One of a kind experience. Ethical elephant sanctuary where you can see how happy the elephants are, and the true relationship they have with all of the “mahouts” (guides) and other staff. A walk along and bath in the river with the elephants was the highlight, and something I will never ever forget. Extremely kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable staff, thank you Mong! A great traditional Thai lunch and an easy hike to a beautiful waterfall with Monk’s praying. Nothing like it. Couldn’t recommend more!
Optámos pela experiência de 1 dia inteiro e valeu apena.
A escolha deste santuário foi pensada no bem estar dos animais e nas boas práticas. Recomendo!!! Os tratadores são simpáticos e nota-se a ligação que têm com os animais.

the best experience of my entire trip
It was the best experience of my entire trip, literally priceless (although it's really fairly pricey anyway). They are really majestic creatures.

A Once in Lifetime experience ever with the Gentle Giants ! An afternoon making their food, walking and bathing them!
This was a Once in a Lifetime experience for my wife and I. An unforgettable afternoon with these beautiful, serene and calm gentle giants for whom we made their food, walked with them along the streams , bathed them and finally fed them. Hats off to the team at Elephant Freedom Project for making this a memorable experience including showing us the waterfalls nearby. We have so much respect for what they do and for allowing us to spend time with their elephants.

Half-day afternoon tour in march 2026
The experience was absolutely amazing. I never experienced something that awesome in my life before. The elephants were treated with great respect and were not forced to do anything, which was also very important to us personally. For me it was 10/10 :)
