Amazing place that rescues Elephants and treats them properly. So good to walk around and see the elephants relaxed and doingvwhatvtgey do best.

We hired a car for the day and this was our first stop. We did the canopy tour. There was a short info session and we then fed the Elephants’s which was amazing. We then walked on the canopy with our guide who was very informative. We stopped and she told us about all the Elephants and their individual stories. We then went down into to get closer to tue Elephants on ground level and had photos taken with them all. Very good to see these poor creatures being taken care of. A couple of days later we saw some in camps where they had riding saddles on their back feet tied, thia must be so restricting for them. Very sad to see. We both highly recommend choosing not to ride these majestic animals and visit the Phuket Elephant sanctuary instead.

The only place that seems to have the elephants needs before tourist's wants. It's very well done and they want to protect the elephant from being exploited. Yes we did get to feed the "big machine" elephant on her terms and touch hef trunk but we were there to see them not touch them They deserve a piece full retired life and i know Was happy to support that highly recommend a visit. Staff and food were great

What a wonderful experience with the elephants. My family of four had a wonderful time. Our tour included a pickup and drop off from our hotel and unlimited snacks and drinks. They even gave our kids souvenirs! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Visiting the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary (PES) is an absolute MUST DO while in Phuket (don’t get it mixed up with other elephant sanctuaries with similar names - this is the only one in Phuket that truly treats the elephants ethically - NO riding, NO showers or giving them mud baths). It is a 30 acre safe haven for elephants who have been saved from abuse and mistreatment. You are captivated by their majestic beauty as they roam and play from a safe distance on the cool canopy walkway and on the ground but never touching them except to feed them. A truly amazing experience that we would do again in a heartbeat. Our guide, Yaya, was excellent - passionately educating us and telling about each elephant’s quirks and unique personality traits. The experience was very well organized. You could tell the elephants are like family and treated with dignity. Don’t hesitate to book with PES. The more they are supported by tourists, the more elephants they are able to save. I researched high and low and am so thankful I found them!

Just the right amount of time to explore and see elephants in the most ethical way possible. The staff took care of us and educated us about what makes PES ethical, and how best to interact with elephants. The inclusive snacks and drinks were great. Really love the souvenir they gave us as memorabilia

The elephants were amazing and the organization and service was top notch. The snacks and drinks were delicious

The sanctuary really opened all of our eyes. They bring in Elephants that need care and recuperation. This isn't where you ride or swim with the elephants. Here they are cared for after being rescued from earlier 'domestication' and abuse. After an introductory video that shows how many domesticated/tourist elephants are poorly treated and how this sanctuary was created to care for them, you get to feed an elephant, then walk amongst them as they roam freely in the wilds of the sanctuary. A guide carefully walks you around, talking about the history of each. Then the high walkway gives you an overview of the park before a lovely lunch. We found ourselves very well informed and our eyes are so much more open. Recommended.

Knowledge of how the elephants came to be there and their new living conditions. Elephants are treated humanely and the handlers and staff educated us on them.
