Which elephant program is right for you?

Program A (1.5 hours) is a short, gentle encounter with feeding, a forest walk, mud spa and bathing — ideal if you have limited time or are travelling with young children.

Program B (half day, 3 hours) is our most popular choice: walk through the forest, feed the baby elephants, prepare elephant food, then enjoy the mud spa and river bathing together.

Program C (3 hours) adds a hands-on poo paper making workshop, where you learn how elephant dung becomes eco-friendly handmade paper.

Program D (full day, 7–8 hours) combines elephant care and poo paper making with a Thai set lunch, a visit to the Emerald Pool and the Hot Spring. Minimum 2 adults.

What’s included

Every program includes hotel pick-up and drop-off from Ao Nang, Klong Muang and Krabi Town, fruit for the elephants and drinking water. Guests staying on Railay, Koh Lanta or Koh Phi Phi are picked up at the nearest pier. Infants aged 0–3 join free.

Booking tips

Please book online at least 12 hours in advance — we keep groups small for the elephants’ comfort. Bring a change of clothes, swimsuit, towel and sandals; shower rooms are available after the mud spa and bathing.
