Full description

This is a 1.5-hour experience from Phuket, built around Bukit Elephant Park. It is run by Bukit Elephant Park, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers Live tour guide, Basket of bananas for elephants, Preparation and feeding of rice balls, Opportunity to observe elephants in their natural habitat and Unforgettable photo opportunities. It does not cover Elephant riding and Bathing with elephants, 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.

Patong Beach. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Bukit Elephant Park before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

It was an awesome experience being able to see elephants up close and learn about these huge but gentle animals, and feed them. I enjoyed feeding the elephants bananas and rice balls. Our tour guide JJ is very knowledgeable about all the elephants in bukit elephant. These were all rescue elephants and it was heartwarming to see that they look happy and are well looked after by the caretakers at the sanctuary. Would definitely recommend this tour if you want to learn more about elephants and support this ethical sanctuary so it can keep looking after these animals.

This tour was amazing! Siri was so wonderful and had so much knowledge of the elephants (and we think she should definitely be able to wear shorts - she is professional enough without jeans 😆). We would highly recommend this tour. Loved the stories about princess and her cheeky adventures!!

Really a great park and extremely insightful information about the elephants. They really take good care of the elephants and are very careful with them. It’s a really nice park for the rescued elephants and dominated by the elephants and not humans. Very beautiful!

The elephants are treated very kindly, with respect and lovingly. The painful story of each elephant is shared and you get to learn a lot of information about these wonderful creatures. JJ was our guide, she is cheerful and kind, with deep knowlegde about elephants. The tour was excellent and lelf us with a bitter sweet feeling as we were excited to see the wonderful natural set up and the magnificent animals but also became more aware of their suffering and mistreat from organizations who use them for tourist purposes and profit. It is optimistic though to know that at least some people reall

Guide was amazing, it was very sad hearing the elephants past stories but amazing to see their lives now. They seem very happy and loved by their caretakers. The Elephants roam freely there isn’t even a fence keeping them locked away. This is the most ethical I have seen. The fact you can’t touch them shows their feelings are respected. All they do is bath eat and sleep all day, what a great life away from danger. I felt like the guide was also super honest and genuine. Would do this again. Please do go and support as your visit goes straight towards the care of the elephants

Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover elephant riding and bathing with elephants. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
No riding. This camp lets you feed, walk beside and bathe the elephants without riding, hooks or chains, which is the line we draw before listing a camp. Wear clothes you do not mind getting muddy; a change of clothes and a towel are usually provided, and the mud is part of the day.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
