Overview

Spend an unforgettable day in the jungle with Thailand’s most revered animal, the elephant. The gentle giants at Elephant Hug have been rescued from a life of work and riding camps and now spend their days doing what they like best – taking mud baths, playing in the river, and eating their favorite snacks. This family-friendly tour is also educational, so you will learn about their history, health, and behavior, too.

What we’ll do

About the 1 Day Hug Elephant Sanctuary Tour

After you are picked up from your hotel, take a scenic drive through the Thai countryside to Hug Elephant. This is a special home to elephants that no longer carry heavy logs or give rides to tourists. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your local English-speaking guide and learn all about the history and behavior of these beautiful animals.

Next, meet the elephants! One by one, learn their names and win them over by feeding them a few of their favorite snacks. Take a break and enjoy your own lunch of Thai food and fresh, tropical fruit before giving the elephants a mud bath. Afterward, rinse them off in a river and go swimming near a waterfall.

Once the elephants are clean, it’s time to say goodbye to them and change into your dry clothes. Relax on an air-conditioned ride back to your hotel in Chiang Mai.
