10 out of 10 ethical experience
Fantastic couple of hours. We were picked up on time from our hotel by a lovely driver who stopped off for a photo opportunity en route. Clean and spacious bus. The elephant sanctuary was so lovely. Our guide, Siri, spoke excellent English, was so approachable and informative and was happy to answer any questions. We did not feel rushed and got quite close to the elephants and learnt about their rescues and daily life. We have a 5yr old and a 14yr old and they both loved it. The 1.5 hr tour was enough for us and we loved feeding the elephants bananas but respected the no bathing, no riding and no touching the elephants. When you hear about their back stories you will understand why. The work they do at the sanctuary is amazing and it’s such a shame that they need so much money to rescue these beautiful creatures from cruelty. Was fantastic to support the project and would recommend to all, young and old. The caretakers were patient and kind and willing to help with family photos. Complimentary Thai tea and coffee at the beginning, clean toilets, a gift shop and were all given a bottle of water before the tour. Places to wash hands too. If it rains they have welly boots and umbrellas etc to lend you.

Bukit Elephant Park, a pleasant discovery ❤️
A short but truly unforgettable experience! For about 15 minutes we had the opportunity to feed the elephants with bananas and watermelon, experiencing an exciting moment in full respect of these magnificent animals. Upon arrival they welcomed us with an excellent Thai coffee or tea, while at the end of the activity we were offered water, a very appreciated gesture. The staff was friendly, helpful, and well organized. If you visit Phuket, the Bukit Elephant Park is an experience that I absolutely recommend!

Brilliant!
Great price, the guide was excellent, and told us about the elephants upsetting background, it’s great to see how they now have such an amazing free life! The guide was also entertaining and funny which made the experience very joyful. They are so well looked after and the experience that we had was magical! Would highly recommend!

An unforgettable, yet ethical experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I can’t recommend this elephant sanctuary enough. Every elephant here has been rescued from a life of cruelty and hard labor, and seeing them living freely and happily is something I’ll never forget. Our guide, Gift, was incredible. She struck the perfect balance between education and experience. She taught us about the dark reality of elephant tourism and how these gentle giants are often enslaved and abused, while also sharing each elephant’s unique story and personality. It was powerful, emotional, and deeply respectful. The whole visit was beautifully run and thoughtfully planned, with just the right mix of learning, activity, and interaction. There was no unnecessary waiting, and everything flowed naturally. Each elephant also has a dedicated caretaker who clearly loves and understands them, spending every day ensuring their comfort and happiness. What makes this place truly special is knowing that every visit directly supports both the care of current rescues and the rescue of more elephants in the future. The elephants live in wide, open spaces where they can roam freely, eat well, and simply be elephants. If you want a genuine, ethical, and heartwarming elephant experience, support this sanctuary instead of the unethical ones that still chain, beat, and exploit these amazing animals. This place restores your faith in what animal tourism should b

Smooth and amazing encounter with gentle giants
We wanted to see Thai elephants in their natural habitat and the closest easiest sanctuary/conservatory is Bukit Park in Phuket. We booked online £10 for seeing and feeding elephants and its so well organised. We travelled via taxi which we booked personally via Grab and reached Bukit 20 mins from our hotel. There is free water, cold towel, coffee/thai tea upon arrival. The experience is well planned, not rushed and the staff takes photos for your family too. Each family is given a basket of bananas (each family member) to feed the elephants. You can touch the elephants gently as well. Lasted 30 - 40 mins. There is a souvenir shop on site with lovely items.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity take?
+
Plan for about 0.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 0.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Feed Me Banana Elephant Experience Short Activity start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
