Support ethical tourism and enjoy an unforgettable experience in the presence of elephants on this half-day tour. Start the journey with a scenic drive to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. Set in lush tropical jungle, the camp is the first ethical sanctuary on the island and provides a new home to sick and injured elephants, exploited by past logging and tourism industries. Before meeting these gentle giants, watch an educational video and learn more about the importance of protecting these beautiful animals. After this short introduction, venture off into the forest and meet the elephants. Quietly observe the majestic creatures from a respectful distance while they roam in their natural habitat; play and socialise with each other; and bathe freely in fresh water lagoons.

Next, accompany the pachyderms back to their shelters and enjoy the opportunity to get up close, feed them baskets of pineapples and bananas, learn more about their individual background and take some photos. Finish this unique experience of bonding with elephants by digging into a vegan Thai buffet before returning to the hotel in Phuket
