Half-Day Afternoon Adventure
A Soulful Day in the Jungle — Walk, Feed, Bathe & Bond with Elephants
Program Highlights
Spend your afternoon deep in the green hills of Chiang Mai, walking side-by-side with rescued elephants and experiencing their natural rhythm.
Enjoy slow, soulful connection — ending with a playful splash in the river during golden hour.
Meet the Elephants & Learn Their Stories
A short, heart-led introduction to our elephants. Learn about where they came from, how they’ve healed, and how your visit supports their future.
Make Elephant Food by Hand
Roll vitamin balls from fruits, herbs, and grains. It’s messy, fun, and your elephant will love them.
Feeding Time
Get up close and feed the elephants — feel the gentle strength of their trunks and watch them light up.
Walk Through Nature
Stroll through the forest and let the elephants choose their path. You’ll walk, pause, graze, and simply be.
Bathing in the River
Join the elephants for a sunset soak. Wash, scrub, splash — it’s peaceful, playful, and unforgettable.
Lunch (or Early Dinner) & Shower
Enjoy delicious Thai food at the sanctuary, then rinse off and relax before heading back to the city.

Customer Reviews
What our customers are saying about us.
"The afternoon trip was exactly what we needed! We loved being able to take our time in the morning and then head out for this amazing experience. Watching the elephants head down to the river for their evening bath and mud wallow as the sun started to lower was truly beautiful and very peaceful. It's clear how much love the staff have for their charges. The perfect end to our day"
"If you're looking for a respectful and memorable encounter, book the afternoon visit. The drive out of Chiang Mai was scenic, and the whole experience—from the informative briefing to the interaction—was run professionally and ethically. It felt great to see the elephants enjoying the cooler part of the day. A truly heartfelt and authentic visit."
"Fantastic experience! We opted for the afternoon slot because we wanted to explore the city in the morning, and it worked out perfectly. The sanctuary was quiet, and we had plenty of time to feed the elephants and interact with the guides. Everything was respectful and centered on the animals' welfare. The seasonal fruit snack before the drive back was a nice touch, too!"
