We offer various jungle routes riding on these Majestic animals from 20 minutes, or to the summit on 30 minute and 1 hour treks. Fully trained and experienced guide handlers will take you and your family through the dense tropical forest along paths and trails from the southwest corner of the beautiful Phuket island stopping at scenic beauty for photographs along the way. Get lucky and sit on the elephants neck. Children and adults are encouraged to stop by the banana kiosk to observe and feed the Elephants, there is no charge. This is a great photo opportunity and you can even touch the elephants trunk. « less

We went on this trek based on review from TA, which were very mixed. We opted for a 30 min trek and it was more than enough as its very hot and pretty uncomfortable. I couldn't decide if I loved it or hated it. Overall I felt really sorry for the elephants being pulled by the hooks all the time,... More

It was very good and I think you should all go. I believe they do a 1 day tour, we however decided that 1/2 day was plenty. More
