— What You Can Expect —

Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve is an ethical sanctuary co-founded by elephant specialists Mr. Kong and Louise Rogerson. Nestled in the hills of southern Phuket, this sanctuary is home to four rescued female elephants from the tourism riding industry. The elephants now roam freely, socializing and playing naturally in ponds, streams, and muddy wallows.

Visitors can meet and feed the elephants before taking a scenic walk through the forest, with stops at Bamboo Observation Huts to quietly observe the elephants. A delicious vegetarian meal made from fresh local ingredients is provided while watching the elephants at the pond. The sanctuary is also a haven for wild birds, eagles, egrets, butterflies, and dragonflies.
