Enjoy close encounters with pachyderms at Samui Elephant Kingdom on this tour. Set off on a short drive to the locally-owned elephant sanctuary that is dedicated to the conservation and care of these huge mammals. After a warm welcome, learn about the elephant’s favorite food. See the Napier grass plantation, a steady source of food for the elephants. Lend a hand in cooking supplementary food, such as high energy power balls, for the pachyderms in the large kitchen. Walk on a 1,312 feet long skywalk that lets you observe the gentle giants from a vantage viewpoint. You can watch as they forage for food in their natural habitat, or even feed them a basket of fruits. From your knowledgeable guide, learn about their behavior and the distinguishing features that set each member of the herd apart. Watch as the elephants enjoy a mud spa and bathe in the water. If you like, you could even go on a walk with the elephants. Finally, relish a Thai vegetarian buffet meal, followed by seasonal fruits, before it’s time to wrap up your visit.
