Le sanctuaire des éléphants était vraiment bien et le guide a bien expliqué leur histoire. Mais le reste de la journée m'a un peu déçu - la cascade était très modeste en cette période de l'année et le jardin magique semblait fermé ou peu entretenu. Le déjeuner au restaurant de montagne était correct mais basique. Je recommanderais quand même pour les éléphants seuls mais je m'attendais à plus pour le reste.

We did this with a group of 4 adults and it was a fun day. The elephant sanctuary is clearly the right kind of place - no riding, animals in good condition. The guide was good though his English was occasionally hard to follow for the more detailed explanations. The 4WD sections were exciting and the mountain views were brilliant.

That 4WD ride up the jungle tracks to the temple is worth the price of the tour on its own.

I asked the guide on the way back if the same elephants had been there since the sanctuary opened and he told me some of their stories in detail - one had been rescued from a tourist camp where it had been forced to carry people for 14 hours a day. Understanding that background made the time I spent feeding her feel like the most important thing I did in Thailand.

I specifically looked for an ethical elephant experience in Samui and this was the best option I found. The Samui Elephant Home is clearly run by people who genuinely care - the animals look relaxed and healthy and the guide's knowledge about each elephant's history is remarkable. The feeding session was one of the most memorable hours of my whole trip to Thailand. The rest of the tour is great too but honestly the elephants are the reason to book this.
