I'll always regret riding an elephant. I was an inexperienced traveler. These animals are extreme intelligent and the level of pain they must endure to become docile is unimaginable. Refrain from supporting this type of activity.

Already a small place and they keep this lovely baby elephant prisoner and away from it's Mother... Such a shame. They should at least set him free inside the square

Friendly staff and baby elephant 🐘 was soooo cute 🥰

Please do not take any tour or performance with elephants. We took a small tour to see the elephants and the Big Buddha. We heard that riding elephants is bad and did not want to bathe with them. For the rest we did not know anything. While driving to the elephants we saw baby elephants alone in cages at the side of the road, which made us wonder: Aren’t they herd animals? We stopped to take pictures with one of those baby elephants. When the pictures were taken, the elephant “smiled” by moving up his/her trunk. One of the guides showed us that it would suck if it’s nose was put against your skin (see picture). Anyways, for elephants to do these tricks they get tortured as we realized later (Phajaan, crushing the spirit of an elephant). We afterwards fed and showered a very old female elephant which was alone and saw another one alone in a cage being fed, this one was moving her head side to side and when we asked why, we got told it was bc she was happy. Please know they do that bc their frustrated, stressed and/or bored. Then we saw the Big Bhudda which was nice and had good views. On the way back, there was a man waving at us. He had a monkey standing upright on a short lease around his/her neck. The elephants we saw are tortured when they are young, are held captive, do tourist rides and tricks which is bad for their backs and stressful. And when they are old and traumatized we get to feed them “ethnically”. Apparently it’s in the culture of Thailand to use elephants for domestication (bc elephants are smart animals, torture is used to create trust for their captors). It is the national animal of Thailand and they have done this for a long time. It is not needed for tourism. So if you are there please don’t fall for elephant tourism like we did. And hopefully they will treat their smart and strong national animal with more respect in the future.

THEY MISTREAT ANIMALS! Please stop funding these places. Animals are not meant to be treated like this. The baby elephant was smacked. It was horrifying. If I could give less stars I would.

They are keeping elephants in cages chained by their leg with a 1-2m long chain, so they canot move so people can stare at them and touch them. Keeping baby elephants separated from their mothers. They are torturing elephants!! Please DO NOT ENCOURAGE THEM! They should be closed down this is animal cruelty!!

If you like animal cruelty this is the place for you, baby elephants being tortured everyday for the amusement of dumb tourists. Elephants being used for riding all day and can clearly see the exhaustion and abuse on the animal. Horrible place!

Animal abuse here. Baby elephant along the street to attrack studpid tourists to feedback it for a few bahts.. this is not supposed to still happen in 2022!

My first ever experience driving/riding an ATV and although I was nervous at first, the guide reassured us that he would keep a close eye to ensure our whole group remained safe. The tour guide also made the experience all the more fun with his energy and humour! The other staff trailing on the ATV at the back was also very nice and took lots of photos for us at various spots throughout the route, with water given to us to end our journey. It was an awesome experience and I’m glad I got to do it!

We had lunch next door then we t to show baby the elephant. We got to buy food for 100B and feed it. I didn't see a chain so it seemed more free then the others. Lots of people doing the ATV up to big buddha.

The tour guides were nice, the treck was great fun and seeing the budda was interesting too. The experience itself was good fun. We paid for a 2 hour session. However almost half the time was spent at the budda itself which was a bit disappointing. The bikes were in poor shape, mine broke down but they did replace it. The elephant you see is just tied to a post and you have to pay to feed it. Felt awful for the poor thing :( Giving it a 4 as we did have fun and we did not get scammed :) not getting a 5 as it was quote expensive and misleading on the timing. Overall, good day out.

Nice experience. Though atv could be improved, because are too old and not so safe wile driving (brakes and steering). The only part I didn’t enjoy is that they have a baby elephant captive over there and they kind of harass him.

You will enjoy your advanture in the jungle with ATV nice tour leader. You will need to ride by yourself. The trip also bring you the see the biggest buddha on top of the mountain. You also can see the best view of Phuket from that mountain.

Even after an hours buggy tour we finished wishing it was longer. The buggies were awesomely great fun going along the back roads. Parts were rugged, rocky and a little washed out in spots, and even when it started raining it made it all the more of an experience. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable of the area and the vehicles. Definitely recommend this activity for your stay in Kata.

Was about to book till I found out the miss treat elephants and have them on chains and hit them with sticks. Also charge u so much for damaging atv. Heard this is the worst place to book

Great service indeed. Highly recommended

Nice and supportive because I dropped my phone in the jungle and they offered to go back looking for it and somehow found it. My big advice make sure all your items are secured

So much fun. The ppls work there are so nice.

Fun trip though the jungle. And a very friendly and helpful guide.

Quadbiking on the road only and not on a terrain. Clarify before paying for the activity.aldo check your bike since mist of them r in a bad condition

Cheaper than other elephant attractions nearby . Right now have a mum , a baby and another larger one kept round the back of the building that we only saw breefly . Good cafes nearby but u do worry about there treatment . Baby was trained to lift her trunk up everytime someone wanted a picture. Was attached to a rope being held by a man

Great fun, bikes are a bit old. Going through the jungle was fun and a bit scary at the same time

This was a delightful stop. You can feed the baby and/or the adult elephant a bowl of cut Bananas for 100 thai baht

It's the best experience I ever had.. The guides made sure we are safe , kept checking on us. Doesn't matter if you dont know how to ride, they will ride with u and guide u...

Beautiful location. Nice people. My only one star is the elephants doesn't look happy but it's the same in the whole island. The restaurant has a beautiful view Definitely recommended

Great guys. No scamming involved. Even one of the atv bar got broken due to the terrain When you go through the jungle was the best part, you are so high up than you are above the clouds.

Booked a 2hr ATV experience + Big buddha visit. One of the best excursions I have done whilst visiting Thailand. Transport provided to and from hotel. Guide explained well and took many photos/videos of me using my personal phone. 4 stars not 5 because I know they offer elephant riding :(

Visited this place just to feed some elephants. My baby loved the experience.

Tour guide super friendly, great track to go on. Recommend doing the 45-60mins rides. A small price to pay for a little bit of fun

Great Experience but prices can be better. It's a must to do activity in your list if you're visiting Phuket.

Our guides were super energetic, awesome attitudes and very patient. They went out of their way to take us off course/road and take lots of videos and photos for the group. The company was very hospitable and made our holiday enjoyable Would definitely come back

Great scenic beauty from the place. Full Phuket city and it's lovely coastal can be viewed from here.

Great place to take pictures with baby elephants. Just buy few bananas, and the baby elephant will be very happy to see you and take pictures.

Worth a bisit to see the elephants.

It has alot of mountins and beautiful wildlife, would definitely recommend

Good if you can handle the ATV well. The scenery is good
