We hope you can find some activities that interest you in our Activities Directory.
Our aim is simple: to give you the best experience possible during your stay on our beautiful island!
Please note that although we work with (who we consider to be) the best and most trustworthy tour ope-
rators, please note that occasionally, there may be some program amendments beyond our control, such

as inclement weather or tariff changes. We are lucky to have not one, but two, elephant sanctuaries in Samui, both offering a safe haven for elephants that
have been rescued from working in tourism. It is important to note that they are the only 100% ethical sanctua-
As such, we cannot be held responsible if there are some last minute or unexpected changes to the details ries on the island. The family that operates the sanctuaries has worked with elephants for many generations and is
here. motivated by the common goal of freeing elephants from a hard life by providing a caring home where they can
recover from the trauma of their past and live with peace and dignity.
If you would like advice on what to take on your trip, please feel free to ask us.
Guests to either sanctuary have the unforgettable experience of learning about elephants while feeding them and

Guido and the team. This is one of the best experiences Samui has to offer and by visiting either venue, you are supporting a sustainable,
ethical and a compassionate approach to elephant tourism.
Itinerary:
• On arrival you will watch an informative video about the sanctuary and its work including an explanation as to
why Thailand’s elephants need to be protected.
• Next comes the fun part! Elephants eat literally tons of food every week and you will be invited to help feed
them. This ‘up close’ encounter is magical; you can almost see the elephants smiling as they enjoy their treats!
• You can then walk with the elephants and be invited to quietly observe as they express their joy at being free
in nature
• The visit ends with a delicious vegetarian Thai buffet.
Please note:
• Complimentary drinking water, coffee and tea are included.
