Visit an ethical elephant sanctuary in Koh Samui, where Asian elephants live freely and safely in their natural habitat. This meaningful experience allows you to learn about their stories, understand the importance of proper elephant care, and take part in a conservation program led by passionate and experienced guides.
The journey begins with a hotel pickup and a 30-45 minute scenic drive through Koh Samui’s lush landscapes. Upon arrival, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink followed by an introduction to the sanctuary’s mission, which focuses on ethical treatment and protection of elephants. You’ll help prepare specially formulated food and have the chance to feed them organic treats such as fresh grass and bananas grown right on-site.
Join the elephants on a relaxed jungle walk, where you’ll witness instinctive behaviors like foraging and tree-rubbing in a peaceful environment. Watch them enjoy a mud bath—an essential part of their wellness routine that protects their skin and keeps bugs away. Later, help cool them down with a gentle hose spray as they swim and relax in a large natural pool.
After a day of connecting with nature and these gentle giants, enjoy a healthy vegetarian meal made with seasonal fruits and local ingredients. As your visit concludes, you’ll be treated to a surprise video that highlights the heart of the sanctuary’s work and the positive impact on elephant conservation. You’ll then return to your hotel with memories to treasure forever.
