How your visit supports us
Respect Comes First
Elephants are sentient beings — emotional, social, and wise. That’s why we never force them to perform or interact. Every visit is built around their freedom, not our schedule.
Natural Life, Natural Moments
Here, elephants roam freely through forests, nap in the shade, roll in mud, and bathe in clean mountain water. You’ll walk beside them — not behind a rope — and witness who they really are.
Your Visit Helps More Than You Know
When you book a tour with us, you’re doing more than joining a sanctuary visit. You’re helping us care for our herd and support the community we call home.
Your booking directly supports
Ongoing elephant rescue and lifetime care, Salaries and housing for our mahouts & staff, Local school lunches & hill-tribe community programs.
Meet Our Elephants
Our Chiang Mai elephant sanctuary is home to 12 elephants — including 4 baby elephants who were born here and are now growing up safely with their herd. Each elephant has been rescued from difficult pasts and now lives freely in our care. Visiting us means supporting an ethical elephant experience in Chiang Mai, where you can see happy elephants, learn their stories, and witness true family bonds in a natural sanctuary setting.

As you walk beside them, our guides will share their journeys and the moments that brought them home.
Your Visit Experience
More than just fun — this is a mindful day of bonding, care, and joy.
Every moment is designed to respect the elephants and let you connect naturally.
Welcome & Elephant Lesson (30 min)
Begin your visit with a warm hello from our team and a short, heartfelt intro to elephant care. We’ll share their stories, explain basic behaviour, and guide you on how to engage respectfully.
Feed & Walk with the Herd (1 hour)
Help prepare fruit and vitamin snacks — then hand-feed them to our elephants (they’ll remember you forever). Walk alongside them as they roam, snack, and just be elephants in the open space.
River Bath & Playtime (45–60 min)
If they’re in the mood, join the elephants for a splash in the river! Some love mud, some love water, some just want to chill.
We follow their lead.
Thai Lunch & Relaxation (30–45 min)
After all the fun, enjoy a freshly prepared Thai meal with views of the sanctuary. Shower and change if you like — then take a moment to breathe it all in.

What Some Of Our Guests Say
What our customers are saying about us.
"An absolutely enriching experience! I opted for the full-day trip and I'm so glad I did. The extra time allowed us to participate fully in preparing their food, enjoy a relaxed lunch, and spend quality time observing the elephants at their own pace. It never felt rushed, and I walked away with a deep appreciation for their conservation efforts. Worth every penny"
"I took the half-day morning tour, and it was perfectly structured. We got straight into feeding and then the walk through the jungle to watch them graze. It was a beautiful, non-intrusive way to observe the herd. A truly peaceful and educational few hours—the best start to the day in Chiang Mai"
"I came away deeply impressed by the commitment of the staff. Their dedication to the well-being and rehabilitation of the elephants is inspiring. It was clear that welfare comes first, with no hooks or riding—just pure, respectful interaction. If you care about ethical tourism, this is the place to visit in Chiang Mai"
"We had the most wonderful family day out! Our two children (8 and 10) were mesmerized by the elephants. The staff were fantastic at engaging them in the feeding and educational activities, making sure they understood the importance of treating the animals gently. It was safe, fun, and a memory we'll treasure forever"
"Seeing these incredible elephants thrive in such a natural, ethical environment was truly heartwarming. The guides were professional, ensuring all interactions—from feeding to the mud bath—were respectful and safe for both us and the animals. A truly meaningful experience that goes beyond typical tourism. Highly, highly recommend!"
"A profoundly moving experience. You can see the love and dedication the staff have for every single elephant. If you're looking for an ethical sanctuary where the animals' happiness is paramount, this is it. Forget the tourist traps; this is genuine conservation and interaction done right."
