What we'll do

About the Half Day Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Tour

Experience stunning views and an unforgettable experience with a small family of elephants during this half-day tour to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary. This local company helps connect people with friendly elephants in a safe and sustainable environment.

Whether you choose the morning tour or afternoon tour, your trip will begin with an hour and a half drive past scenic farms and rolling hills before driving into the jungle-covered mountains and the home of the elephants.

Once you’ve arrived, your English-speaking Karen guide will greet you and tell you about the history of Thailand’s elephants and their importance in Thai culture. You’ll be given a traditional Karen shirt to change into, provided with some bananas and sugar cane, and then guided to meet the free-roaming elephants!

Each elephant has a different background, rescue story, and personality. Spend time with them, one-by-one, and learn their names and their individual behaviors and funny quirks. Win them over with some snacks and enjoy petting them, too.

Afterward, it’s time to get messy! Join the elephants for a therapeutic mud spa, applying mud to their legs and bellies, and to each other. Once everyone is thoroughly covered, walk down to the river jump into the refreshing water, where you and the elephants can take a bath. While swimming and splashing around with the elephants, don’t forget to take photos!
