Nice place to ride the elephant, take the 3000 rupees package is more than enough to do all activities.

Awesome, great ride. Excellent guides Recommended

It was nice to see, touch and drive such a big animal so close. But staff is horrible, especially a drove of an elephant, he wants additional money except a ticket and when we gave him a little, said it's not enough

Not happy elephant. Not recommend

Just 2 elephants. Charged us 5000SLR. Very short ride not even 10min. Wasn't an exciting experience

Recommended place for elephant entertainment, they have two big elephants, Reasonable price and friendly staff

They have only 3 elephants and one of them is old looking.. They will take 60 minutes elephant drive through road, forest,water.. And cost is SLR 10000/- per person. And in museum there nothing but some bones and skull of elephants.

Scam! Go to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Much better, you can do the samé for better price…

Good place if you would like activities with the elephants.

Nice and friendly place, clever elephants, possible to feed them, elephants like bananas

I'm a Wildlife enthusiastic person, also a wildlife photographer, I was compelled to do this to satisfy my daughter. On the other hand, we just continue to their economy.

A very lovely one on one experience with the elephants. Enjoyed feeding them

Such a nice place. You can nicely play with the elephant.

Paid 5000 lkr for 30 minutes. Lovely to feed Monica, she showered me and I washed her. Loved it

Very interesting place to ride on elephant.adorabla elephants..❤️

Was fun and good to see elephants are taken good care

2 elephants , a jungle area, a mini elephant museum , a mahout . All this combined should be a good experience, unfortunately it wasn't so. It was too steeply priced for a good elephant ride.More than 10 USD for one round is a steal. Yes tourists can be charged a little more than locals, but this is a rip off sorry to say.

Just a small round of some 20mins and good enough as an experiance

This place only eats money. Ride few meters for $30 per pax as they said 15 minutes ride. Service is really bad and the elephant care takers behavior is very aggressive. Do not have proper safety instruments, Safety methods. ONLY think about the money. Do NOT recommend

Very beautiful calm, quite place

It was good 2000LKR for 15mints

We went there to see elephants bathing. We were not disappointed. It was a few years ago. But now I think it’s cruel and can’t recommend anyone sponsoring such attractions.

This place definitely is spacious and you’d get the flavor of how elephant riding will be in different landscapes. The riding packages are available from 2500 LKR priced depending on how long would the elephant ride would be. We took the longest ride (30 mins) which costed 5000 LKR per head. No matter how many ppl ride, the amount is gonna be pwr head and you’d end up on the same elephant. However, package includes riding elephant back In a little stream, a garden, a forestry area, and to a paddy field. The view is amazing and the feeling is priceless. They cover the entire ride with photos and videos so you don’t have to worry about taking pictures and can totally enjoy the ride. At the stream, you get the chance to have a shower from the elephant which is optional but I’d highly recommend doing that! There is a mini museum that houses remains of a dead elephant who lived 92 years and also they have an elephant tooth you can have a look at. For feeding the elephants you will have to buy fruits separate which is not that expensive. However, sad to mention that the mahouts and caretakers do expect you to tip them in large and won’t stop asking for it until you develop a headache. We went on an early morning like 9am and the place was less crowded also if you are visiting Pinnawela off-season (when kandy Perahera happens in August) its highly unlikely you get to place with an elephant you can ride on. We had to pass by several places and only these guys had elephants for riding. Therefore this is a good place at odd times. Overall, I won’t complain how much we had to pay, the experience was too nice.

Not enjoying very much but happy with government for looking after elephant and care of them.
