Koh Samui: Elephant Kingdom Sanctuary Half-Day Tour - The welcome and elephant basics you actually use

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,301 reviews · 3 hours · from $96Our pick

Ethical elephant sanctuary half-day in Koh Samui: medicine ball making, a 400-meter skywalk, and a Thai and Western buffet lunch.

“What an absolutely incredible experience . The transport was part of the package which takes away the stress of getting there. The experience itself - wow. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable. The tour is ethical and focussed around the elephants. You get to feed them from the sky walk which is great fun. New the medicine balls and get to meet some of them in a structured way. Well worth the money and would highly recommend”
