Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is the first and only ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket where elephants roam around, bathe and sozialize freely across 30 acres of lush, tropical land bordering the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park in North East Phuket. We buy all rescued elephants to ensure that Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is their final home, and we offer professional veterinary care for old and injured elephants. By visiting us, you are supporting a sustainable, ethical and compassionate approach to elephant tourism where elephants have the freedom to live naturally. National Geographic, Lonely Planet and The Guardian have all endorsed our ethical approach.

This was an amazing experience! The guides were so informative and knew a lot about each elephant. I loved that it was ethical and all the elephants had been rescued and are being rehabilitated here. I would recommend to everyone!

Before booking this few-hour solo tour, I, like many others (and as everyone should do), researched the best ethical and humane options for visiting elephants.
This sanctuary is extremely well-run and informative.
They employ many well-trained local people, and everything is set up very professionally.
They have rescued elephants from camps, captivity, or other places where these amazing animals were misused or abused. These elephants roam freely here, and you feel like you are helping the animals by paying a fee to watch them in their natural habitat. It's very well done, and the staff are committed to protecting the elephants from exploitation.

We visited today and had the most wonderful experience seeing and learning about elephants. Staff are so knowledgeable about the rescued elephants that they care for and shared this with the visitors. We were a mixed family group of six aged 2 to 62 but this visit suited us all. Our guide. Yaya, made sure that we were all comfortable and happy throughout while helping to maintain a safe and calm environment for the elephants.
It’s extremely well organised from transfers to clean socks, wellies and raincoats. They provide excellent clean up facilities and a really nice lunch with drinks. Staff were welcoming from start to finish and we all felt privileged to have been able to experience the tour today. Don’t miss this tour , it’s the best thing to do in Phuket.

The canopy walk was perfect for us. We got a good view of the elephants and being high in the air, there weren’t a lot of mosquitos. Feeding the elephants at the end was just enough time to be close to the elephants.

If you are considering visiting an elephant sanctuary in Phuket please strongly consider this one. It is a completely ethical sanctuary which means the elephants live naturally and aren’t forced to do things they should not. They have saved 12 elephants with the goal of saving up to 25 and a lot of that happens through donations and tourists coming and learning about elephant treatment in Thailand. The guides were very knowledgeable and it was very obvious these elephants are well loved. A must see in Phuket!

In the Elephant Sanctuary they rescue old hurt elephants from camps, captivity or other places of misuse/abuse of these amazing animals. Here you feel you are helping the animals while watching them in their natural habitat. Next to that the sanctuary employs many local people and it is setup really professionally.

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.
