Elephant Sanctuary

Home Excursions in Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

An elephant tour in Phuket offers a unique opportunity to connect with Thailand’s wildlife, meet these majestic creatures, and learn about the importance of their protection.

Visiting elephant sanctuaries is not only an enjoyable experience but also an educational program focused on conservation and preserving the elephant population.

At the beginning of the tour, guides share insights into the role of elephants in Thai culture and the reasons these animals are endangered.

The main part of the tour involves direct interaction with the elephants. Visitors can feed them fruits, watch them bathe in a large pond or river, and assist in caring for these magnificent animals.

We’ve checked and selected the top 3 tour companies for you, ensuring that you’ll have a positive experience. In the feedback form below, please provide any initial information, and we’ll pass on your request so they can contact you and provide details on available options and conditions for Elephant Sanctuary tours.

Many sanctuaries in Phuket adhere to humane treatment principles, avoiding elephant rides and other activities that might cause stress or discomfort to the animals.

We recommend purchasing souvenirs to remember your visit. This supports a good cause, as proceeds from souvenir sales help maintain the sanctuary. The average cost of an elephant tour is $50. You can explore the various Phuket sanctuaries in our Elephants section.
