wow!! this is easily one of the most memorable experiences of my life. i cannot stress enough how captivating this sanctuary is. the elephants welfare and happiness are THE main priority here.
the team here takes pride and honour in it’s transformation into a fully ethical elephant sanctuary, and i highly recommend visiting and supporting such a remarkable place. my friend and i booked on for a full day tour, and we are both extremely thankful we chose this option. from start to finish it was full of beautiful, mesmerising experiences.
we started the day off with a walk through the forest, meeting all of the elephants whilst they wandered freely eating as much food as their trunks could grab. our tour guide nong was absolutely brilliant in regards to being very informative, engaging and caring towards the elephants as well as our tour group.
after our stroll throughout the forest we made a stop to create seed balls. this activity is where we prepare food, then plant it for when rainy season comes around. to make this activity even more fun we got to sling shot the seed balls into the forest where they then go on to develop into food for not only the elephants but other wildlife that live there.
after this, we went back to have lunch and cool down in the shade. the options for food available were unreal. they catered for any dietary requirements and had a selection of foods with meat, as well as vegetables. our tables had a refreshing watermelon drink and fruit freshly prepared for when we arrived there.
once our food had settled we met with our second tour guide called yunut he was our jungle hike guide who took us to a beautiful waterfall called khlong chak. i’ve truly never met somebody so astonishingly passionate about their job. he was a great laugh, and went above and beyond for us. without him we would’ve missed such a variety of interesting wildlife animals. he spotted insects that my friend and i wouldn’t of seen if we were looking at that singular spot all day!! yunut was truly a remarkable guide. thanks to him we got to see scorpions, snakes, bats, lizards, and so much more. my personal favourites were a black widow spider, plenty of tarantulas and a viper snake.
after the jungle adventure packed with fun we headed back to the main spot where drinks and ice creams were offered to us. we had another short cool down before heading to our last activity.
the last activity was so fascinating to witness and take part in. it consisted of watching the process of fibre get extracted from elephant poo and then turning it into paper. i’ve never heard of anything like this before, and to be a part of the process was so entertaining and exciting. as a souvenir we even got to take our paper home with us. with a quick goodbye to the elephants before they headed to their sleep shelter, our day was unfortunately over there.
i truly cannot recommend this sanctuary enough, all of the staff were so accommodating and lovely to be around. their care and support for the elephants was unlike anything i’d ever seen before. i can confidently say we will definitely be returning, and i will never stop talking about this day!!
thank you to every staff member and volunteer for their unconditional love towards elephants and the people who come to visit. you should be so proud of your work :)

This is the most wonderful experience. I went with friends yesterday and it was magical. May our guide was so knowledgeable and made sure everyone understood about all of the elephants, their background and how they are now living a happy protected life. Thank you May for making this unforgettable

We had an amazing experience here Sa was our tour guide and they were very informative and kind. You can tell how much all of the works here care for the elephants and how happy the animals are here. Would recommend following giants over any other elephant sanctuary. Truly an amazing ethical place for these elephants.

We did the private luxury long tail boat tour with ATT and Captain Nus from Railay Eco Tour and it was really good! We visited four islands and with did snorkelling and a picnic on the beach ☺️ we had a great time and ATT was really nice for us and explained some things! We had enough time to explore and we just enjoyed it a lot and we would recommend it!

The experience we had was amazing. Wudy, Cpt. Johnny, and Fahath went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Wudy helped us by taking amazing photos and videos and finding all of the amazing wildlife for us to see underwater. We were very lucky to be able to swim so closely with sharks! My wife and I had the best time and we highly recommend this tour with this team!

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the tour, from A to Z.
The booking process was smooth and I liked how we could communicate via WhatsApp with the tour operator to ask questions and get more details.
The long tail boat was exactly as advertised- beautifully decorated, luxurious and safe.
Our tour guide Daniel was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He charted a good course which gave us plenty of time in each location, where we saw awesome limestone formations and a beautiful sunset at the last island.
We particularly enjoyed a surprise picnic by the beach on one of the islands - food was delicious!

The morning boat tour was a highlight of our time in Krabi. Chareef and Non, the guide and the captain, were so kind and set up our beach picnic lunch beautifully on Koh Poda. The food and fruit were delicious and the views were gorgeous. The boat was much quieter and much more comfortable that the usual long tail boat, and we had the whole boat to ourselves with plenty of privacy, as the captain and the guide were on a separate, closed off part of the boat. I highly recommend doing this boat tour!
