My 18 year old daughter and I did the 1 day tour. Our tour leader was Boy. He was excellent. Informative, funny, helpful. He made the experience great. The 2 hour ride there and back is bumpy at times but the views are worth the drive. One of our best days in Thailand. 3 elephants, two were off mating. Very ethical. Feeding and a jungle walk with the elephants as they forage. Gentle giants with lots of up close and personal time. Pictures taken for free, excellent lunch. Great company to give back to as they truly care about the well being of these animAls and providing the best natural environment for them. Highly recommend this tour over others.

Hola:
Fuimos un grupo de 6 personas de vacaciones a Tailandia y, sin duda, el día que pasamos en Elephant Land ha sido el mejor. Todo fue especial, desde el viaje en tuc - tuc al principio, en ranchera después hasta la reserva, llegar allí, conocer a su gente y a los elefantes, darles de comer, tocarles, hacer una ruta con ellos, llegar a la cascada, bañarnos con ellos, .... no hay palabras para describir la magia de ese día. Recomendable para todo el mundo, un lugar y unas gentes que tratan con inmenso cariño a los elefantes, que te hacen disfrutar de cada momento, ... y con los que finalmente compartes una exquisita comida tradicional. Un dia maravilloso, en el que compartimos experiencias, muchísimas risas y, sobre todo, en el que nos acercamos a una realidad preciosa e incontable en palabras.
Gracias a todos, en especial al equipo por su excelente trato y por darnos la oportunidad de vivir algo tan bonito.

I had the best day in Thailand the day spent with the elephants. I was fortunate enough to be the only one on the tour so you can only imagine the one on one time I had with these beautiful animals. I highly, highly recommend this company.
I did my homework before booking this tour and ensure to not support any animal abuse company.
You end the day at this beautiful waterfall....best I ve ever seen...
Please do yourself a favor and book this tour!!!!!

This place is paradise!
I just had my best day ever in Thailand at Elephantland! The elephants are well treated... as a matter of fact, they are free to go in the jungle but they are coming back for the food they gave them. The owners are just really nice and warm. They never beat the elephants and don\\\'t even have stick. They just talk to the elephants in their own old language and the elephants follow us. We could see and feel that the elephants were happy and free
They also cooked us a really nice lunch after the walk in the jungle and then we mud bath the elephants and went to a nice waterfall.
It\'s take 2 hours to go from the city of Chiang Mai and they took me up at my hostel in the morning, brought me back at the end. The ride itself is really beautiful for an hour. As we get into the mountains, we saw rice fields and small villages in the jungle. It really bumpy but I felt safe.
Don\'t hesitate to book you elephant tour with this company!
They were really amazing!

“Please come and see”
I am not someone who really takes the time to write reviews but this experienced touched my best friend and I so much that I had to.
I researched for nearly 2 weeks and actually picked another Sanctuary but due to a dodgy customer service representative and advice from my hotel about animal welfare and most \"Sanctuary\'s\" actually renting elephants and not actually rescuing them, I chose here. This has been an incredible experience with Mr Boy and his team and the most wonderful, friendly, cheeky (we had one \"jail break\" so it could join us for lunch) elephants in all Chang Mai.
The thing is, these elephants are loved, cared for, no whips or chains. They are well fed (as are we my goodness the food was better than our hotel) and so friendly!
I could really go on and on about how amazing this place is. There is nothing I would change except maybe a slightly bigger mattress in the hut (we stayed overnight - yes under the stars in a cabin nearby with elephants roaming the jungle - how can u beat that). We trekked for food and medicine, fed and bathed and played with the elephants and just listened to the most amazing and heartwarming stories from our caring loving host and his team.
If your after Commercial, overcrowded experiences that are established: try elsewhere. If u want to look a happy elephant in the eye as u feed and bathe it: come here!!
Thank you Changmai Elephantland and see you in April!!
Oh yes.....as u can see we had lunch on the second day UNDER a waterfall with Mr Boy and his friend making our lunch AND the chopsticks and plates......I love this place!!
