Good to know
Cancellation: Rescheduling is handled case by case — talk to us and we will find another day. Cancelling on the day of the tour is charged in full. Cancelling at least 2 days ahead is charged 50%. Cancelling 5 to 7 days ahead is refunded in full.
Pickup zone: Free pickup and drop-off for hotels within 6 km of Tha Phae Gate, in the centre of Chiang Mai. Staying further out? Send us your hotel name when you book and we will check availability and tell you any extra transport cost before you pay.
Children: 5–10 pay the child price. Under 5 come free, but still take a seat in the van — please include them when you book.
Please note before you go
- Elephant activities depend on the herd agreeing to them. They roam the sanctuary forest freely and are never forced, so no two days are identical.
- The plan for the day can change with bad weather or anything else outside our control. We will always tell you why.
