Elephant Sanctuary

Half Day at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Chiang Mai and drive for approximately 1.5 hours to the south, passing through rice fields, hills and traditional villages before entering the jungle. On arrival you’ll meet your English speaking guide who will teach you about the elephants and show you how to feed them bananas and sugarcane. Next you’ll be able to walk around the sanctuary and lead the elephants to a mud spa. Here you’ll be able to interact with these amazing animals as you apply a cosmetic mud spa and join them as they play in a river, after which we’ll change into dry clothes and enjoy snacks and a drink before travelling back to Chiang Mai.

Please note that the Half Day Tour is available in the morning or the afternoon, so be sure to let us know if you’d prefer to be picked up at 6.30- 7am or 11.30- 12pm

Full Day at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Chiang Mai in the morning and drive for approximately 1.5 hours to the south, passing through rice fields, hills and into the jungle. After meeting your English speaking guide you’ll take a short walk to a Karen hill tribe village, where you can change into traditional clothing. You can learn everything from your guide about how the sanctuary protects their animals and the history and culture of the area. Then it’s time to meet the elephants! In small groups, you will meet and interact with each of our friendly elephants personally. Learn about their behaviour, and discover the unique and interesting history of each animal as you touch, play, feed, and photograph them.

After a delicious traditional Thai lunch on our jungle platform we’ll take the elephants down to the river where you can help give them a mud spa and bath. Here you’ll also have a chance to swim and play with the elephants before changing into dry clothes and taking a scenic trek back to the village. Then we’ll return to Chiang Mai for early evening.
