Bobby is amazing!

We had great time with Bobby and his elephants. He taught us a few words and commands, even the elephant song. We gave them food (alot of food) to eat, they kissed us when we said "Chop Chop", we had a great time with them!...More

Best day of our 2 week Asia Vacation

We truly had an amazing time at the Water Runner Elephant Program. Our hotel Dhara Dhevi recommended this operation since the other highly rated tours were full and also not very flexible. Instead of doing a tour with a bunch of other people, our group...More

Fabulous visit!

We loved this place. It wasn't too crowded and they give each group their own tour guide and elephants. There was no rushing you through it. Bobby was very funny. They treat the elephants humanely. The setting is lovely and the lunch was a good...More

This was the first time I got very close to an elephant. They were very friendly and naughty. First, we fed the elephants , they hugged and kissed us. Second, we walked the elephants to the river for bathing. We bathed them, the baby elephant...More

AMAZING Elephant Experience

We had a private tour booked, and it was exceptional from the hotel pickup in a luxury van, to our friendly and knowledgeable guide, leading to a lifetime experience up close and personal with elephants. This isn't an elephant mill - the elephants are largely...More

We did the ATV, white water rafting, and waterfall tour. It included a really delicious buffet lunch at their outdoor eating area. Bathroom facilities were clean. The rafting was really more of a slow cruise down the river. Still fun and enjoyable, but not white...More

Don't do it! Just don't

It was awful. The elephants are all chained. They offer elephant riding, what is hurting them. You can see the poor elephants are not happy there and neurotic. Please don't do it for your own pleasure, don't hurt animals just so you can come home...More
