Escape the hustle of the city for a 1.5-hour, welfare-first journey at the Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary in Sakhu. This observe-only morning or afternoon retreat allows you to connect with rescued elephants through education and a respectful distance.
From a stunning 120-meter elevated canopy walkway, you can watch the herd roam, forage, bathe, and play in the mud naturally—completely free from human disturbance. Alongside this peaceful viewing experience, you will learn about the daily lives of these gentle giants by helping prepare nutritious vitamin balls for their meals. Complete your eco-friendly adventure by crafting a DIY recycled bottle-cap keychain, and relax with complimentary snacks and coffee surrounded by the tranquil coastal pine forest.
