What to expect

Seeing Asian elephants from a few metres away is one of life's must-do experiences – so this trip is a big tick on the bucket list. Head to an elephant park in Khao Lak, and you'll get to go behind-the-scenes to learn all there is to know about these gentle giants. And after, you'll finish off with a delicious Thai lunch.

The morning begins with great views over the Andaman Sea as you pass through Khao Lak National Park. Nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty is one of Thailand's best parks for rescued elephants. Arriving at its beautiful lagoon setting, you'll waste no time in getting hands on.

Learning all about the project's conservation efforts, you'll help to care for these gentle giants. The sanctuary enforces the highest ethical standards, and inviting only small-group visits means this is a true safe haven for these incredible creatures. You'll also get to relax with a foot spa and craft a nature-inspired eco-print souvenir, before wrapping up your experience with a delicious Thai lunch to reflect on the day.

    We purchased this trip to bath elephants a year ago at the same time as booking holiday. Due to policy change at the elephant sanctuary they no longer allow you to bath elephants. This information was not passed on to us by Tui who happily took our money and forgot about us. Also the guide was one hour late picking us up and did not communicate this to us. We would have chosen a different sanctuary had we known the experience. Our children were disappointed because of expectations not being met.

    This still was fantastic. From the minute we were picked up until we were dropped off the guide was very informative and explained everything effectively. The elephants themselves were outstanding. We really enjoyed making and feeding them there food. The whole experience couldn't have been better. The only thing problem was the large number of steep steps we had to climb down, about 100 in total. This trip is not suitable for people with mobility issues.
