Nathon Cruise Port
Your ethical shore excursion begins the moment we meet you (either at the sanctuary entrance or your arranged pickup at Nathon Pier/Port). Our friendly team will welcome you for a swift check-in process, assisting with insurance formalities so we can maximize your time with the elephants.
Dive into the world of responsible wildlife tourism. You will receive a brief introduction to the dietary habits of these gentle giants before helping to prepare their favorite nutrients. This includes the incredible opportunity to hand-feed the elephants, creating a connection before observing them in the wild.
Experience Koh Samui’s elephants as they should be: roaming freely and unchained. This observation-only experience allows you to watch the herd interact, socialize, and bathe in their natural habitat. It is a rare chance for cruise ship passengers to witness natural behaviors up close while strictly respecting the animals’ peace and freedom (no riding).
After your jungle adventure, relax in our serene setting and enjoy a delicious selection of authentic Lunch.
We understand the strict schedules of Samui cruise stopovers. Relax in our comfortable, air-conditioned minibus as our driver provides a timely transfer back to the pier or tender boat, ensuring you arrive with plenty of time before your ship’s departure.
