Absolutely incredible adventure Incredible experience. Absolutely go. No hesitation. I don't want to spoil the wonder of this place with too much detail but we were a family party of 10, ages ranging from 9 to 74, and all had the most fantastic, eye opening adventure. My 74 year old dad didn't do the jungle trek due to the uneven terrain and a hip replacement but was able to do everything else and loved it. Our kids, who were worried about bugs, gained some positive and exciting experiences. Honestly. Just book it and go. You will not regret it.

Wonderful I booked this thinking I’d be sleeping near elephants… I was wrong they are a ten min drive away and it is a wonderful rescue conservation area… However I had no idea the elephants were a snippet of what is offered at elephant hills! My teenagers and I were literally blown away by our three days in the jungle. My son actually said to me…”This is the best adventure I’ve ever been on!” He’s 16. Whether it’s kayaking, paddle boarding, speed boats, swimming with giant fish in lakes or simply gazing out of the bus window as you get whisked to your next activity prepare to be in awe!! My only thing is that many of the activities are an hour bus ride from the camp and I’m not sure that’s advertised. We saw a wild elephant on our last day! Lucky our tour guide was absolutely fabulous and so were all the staff. Food wonderful and tents so comfortable. Thank you elephant hills it wasn’t what I was expecting but it was truly amazing! Life changing memories!

Wow! What an amazing place! We loved it! Oh my goodness, Elephant Hills was the highlight of our Thailand trip! We only stayed 2 nights at the main camp, but wish we’d done a night or 2 on the Khao Sok lake camp too… next time!! Everything runs like clockwork which makes it so relaxing as you don’t need to arrange a thing. We were picked up from Phuket airport in air conditioned taxi van, and driven to EH (about a couple of hours). On arrival you’re allocated a guide (Ing was brilliant!) and they talk you through the agenda of the time you’re there for - when the activities are, timings, when to eat, what to bring etc). The accommodation at main camp is fabulous - hard walled tent essentially - with big fans to keep cool, slept sooo well here with the sounds of the jungle all around. Comfy beds, spacious enough, great shower, hammocks outside. Stunning view of the limestone cliffs in the main communal area. Food was brilliant, something for everyone, and never felt too busy, although there were lots of people. The activities would take me too long to write up - we loved every single one of them (afternoon 1: guided canoe tour and elephant sanctuary; day 2: Khao Sok National Park via longtail Boat - swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, we saw wild elephant! Just magical; morning 3 jungle trek and lunch in jungle). Teen daughter decided not to do jungle trek - no issue - she slept in instead. Take old trainers for the trek - it is the jungle! So a little challenging in parts (which was great fun!) Transfer out from EH again via air conditioned taxi van, took a couple of hours to get to the port to take us across to Koh Samui for the next part of our trip. Highly recommend Elephant Hills, what a special place and so well run - thank you!!
