Fabulous experience carried out by incredibly friendly and personal team. A mesmerising day’s activity.

We had the amazingly friendly and chatty Sem (fluent in English) pick us up from where we were staying and take us to the elephant jungle for an unparalleled hands on, personal, and immersive tour. We fed and wandered around with the elephants and it was simply phenomenal.

Following this we had a delicious meal including fruit we had spied in the jungle and the rice grown from the very paddies we were sitting by.

After lunch we then went rafting which was terrific fun. It struck the perfect blend between safe and thrilling. Finally we experienced the Mae Kong waterfall which was our first in Chiangmai area (and I imagine may well be our best).

If you’re looking for a fun interactive, friendly, hands on and personal experience these are your guys - highlight of our trip!!!

Excellent trip, beautiful location, well looked after elephants

We had such a lovely time with Chiang Mai elephant care! Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable on everything to do with the elephants.

We loved our time at the sanctuary, the elephants look well cared for, with lots of room to roam around the jungle.

The transport was modern, clean and air conditioned. They were very punctual in picking us up from our accomodation!

I’d have no hesitation in recommending this tour to a friend or family member!
