee or juice.

We just visited Krabi Elephant Shelter and it was a truly wonderful experience. They dressed us in traditional Thai clothing, taught us how to prepare food for the elephants, and also helped us take some great photos. Afterwards, we got to feed the elephants ourselves. The staff were incredibly friendly and caring, and it’s clear that the animals are well looked after. The whole experience was super interesting, very enjoyable, and also great value for money. Highly recommended!
