5.00We had the best time learning about the elephants and their life at the Hidden Forest Elephant Sanctuary. At their heart they care about the elephants like they are family members. Each elephant has a personality that they have taken their tjme to get to know. There is a presentation on how to properly care for elephants so no paintings, bathing or touching the elephants. We observe them as they are naturally. We fed them bananas, watched them eat sugar cane and other foods they like. We saw them bathe while we had a wonderful vegetarian lunch. This sanctuary does really look after the elephants. Each one has their person who looks after them. I know there are a lot of "sanctuaries" out there but this one was the most ethical in it's treatment and care for the animals. I loved feeding them and enjoyed watching them just be. This was the highlight of our holiday. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I can't recommend this place more highly. Truly magic.
Amazing place! Highly recommended.

5.00Great place. They obviously put the welfare of these rescued elephants first. Nice structure to the tour - walking between several different areas, including two where you can feed the elephants some bananas. Educational and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Tasty late lunch thrown in too! If you want to see elephants without being a terrible human being, this is the place to go! Loved it. Make sure to wear mosquito repellent though - I forgot and was absolutely savaged!
A real gem!

5.00What a fantastic way to spend 3 hours! We arranged it via their website and it was all very simple. Everything worked like clockwork- pick up and delivery back all party of the service. We began with a really informative and fun talk from one of the local guides and then we went round in relaxed groups feeding the elephants, watching them play in the water and more feeding! You are able to get up really close to the elephants and the guides were incredible with their knowledge. The best part is that this is a truly ethical experience - the elephants have been rescued and now live a free and social life in this beautiful paradise. Definitely worth it!
Unique lifetime experience

5.00It’s truly unique experience in this elephant sanctuary in the forests of Phuket. Did the research online and this is one of if not the best ethical sanctuary you can visit here. Program starts with an educational part where you learn about all the elephants how they arrived. Then the team proceeds to the feeding area where you can feed bananas to elephants from a distance. Team is with you all the time, very informative , very detailed explanation of their day-to-day life relationship, with the caretakers, and general overview of the sanctuary. Tour takes roughly 2 1/2 hours with lunch included, a great selection of buffet menu while you watch the elephants bathe. I recommend everyone to experience this
This is an absolute must do

5.00Had the best experience at Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve today. Watching the elephant's in a natural setting was completely amazing. The owners and staff are so friendly and their priority is the welfare of their elephant's saved from non-ethical establishments. A must do
The best elephant trip I've ever been on. All money worth

Truly ethical and wonderful elephant sanctuary

5.00We travelled from the north of phuket to go to this elephant sanctuary and we are so glad we did. We have been to other elephant sanctuaries before which have not been very nice but I can confirm this one is super ethical. They absolutely look after their wonderful elephants that they have rescued from logging, elephant rides and other cruelty. No chains only care and love. You can't ride them or wash them and quite rightly so, that is not fair to elephants. Instead you get to feed them a few bananas and watch them in all their glory being happy and looked after elephants. The staff genuinely care about their animals. Our kids loved it and we would highly recommend visiting this sanctuary in the knowledge it is truly ethical. Also the lunch we were served was delicious. Thanks so much for a wonderful morning, we loved it. Xxx
Heart full. Peaceful afternoon wandering around with these graceful creatures

5.00I researched a lot of so called elephant "sanctuaries" in Phuket when deciding where to take our 8 year old. We wanted her to understand how important it was to chose an animal experience that actually benefited the animals. That is why we visited this beautiful sanctuary. There was no doubt that the staff and owners truly respect their role of the rehabilitation of these beautiful creatures. The tour was amazing and staff were incredibly helpful. The buffet meal was delicious too! We booked private transport (through the website) for convenience. It was all very seamless. This sanctuary does not do bookings through third party agents as they want all proceeds returning to the care of the elephants. So kudos to them.
