"Amazing experience! The elephants are happy and left wild in their habitat. The village is beautiful and the people are friendly. I advice to bring sneakers shoes and bikini to jump in the waterfall."

"Die Lage ist wunderschön jedoch war es weniger natürlich als ich mir dies vorgestellt hatte. Zwei Elefanten trugen „eine Glocke“, was nach mir jedoch mehr eine Vorrichtung war diese anzubinden."

"WOW! I can’t believe how amazing it was to see these magnificent giants 🐘😍 Mr. Ken was very kind and explained that they rescued these creatures from other elephant riding places where they were tortured with sticks and were rode on! Mr. Ken and the village do everything they can to give the best life for them so they can live freely 🥰 how amazing is that..." Read more

"Fantastic sanctuary, happy elephants, wonderful guides. The jungle trek was technical in the rain, but such a cool experience. Some reviews state the elephants have ropes around their necks; some do, the ropes hold bells — like cows in Switzerland, it helps let the keepers know where they are. I was worried about the elephant welfare coming here, because of..." Read more

"It was great to see the four elephants there. However 3 of them had a rope around its neck. None of them had marks behind their ears. We fed the elephants, learned commands such as to open their mouth (not sure if this is ethical), trekked through the jungle with them and watched them bathe. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to bathe with them. During t..." Read more

"코끼리들이 귀여웠고 손님의 대부분은 서양인임. 애들이 바나나를 잘 먹는다. 샤워도 시켜주고 밥도 먹여줄 수 있는 체험. 쪼리(flip flop)을 챙겨가거나 신고가는 것을 추천하고 가족들이 운영하는 곳이었다. 코끼리와 원하는 만큼 사진을 많이 찍을 수 있으며 가까이 다가올 때 조금 놀랐지만 귀여웠다. 계곡같은 곳에서 수영을 할 수도 있다. 비가 와도 그냥 비 맞으면서 다니는데 나름 운치있고 좋았다."

"If I could give this place 6 stars I would. The entire day was incredible. The morning was spent feeding the elephants, wandering through the jungle with them (at the elephants will), then a walk back through the jungle to a beautiful waterfall. Lunch was excellent, cooked fresh and very authentic. After a quick afternoon nap by the river, we dived into the..." Read more

Elephants are really happy and healthy which is down to the people working there. They have a good and gentle relationship with them which is good to see. Our tour guide Ken wa..." Read more

"Sehr schönes Erlebnis. Die Gruppe wird bewusst klein gehalten (Wir waren zu 2.). Die Sanctuary ist mitten im Dschungel. Die Elefanten (2 Elefanten, einer war Schwanger) leben dort frei, ohne Zäune. Sehr freundlicher Umgang mit den Elefanten. Wir durften die Elefanten füttern, und später mit Ihnen im Fluss baden. Es wurde respektiert als einer der Elefanten k..." Read more

"So amazing! First off, try not to bring flip flops, beach shoes are best if they cover your feet and give a bit of traction. Mosquito repellent is a good idea and bring swim clothes (bathing the elephants and a waterfall). I brought a waterproof bag for my camera for pictures as you will be asked to leave bags at the guest area. Pay attention to the guide f..." Read more
