Full description

This is a 6-hour experience in Phuket. It is run by Anda Adventure Co.,Ltd, 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 Guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off at Phuket or Khao Lak, Traditional Thai lunch, Bananas and sugarcane to feed the elephants and Mahout uniform and bamboo hat. It does not cover Gratuities and Personal expenses, 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.

Hotel pickup in Phuket. Anda Adventure Co.,Ltd confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Anda Adventure Co.,Ltd before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The elephant experience was worth the whole price . We prepared bananas and sugarcane and a protein ball treat for the elephants, then went and found them in the jungle (their keepers had brought them most of the way down). We fed them their natural treats and they followed us down to the water. No ropes or restraints were used by their keepers, only sounds and words . We spent a lot of time with them in the water. It was the most amazing experience I think I’ve ever had. I felt their treatment was very ethical and enjoyable . We were supposed to go rafting but the pouring rain made the water

The whole experience and the way things were planned was excellent. The group was small, not too large. Every activity was timed really well, not too long, not too short. The experience with the elephant was the best one. I would highly recommend this booking this trip.

The elephant experience was amazing- absolutely magical. So lovely to interact with them with them in a jungle environment and no need for any kind of restraints. Lunch lovely and we enjoyed the other activities. It’s quite a long transfer from our Phuket hotel but taxi was very comfortable and the elephants definitely made it worthwhile! Many thanks

The rafting and elephants were standout experiences. our kids 10 and 12 had a ball. the two rafters were really entertaining. Suggestion... mention that lockers are provided to change outfits and footwear between activities. Shoes and dry clothes for zipline, wet wear and flip flops/reef shoes for rafting and elephants.

An amazing experience from start to finish. We were treated like special guests, picked up and brought to a wonderful place. The lunch was amazing, but the rafting and elephant experience really blew me away. What a once in a lifetime experience!

This was a great activity. Our guide was Eak, and the only thing I’d do differently is booking through them directly at www.andaadventure.com rather than 3rd party. We did the zipline, white water rafting, and elephants. The zipline isn’t much but it’s fun, especially for those who haven’t before. The real fun is the rafting and elephants. I recommend going for the full 9km, but no pressure to book, you can opt in or out at the 5km mark. The elephants were like nothing I’ve done before. I’m not an expert but they seemed cared for. They are roaming but they each have a person to follow them and

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Phuket. Anda Adventure Co.,Ltd confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover gratuities and personal expenses. 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 duration of the Elephant Care Experience with Rafting and Zipline in Phuket is typically 6 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.

Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.

We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type.

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.
