Samui Elephant Haven offers shortened morning tours with professional, informative, and caring guides. Guests will learn some fascinating facts about these gentle pachyderms. Emphasis is on observing the elephants interact, play, and express their instincts in a habitat that would be natural to them and with limited human interaction.
The Haven has many elephants in their care including Somboon and her baby bull Haven, the two nannies Sudarat and Sri Nin, the cheeky girls Molorair, Kwan Samui, and Nong Pech, the boys Plai Bang and Sorn Ram, not to mention Aom and her four-year-old boy Perm Poon. During the tour, guests will meet them all and discover their personal histories.
Observing the tightly knit herds socializing freely, communicating with each other, and providing comical ‘turns’; is an experience a visitor will never forget.
There are many photography opportunities; guests are reminded not to forget their cameras!
Samui Elephant Haven does not offer riding or bathing.
Until the park fully opens, the cost does not include transportation or lunch. Please note that guests are required to wear masks and practice physical distancing.
