Wan was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! She had great knowledge that she shared with us at various sites during our excursion and her friendliness made the experience even better! The elephant sanctuary was incredible and a must for anyone visiting Thailand.

It's the best experience we ever had in Thailand. A very complete excursion plus a very good guide (Tuktka) and driver. Living Green Sanctuary is such an amazing and animal-friendly place to be in touch with the elephants respecting their own space. After that, we enjoyed a delicious pad thai buffet and very fresh fruit. Then we went to the top of Doi Inthanon mountain and later we did the trekking which was AMAZING. We saw everything during the 2 hours route: Karen woman guiding us, snakes, spiders, waterfalls, coffe plantations, rice fields, water buffalos... all during the easy path hiking. We don't usually group tours as costumers, but we can ensure that we enjoyed a lot and even would repeat this same activity in our next time to Chiang Mai. Give it a try, you will not regret. Thanks to the team.

This experience was definitely the highlight of our stay in Chiang Mai, feeding the elephants and seeing how much care the sanctuary put on the animals was outstanding. The logistics, attention to detail and specially Wan (our guide) was fantastic, so charismatic and knowledgeable. The pagodas and the hike through the mountains were algo great, made some new friends there so pretty much flawless.

Great trip. Slightly rushed in elephant park, especially around water experience as got there late due to traffic. Guide Lulu was very informative. Pagoda part was torrential rain but would be gorgeous on a decent day n most of us chose not to do trek, again because weather was so unpredictable and it was an hour an a half trek so if it rained heavily again you had no shelter for the duration. That was a shame to miss but couldn't be helped. Coffee hilltribe info was interesting. Long day so be prepared.

It was a great time with the Elephants! The hike, watrefall, temple and village were also amazing. Our guide, Adam, was friendly and informative, answering all my questions. It'a great tour not only to get to know the elephants, but also to support the project and learn about thailand's culture.
