“What a terrific experience from start to finish. Our guide Bit (Big Bit!) is the man. Full of local knowledge about native plants, elephants and the region, he’s also pretty darn funny. The trip was everything advertised - and then some. The bamboo raft ride was an amazing start, followed by a short hike to a cool waterfall and a delicious local lunch. At the Pon Elephant Sanctuary, we got plenty of up close and personal experience with the elephants and it all seemed caring, ethical and humane, starting with some in-water frolicking and ending with preparing and feeding some special digestive food. In between was a great little hike…”

“Dewy did a great Job! A very professional and kind Guide who loves what he does. Also all people next to him at the Elephant Sanctuary are giving their best for the Elephants. A great trip from start to end with very nice nature, many happy Elephants and good Food as well. Definitely a recommendation!”

“Great day out. So good to see the elephants. Keepers were so caring to the elephants - and the guests! Thank you all. Recommended!”

“Everything was absolutely great!!! Our guide Fluke made our time there also memorable. His English was perfect and taught us many things about the tribes etc. He was very friendly and funny, but also very professional!! I recommend this activity to everyone!! It is better also than described. Elephants also were spectacular and very happy!! Perfect memories!! Thank you all and special thanks to our guide Fluke!!!”

“This experience was absolutely amazing. Getting to learn about the elephants was super cool and spending a day with them where you are so close and immersed in their care was a surreal experience. You can tell the elephants are truly so happy and cared for here and all of the staff are fantastic”

“That is a great call—mentioning the ethical treatment and the food adds a lot of credibility to a review. Here is the updated version of Option 2, polished and ready to post: The Perfect Review "We had the most incredible day at Sanctuary Elephants Lanna. The environment is beautiful, but what truly impressed us was their ethical approach. It’s clear that the elephants are treated with deep respect and care; there was no rushing or forced interaction. We spent a significant amount of time just sharing space and bonding with these gentle giants, which felt incredibly authentic. A huge thank you to Alex, who was absolutely divine! He was so…”

“Great time. Longer than half a day. Worth it 100 percent. Hosts were great. We had poppy and another young man. They were fun and took safety seriously. Lunch was good too. I would suggest doing the rafting as well as there is no extra time added to the trip.”

“Love this experience! Real authentic and well organized! Our guide mr Sumit is amazing! Lovely day ❤️”

“This tour was truly worth every single cent. From the very first moment, everything was just right, a great guide and driver, perfect organization, and three truly unique experiences shared with an amazing group. I was deeply impressed by every single one: the huge, majestic stupas, the incredible jungle hike, and the unforgettable, moving encounter with the elephants. These are memories I will cherish forever.”

“The guides were special, wonderful personalities. Shout out to Poll, very good guide with his friend.”

“The sticky waterfall was fun & a great experience. But you need to have same degree of fitness. The elephants was amazing we walked in the jungle with the elephants watch them bath feed them. Finished the trip with a bamboo raft triRead more”

“Loved to see the baby elephants and how happy they were. Loved to learn more about the elephants and the daily activities. Awesome experience!”

“The temperature in the mountains is cooler than the city. Walking shoes and insect repellent are essential. Be prepared to get muddy & wet.”

“What an incredible tour! The guides were very informative and kind, and the elephants were so lovely and playful.”

“Had a wonderful day with the family. My daughter seemed more interested in the dogs, but it was all wonderful”
