Itinerary

Briefing & Introduction

We commence the Half-Day Elephant Care Adventure by briefing you on the program, what to expect and safety rules around the elephants. Lockers are available for any valuables, and we provide mosquito spray to ensure your protection and comfort throughout the program. Raincoats and umbrellas are also available in the case of rain.

Meet & Feed the Elephants

The first activity is to prepare the elephants’ food, which typically consists of bananas, sugarcane, watermelon, cucumber, and other yummy elephant treats. Did you know that elephants can eat up to 10% of their body weight daily? Elephants have a massive appetite and require a LOT of elephant food!

Herbal Treatment

Next, we need to prepare the nutritious herbal and vitamin balls for the elephants’ daily diet which consists of pumpkin, sticky rice, tamarind, bananas, and vitamins. These are particularly important for any elephant with teeth issues that are unable to eat harder foods and help ensure the elephants balanced diet.

Elephant Dung Recycling Center

While the herbal and vitamin balls are being further prepared, guests visit our special Elephant Dung Recycling Center with hands-on learning on how to make beautiful colourful recycled paper from elephant dung. This is particularly popular for the kids! We also have a paper craft activity teaching you how to make a beautiful paper flower from the recycled elephant dung paper which guests can keep to take home.

Elephant Jungle Nature Hike

Next up is one of the biggest highlights of the program, the Elephant Jungle Nature Hike, where you get to walk side-by-side with our huge rescued elephants through our lush jungle trails. We provide longer 30-minute and shorter 10-minute options depending on your fitness level. A truly amazing experience with our beautiful elephants in their natural and lush jungle surroundings!

Hydrotherapy Pool

After all that exercise, it’s time for the elephants to cool down in our unique Hydrotherapy Pool, where they are able to swim, splash around, and enjoy some more yummy elephant food treats from our visitors!

Mud & Sand Spa

The Sand & Mud Spas enable the elephants to protect their sensitive skin against the sun and insects by covering themselves with mud and sand. Watching the elephants rolling around loving life in their surroundings is another highlight of our program.

Our Elephant Shower Platform is where visitors can help wash and clean the elephants after all their fun in the mud. Elephants also drink a lot of water and you can help give them a drink. Just be sure not to get wet with the elephants!

Delicious Thai lunch

After all the fun, learning, and elephant care activities, visitors move back to our Observation Deck Ban Chang Restaurant Phuket and get ready for a delicious Thai lunch including a cooking demonstration teaching you how to make the famous Pad Thai and Tom Yum dishes!

For those joining our afternoon elephant care adventure program, we commence your program with lunch first followed by the elephant activities.

High quality water bottle

After lunch, visitors help feed the elephants one last time before collecting their complementary stainless steel water bottles and transferring back to their hotels.
