Morning or Afternoon Pick-up
The local operator will pick you up in a comfy AC-minibus at the port and then guide you to the elephant shelter in the south of Koh Samui. The driver is waiting for you to arrive, between 8:45 & 9:00 a.m. or 13:00 & 13:15 p.m., at the arrival port of Nathon! (Meeting point!) Due to program logistics, you must be at the meeting point on time!

Welcome and Introduction
When you arrive at the elephant shelter, there you will be warmly welcomed, and you will get an introduction about the concept and objective from Samui elephant Home. The elephants here can have a pleasant everyday life. As you will experience for yourself, the mahouts and employees of the elephant shelter treat the magnificent pachyderms very lovingly and sensitively.

Preparation of the meal
Participate in preparing a meal and learn how to make supplementary food for elephants. Afterward, you will feed organic food from our camp such as grass and bananas and interact to take picture with elephants. It will be an emotional, unique moment.

Watch the elephants
As soon as the pachyderms have enjoyed their meal, you can also take the time to watch the elephants while they are strolling through the extensive grounds. The elephants need a rest break, which the trained staff pays very careful attention to. If you have any questions, the employees are always at your disposal.

Enjoy with elephants
After the elephants have rested, they often have fun playing and taking a pleasant dip. Now you have the unique opportunity to experience the participation to play and shower with elephants in the giant bath to take care of the elephants. Now it's worth having the camera ready because you won't get that close to an elephant that's used to humans.

We bring you back
Around 12:45 p.m. or 4:00p.m. we will bring you back to the port of Nathon. Since this is an excursion by our partner, our usual back-to-ship guarantee is void. Of course, our partner always has top priority to bring you back to your ship on time! Don't worry!!
