    Wonderful experience
    To see the elephants in such a beautiful well laid out place which is clean is fantastic. The staff truly care about what they do and you can see the elephants are well looked after. No pressure sales here or to ride them if you don’t want to. Excellent to feed them and having…

    Amazing!!
    I read so many reviews about this place before I came, some negative and some positive! Being a huge animal lover I was very sceptical however I’m so glad I went! What a special way to end our holiday and honeymoon! We paid extra to stay in the park view room and well worth the…

    Luxury Resort with Elephants! An absolute MUST in Bali!
    Staying at the Mason Elephant Lodge was a dream come true. The room was very comfortable and the staff was great. The best part of this hotel is of course the Elephants! Waking up each morning to an elephant greeting you at your balcony is the stuff dreams are made of! We loved…

    Great day out, and a great experience. A must do in Bali
    If you love elephants, this should be top of your Bali must do list. I recommend the whole package, Full Buffett breakfast overlooking the elephants bathing pond, then slip into your swim gear and ride the elephants into the bath pond and scrub them down after, then give them a…

    Hello We're due to arrive in Bali shortly. Does anyone know how much a taxi from the airport to the elephant lodge will be? Thanks
    Hi Sarah, Thanks for writing in! I'm not sure exactly how much it would cost to take a taxi direct to our lodge, as prices have fluctuated coming from the airport, however traveling that distance usually would be more expensive than other alternatives available. I would recommend either organising your transport with GRAB (similar to UBER), a freelance driver, or directly through us (our price is about £38 or 690,000 IDR). I hope this helps, and looking forward to seeing you soon! Best regards, Management

    Do guests in all room categories have access to the gym fcailities? Also I read the Paddy View Rooms are at the edge of the park. How isolated are these rooms and are they well lit for walking to at night?
    Hi Happiness, Thanks for your question. Yes, all guests staying at our lodge have full access to the gym facilities. Our Paddy View Rooms are still well within the park and the paths are well lit. Hope to see you soon! Best regards, Management

    Can someone who has been the the elephant park briefly explain the story behind how the elephants got here with them not being native to Bali? My partner and I are visiting Bali from UK next year, however after reading into Mason Elephant Park i am very sceptical about visiting. Thank you.
    Put operation jumbo into YouTube and you can see a trailer for the film of how Nigel Mason rescued them from Sumatra and bought them to Bali. I had a night at the park last month and like you I was worried before I went and read and watched everything I could. These elephant would have died if they had not been taken to Bali, they all seem healthy (I visited with a wildlife vet) happy and very much loved. Yes they are chained at times, they do NOT use bullhooks, but the do have a little metal thing that the mahouts have in their hands to lightly tap the elephant with (it’s not sharp, I asked to see one and hit it quite hard against my leg, it didn’t hurt) Yes, in an ideal world the elephants would be free in the jungle, but unfortunately we don’t live in an ideal world, these elephants have the best possible life.

    Are tickets for elephant ride included in the room price? I thought that's what I paid for in 2016?
    Hi Jennifer, Thanks for your question! At our lodge we now flexibly offer a range of room packages that gives our guests the choice on which inclusions that they would like to have during their stay with us. I hope this helps, and I hope you enjoyed your stay with us on your previous visit. Best regards, Management

    Hi, We are looking to take a day trip for Seminyak, would this be possible, could we get transfer and what time would that be? We would like to ride the elephants, feed them and wash them, what would be the best package for us and the price? Thank you in advance
    Hi Nat, Thanks for writing in. Yes, we most certainly do provide packages that include transfers and/or meals. Our Jumbo Wash package tour which includes return hotel transfers, our buffet, a wash, elephant ride, and hand-feeding sessions costs Rp.1,380,000 per adult. Please see our website if you'd like to check out our other packages as well. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Best regards, Mason Elephant Park & Lodge Team

    "We stayed in the Park View Room so we could use the Elephant Chauffeur- A MUST!"
    "Book the Park View Room - or just go for the day. Not worth an overnight without it."
    "all the rooms are great"
    "I will pay slightly more next time and have a park view room as apposed to a garden view room"
    "Don't go if you like elephants."
