Situated in central Krabi, this sanctuary operates as a travel agency and tour provider specializing in responsible elephant encounters. All elephants on site are rescued animals, and the sanctuary's approach centers on their welfare rather than performance — visitors observe and participate in the elephants' natural daily routines rather than watching shows or riding. The combination of knowledgeable, attentive staff and a genuinely care-focused environment has made it a standout experience among visitors to the region.
Tour options include a shorter half-hour feeding experience as well as longer half-day visits of around three hours, with hotel transfers available. Activities typically involve feeding the elephants with prepared food, learning about each animal's rescue story, and spending time with them in their natural habitat. Group sizes are kept small — visitors report being among roughly four elephants per group — which allows for an intimate and unhurried experience. Guides are praised for their warmth, knowledge, and evident affection for the animals.

Reviews from Google
We found the most respectful and loving environment for the elephants and the most beautiful and touching experience for us! The staff is amazing and friendly, they treated us respectfully and acted very kindly towards the elephants. We were scared of the elephants at first, being such bug animals, but her expertise and passion made us gain confidence and love these beautiful giants. She told us the story of the place and how she started rescuing elephants from exploitation. The elephants are happy and relaxed and they have a lot of space to swim and be free, also space in the jungle that is dedicated to them and private, meaning that no one goes there exept the elephants. The tours are organized based on the elephants’ needs instead of touristic exploitation, you can only meet and feed them during their eating times! We hope more people can help this beautiful mission, instead of spending money on riding and places that mistreat these animals. We loved this freedom approach and the passion of the workers and especially of the owner!! Super recommended to everyone!!!! PS they also took beatiful puctures of us feeding the elephants, thank you for that:)
We did the half an hour feeding tour with transfers from our hotel lobby and back. 100% recommended this experience to anyone. I love that it was compact but very wholesome and the number 1 priority is the elephants well being over making the tourists happy. We had such a lovely time feeding the elephants and would definitely go back. The snack provided at the end was very refreshing.
We loved it – it was a perfect trip! You can really tell how much love and care goes into the work there and how much they truly care about the animals. We were a group of 10 people and 4 elephants, which was very pleasant. The pickup also worked out perfectly. We would book it again anytime.
