Bali was on our life list, as well as an elephant ride. Both things met or exceeded our expectations. We did the one hour ride (booked through Panorama Tours) which was very reasonable, we thought, about $40 US per person for transportation, the ride, refreshments and lunch and a tour of the chocolate factory on-site with samples of their products....

Another great experience on our Bali vacation. The guides are courteous, accommodating and really care about your experience. Elephants - amazing. Food - ok - but we weren't really there for the food. Loved the cool and refreshing ginger tea on arrival.

If you do nothing else in Bali, you must spend an hour on one of these gentle giants! We walked through the jungle on what was admittedly quite steep paths but our Mahout was wonderful, he pointed out all the plants and we saw such beautiful birds. What struck us most was the peace. Then on through the villages and... More

the rain was pouring when we arrived, and it was nearly feeding time for the elephants, so the hosts suggested we invert the order of our excursion, and have lunch before setting out on the hour long tour. A great suggestion because it cleared up and we had great weather until the last ten minutes of the ride. Umbrellas provided... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our visit to the Bali Elephant Camp. We chose the one hour ride (you can do a half hour only) and it was amazing to go through the jungle - stopping for a coconut drink - and then through a village on the elephant. It was also great fun to fee the elephants at... More

Just loved my day at the Bali Elephant Camp. The whole experience was seamless. Well organised. Met with a welcome drink, taken to the boarding area where we met our Mahout Andi and his elephant, Mary. Our one hour walk through the jungle and the local village was so beautiful. It was obvious that Mary and Andi had a special... More

The elephant handlers were very good and I can't describe the elephant ride itself as other than a truly unique experience. However the price for photos was extortionate - even by Aussie standards - and the food was truly mediocre. Watching small animals penned in miniscule cages without company, grass, plants or even a single plaything was just upsetting and... More

My wife and I took the elephant ride a couple of weeks ago when we were on our honeymoon. The animal, the ride itself and the elephant driver were all quite wonderful. It was quite an experience to trek through the tropical forest and through the water on such a beautiful creature. The downside of the experience was the number... More

We have just returned from Bali and visited Bali Elephant Camp. Its location is beautiful and picturesque and the Camp itself is pristine. The elephants are well cared for. We arrived early with our own driver and were able to walk around the park and we did not see any elephants chained. There were a few bathing, a few resting... More
