Ko Lanta Yai: Half-Day Ethical Elephant Sanctuary Tour

Ethical Elephant Sanctuary Experience: Mud Spa & Eco-Paper Crafting

Experience a heartwarming encounter with Thailand’s gentle giants at our ethical elephant sanctuary. This immersive journey offers you a unique opportunity to interact with elephants in their natural habitat, focusing on their well-being, conservation, and happiness.

Morning or Afternoon Departure

Choose the schedule that fits your travel plans! We offer two sessions daily:

• Morning Session: Hotel pickup between 07:30 – 08:00 AM.

• Afternoon Session: Hotel pickup between 13:00 – 13:30 PM.

Upon arrival, our professional English-speaking guides will introduce you to the sanctuary’s history and the individual stories of our rescued elephants, ensuring you understand the importance of ethical tourism.

Interaction, Mud Spas & Bathing

Start your friendship by offering fresh bananas to these majestic creatures. Once you’ve bonded, it’s time to get hands-on! Follow the elephants into the natural mud pool for a revitalizing mud spa. Just as we use sunscreen, elephants apply mud to protect their skin from the sun and insects.

After the mud session, head to the water pool for a refreshing bath. Help us brush and exfoliate their skin, providing them with a relaxing and pampering experience they truly enjoy.

Nutritional Care & Herbal Medicine

Go behind the scenes to learn about elephant health. You will participate in preparing special herbal medicine balls—a nutrient-rich supplement essential for their digestive health and overall vitality. Feeding them these handmade treats is the perfect moment for unforgettable photos.

Eco-Friendly Souvenirs: Elephant Dung Paper

To conclude your visit, discover our sustainable practices by learning how we transform elephant dung into eco-friendly paper. This fascinating recycling process is a testament to our commitment to the environment. You’ll even get to take a piece of this unique “eco-paper” home as a souvenir for your friends and family!
