10/10 experience - The whole day was amazing. First we learnt about the elephants and then fed them. Next we walked through the jungle (they went at their own pace and stopped to eat when they wanted). We then went swimming in the waterfall and got out to have tea for the elephants to then have a dip. One of the elephants didn’t want to go in and wasn’t made to. After we made a traditional Thai souvenir to take home with us. The tour guides were amazing and so fun, very helpful and funny. I will be recommending this to everyone I know that is coming to Chiang Mai. Everything about it felt ethical and letting the elephants just be elephants. Thank you so much for the best experience!

An incredible experience - Wonderful place where they take really good care of the elephants. This place is all about the elephants and their needs, not the tourists' and I truly love that. You get to feed and walk with the elephants as well as swim in a Waterfall. It was such a great day and both the drivers, guides and caretakers made sure we had a great while showing us their very happy elephants. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's interested. Their combined trips with a visit to the elephants sanctuary and either rafting/doi inthanon/etc. Are also well planned. I did the elephant sanctuary and doi inthanon combined. Jade was an incredible guide the entire day and made sure we all enjoyed ourselves.
