This is not a zoo, it is made to take care of the gibbons that have been rescued from human hands. We payed the entrance to see them from far, the guides introduced us to the monkeys lifestyles and how they used to be treated (one of them had his hand cut off from the previous owner). This is project is specifically set up to support them and get conscious that wild animals are not pets. We also got a T-shirt in their shop and they are open to donations. Super kind and I loved the visit. As they are located inside of a national park you must to pay 200 Thai b (5.60chf) and see a waterfall with a nice walk.

My boyfriend and I visited as part of a new program GRP are going for tourists. Only one group is allowed in at a time, and is booked in advance on their website. The site itself is located in Phuket’s last remaining rainforest, on the steps of a easily hike-able waterfall and steps away from a delicious restaurant overlooking a lily pond. Our tour guide spoke excellent English, and took nearly an hour to tell us all about the gibbons and their process at the centre. At the end, we were allowed to enter the facility at a closed distance that was still safe for the gibbons. The entire tour was extremely fun and knowledgeable, and we were happy that our experience was not at the expense of the safety of the staff nor animals there. We cannot wait to return again, and recommend this experience to anyone visiting Phuket.

Oh my goodness- what a phenomenal experience. This is a LEARNING experience, where we get to admire these fantastic animals learning how to live their authentic lives. This is where they should be, in the rainforest away from human interaction. It’s rustic and real, and it was brilliant. The tour guide was amazing, so knowledgeable and caring towards these creatures. Loved it! One of the best experiences to see animals being properly cared for.

What an incredible project. The love and care that volunteers put into the gibbons and their rehabilitation is phenomenal. We were given an overview of the project and introduced to some of the permanent residents. Their stories are heartbreaking but to see the work the project has done to tirelessly rehabilitate these amazing creatures is, on the flipside, absolutely heart warming. The rely solely on donations, contributions and sales from their little kiosk so for anyone deciding if this trip is worth it - it is. Visit, listen, donate and buy a singlet and a few postcards. These amazing creatures need all the support they can get and the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project is doing a wonderful job!

Fantastic place. We researched for “ethical” animal sanctuaries and this one came up and it was great. Our guide “Roch” was so knowledgeable and he genuinely cared about the well-being of these beautiful animals. Please ignore the “fools” who mention that you can’t “touch” or pet these animals. That’s the whole point…….The monkeys are taken from abusive situations and cared for here and released back in the wild when ready. Enjoy your stay here and help this great place!!

Awsome place to visit and learn about Gibons. Man, who was our guide was awesome, full of passion and he knows everything about those beatiful animals. It is so hearthwarming that there are people who want to help and change the situation of those poor animals, because there are more, not only gibons (Tigers, elephants etc.) Worth every baht spend here and I will donate this place in future as well.

Such a great place doing great things for the local wildlife. This is not a zoo, so don't go expecting a tourist attraction. This is a small place, where you can spend a little time learning about how they rehabilitate the gibbons here and in doing so, make a contribution towards this. Really knowledgeable American girl talking us through everything, and the Thai guy who was with us was great, too.

The highlight of our trip to Thailand, which is saying something. It was the most fascinating few hours learning about the important work the GRP does and getting up close to the magnificent gibbons they are helping prepare for a return to the wild. We were even lucky enough to get a surprise visit from one of the gibbons who now lives in the wild but periodically returns to see his father at the GRP. Than is a superb host with fantastic English, incredible knowledge about the gibbons and a powerful story to tell about the ravages of the tourism industry. A real privilege to feed two gibbons as well! I cannot recommend highly enough.

A fantastic experience learning all about the Gibbons. Our guide was very informative and answered all our questions. A great way to support the gibbons which were almost made extinct due to poachers shooting them to get babies for tourist photo ops. So amazing to hear the gibbons singing in the trees. There are a few gibbons kept in large enclosures that cannot be released but the main aim is to release the gibbons so you won't see many so that they don't get used to humans so don't expect a zoo.

Closed today,, been here before and hopefully can reopen soon, they provide information about and care for gibbons who have been captured/spoiled by humans. Interesting , recommend normally!

Excellent experience and a superb cause. Booked and visited with my wife and learnt all about Gibbons and the fantastic project they surrounded by some of the Gibbons which can’t be returned to the wild for various reasons. Extremely friendly and informative guide. Once we finished had a short walk to the Bang Pae waterfall which was very nice

The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project is a small place where they do some very important work to rescue and rehabilitate Gibbons that have been treated very badly by the tourist industry. We enjoyed our time there. Do not expect a zoo-like place where you get to spend a lot of time looking at the gibbons. The visit is more about educating people about the important work they do and to support this work. We had a very good guide who explained everything in good English and answered all our questions very well. We combined our trip with first visiting the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary and then we went to the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project and lastly we enjoyed the Bangpae waterfall which is only a short hike starting from the area where the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project is located.

The Gibbon park itself opens via booking only, but it's very well maintained and clean, it's non intrusive on the environment and extremely informative, the waterfall is also amazing and well worth the Easy walk to view and go for a swim or just take some photos

This was my highlight of the vacation. This project really puts the animals first and treats them with proper care. The main goal in almost every tourist attraction here in Thailand is money. This is different at the Gibbon Rehabilitation project. All the money goes back into the project. They explain what they do and how they do it. This has given me some faith in the future of Phuket. 100% recommended if you love animals and want to support them.

5 stars! Roch gave us a very wonderful tour and would definitely recommend this to those visiting Phuket! They are now open by appointment only. They are very responsive on the chat here at google maps. We booked and got a tour on the same day. Go and support this project!

This place is for educating people about how these animals have been abused for the tourist industry. If you are wanting to hold a gibbon or you want it to dance for you then you are part of the problem so don't come here. Those who actually care about animals please check it out. You get to prepare food for the Gibbons and monitor their behaviour, with explanations about what it all means. We had a great time and came away from the experience with new knowledge. One final note, take your mosquito repellant or buy from them. It is a rainforest after all.

This is a wonderful place. disclaimer - this is not a zoo and you will not get to be up close with or interact with the gibbons in any way. This is for the benefit of the animals. Most of the tour is a very knowledgeable guide talking to us about the wildlife trade in Thailand, how they end up in the rescue center, gibbons' life cycles etc. and we do get 10-15 mins of looking at the gibbons from a distance at the end. In terms of excitement, it is minimal; there's no interaction with animals. But in terms of supporting a wonderful, important project and animal conservation, this place is stellar. I would come again to support them.
