Great value for money, this tour was well worth the price. A lot was included and the guide spoke very good english. It was clear that the handlers cared and loved for the elephants very much. Elephant ride was just the perfect length of time too. The lunch was OK but it was free so I can't complain.

Not as impressive I the other Elephant tours starting from Bangkok for the National Park, Elephants are extremely exhausted, not in a mood for continuous rides by tourists, and they all stop (refuse to move) after every few steps! overall was average, not that great!, but for the fact that it takes 1 hour only, it's of the OK side, especially if you have to catch a plane in the afternoon :)

Crazy experience but a must do, ther are many opportunities to do this, photoessays are great but guides at mid point pull a tray of cheap plastic jewelry and give a sales pitch....... Not good

Thoroughly relaxing tour of the jungle, the guides pointed out when they saw local wildlife, lizards, snakes and others animals. Stopped to show how the sap from the rubber tree was taken. This was an enjoyable experience.

Once again the van driver and tour guide through The local tour company you used was great. He made the day for us. One hour ride fit perfectly into our travels as the jungle was hot!

The elephants seemed to be treated well. Although id rather see them roaming free. Our guide was good. And the lunch buffet was good. But a lot of stations and opportunities to buy stuff. Have to be patient if elephants are what you came for, but well worth it.

What a fantastic day, so much to see and do as well as the elephant ride. We learnt about Thai cooking, making coconut oil and milk, growing rice and even bullock rides if you wanted. We didn't realize so much was involved and will certainly be going back again. The highlight though was the elephant ride through great forrest and overlooking terrific ocean views. Five star all the way.

This was the most amazing trip, my family and I had so much fun and learnt so much too. Our guide was excellent and the Mahouts were wonderful with their elephants. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone going to Phuket.

This tour is excellent. I had done it 3 yrs ago on my last visit to Phuket and its even better. Our guide was such a happy girl and very informative. The pace of the tour is really good as well -dont feel rushed at all. Highly recommended.

Highlight of this tour is obviously the elephant ride but the rest is pretty good too. Joy was lovely and informative.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. After hearing other tourist comments about their elephant tours (NOT with this company) I was not sure what we would encounter. This company is so humane in the welfare of the elephants that it was an absolute joy being there and around these magnificent animals. The gentle ride through the jungle was fantastic and the view from the back of the elephant was breath taking. The guided tour through a traditional Thai village was so informative and lunch served aboard a large boat just made the whole day extremely memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Thailand.
