Thailand:Koh Lanta Elephant Sanctuary Experience with Transfers

  • Ko Lanta
  • • Wildlife & Nature
  • • Duration 2 hour

Description

Experience an ethical elephant encounter at Following Giants Koh Lanta Ethical Elephant Sanctuary, a forest sanctuary dedicated to observing rescued elephants in a natural environment.

The experience follows a no-touch, no-feeding, no-bathing and no-riding approach. Instead of interacting with the elephants for entertainment, guests walk through the forest with an English-speaking guide and observe the elephants as they move, graze and behave naturally. The guide explains the elephants' individual personalities, rescue backgrounds and natural behaviour, as well as the surrounding forest ecosystem.

Meeting instruction:

Guests should report 30 minutes before the scheduled activity at the designated meeting point.
