Our activity included Ethical Elephant village - very informative guide. Great to see the Elephants free ranging on the very generous property- no forced interaction. We then went to the Zipline and ATV with Skyline Flying- the guides were super friendly and attentive- had a great time Ziplining through the jungle - views were amazing. The ATV experience was also great fun - easy to use and tracks picked for our skills.

Very exciting to be next to the elephants. They’re gentle giants…and extremely intelligent. The crew works exceptionally well with them. The jungle Adventure combo was also exciting. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience, especially at the elephant sanctuary. We booked the 8:00 AM tour and ended up being the only ones there, which made it feel like a private tour—absolutely unforgettable. We even got to make food for the elephants, and feeding and petting these magnificent animals up close was incredibly special and something we’ll never forget. The zip lines were fun—we just wished they were a bit longer—but still a great time. The ATV ride was a highlight, super fun and exciting. Because we arrived early, we did have to wait about 30 minutes for another group to finish before bei

Highly recommend this trip it was amazing! The elephant sanctuary was amazing, it was great to see elephants roaming freely around the hills and to be able to walk with them and feed them. The tour guides were brilliant making sure everyone interacted and got photos. We then got a transfer from the sanctuary to the zipline. The zip line and ATVs again were brilliant! The guides were very fun and had a very good sense of humour they even took photos and videos for us. Then to finish it we got a transfer back to the hotel after which was super! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a b

What a great combination of activities in the same area. The elephant stop was fascinating and just the right amount of time (1 hour). The zip lining was really fun and a well laid out course with some great views. And the ATV was a short but good time.

This experience was incredible!! Pa was such a great guide and answered all of our questions. It's so nice seeing how well they take care of the elephants. The zipline and ATV were at a different place and it was so much fun!

The elephant sanctuary was amazing, was so happy with how they were treating them. They were free to roam and enjoy the sanctuary but you got to get up close and feed them still. The zipline and ATV was also good, I extended thr quad bikes for 30 more mins for 1200 THB so you got a rood run and it was quite challenging so I enjoyed it.

My entire experience was amazing from start to finish. All of the tour guides were so friendly and had a great sense of humor. The elephants are well taken cared for and are good with people. Was also pretty cool feeding them. It was my first time zip lining and my expectations were exceeded! We zipped lined from what felt like 10 different trees and I even got to Superman at the end! Lol! I did end up with 2 cuts on my legs from Supermaning through the jungle but at least I can say these scars were made in Thailand! Lol! It was an amazing experience and for sure a 100/100! Definitely recommen
