Immerse yourself in an unforgettable experience where elephants lead the way.
If you're short on time but still want to do something meaningful on Koh Lanta, this 2-hour jungle walk is a beautiful way to connect with elephants in an ethical, hands-off way. Unlike many elephant experiences that focus on feeding or riding, this one lets the elephants lead the way—literally. You’ll walk behind them as they roam freely through the forest, learning about their individual stories and how they were rescued.This isn’t your typical animal encounter. The focus here is on conservation, not entertainment. It’s perfect for conscious travellers who want to support ethical tourism and see elephants in a gentle, respectful setting. Plus, you’ll learn loads about the surrounding jungle—from herbs and trees to insects and wildlife—guided by locals who really care.What to ExpectGuided jungle walk following rescued elephants in their natural habitatInsightful stories about each elephant's journey and behaviorLearn about jungle herbs, trees, and other local wildlifeWatch a short conservation video to understand the sanctuary’s missionFresh fruit and relaxing end to your walkThis is a join-in program, with up to 20 people per group.

You can also travel by car and ferry combination, which is the most common way to get to the island. Please keep in mind that there is no bridge connecting Koh Lanta to the mainland, so the car will need to be ferried across.If you are staying in Ao Nang or Krabi Town, please plan ahead to ensure you have enough time to travel to Koh Lanta. This will involve both a car transfer to the ferry port and the ferry ride to the island.Cancellation PolicyBookings canceled within 48 hours prior to the start time: Full refund.Bookings canceled within 24 hours prior to the start time: Non-refundable.No Show (Failure to join the program without prior notice): Non-refundable.Complaints or refund requests must be submitted in writing within 24 hours after the tour ends.The Service Provider reserves the right to adjust the program due to local conditions, emergencies, or animal behavior.

This is a peaceful sanctuary tucked away in the lush greenery of Koh Lanta-Krabi. After seeing the harm caused by traditional elephant tourism, they set out to do things differently—creating a space where rescued elephants could enjoy life on their own terms. At the sanctuary, there’s no riding or shows—just quiet moments spent watching elephants roam, play, and interact naturally. Visitors are gently guided through the experience, learning what makes these animals so special. Their calm, thoughtful approach has shaped them into more than just a visit—it’s a chance to connect with elephants in a way that feels right for them. It’s clear that the well-being of the animals comes first in every part of the day.
