We did the 1hr feeding program. You can see how passionate Noi is about the elephants and the need to rescue more of them. It was very informative and really special to interact with the elephants and to see how they respond to their handlers. Highly recommend the experience. Don't do the trekking and circuses, rather go to a sanctuary and support those that are helping the elephants live the life they deserve to live

I was bought to tears on how incredible this place is for the elephants and for ethical tourism. The tour guides are passionate about creating positive change and it was just amazing to feed the elephants and interact with them for the entire hour!

This was a fantastic experience. The caretakers, and in particular Noi, are very passionate about the need for their elephants to overcome their previous mistreatment and live happier and healthier lives. After hearing about the histories of the elephants there, we made supplement balls that we then fed to the elephants. We were given bananas and sugar cane to feed them as well. The elephants were very gentle and allowed us to pet their trunks and cheeks. This was a very moving experience that I would highly recommend.
