KRABI ELEPHANT TREKKING
Trip Description : They say an elephant never forgets, one thing for certain
you will never forget your elephant trek. There is no better way to enjoy some
of the most spectacular scenery Krabi Province has to offer than from the back
of one of these gentle giants. We have two treks to offer you: a two hour and a
half day trek. These treks start at a time convenient to you that can be
arranged at time of booking.
Tour Type : Half Day
Tour Date :
Daily
Period : 09.00- 15.00 hrs.
ITINERARY
09.00 hrs. We are based at Baan Nai Sra just 20 minutes
drive from Krabi and there we invite you to climb aboard one of our five
elephants.
Then suddenly you're high above the ground and heading into this amazing
scenery where the quiet will envelope you as you relax into the swaying rhythm
of the elephant's walk on a one or two hour trek (dependant on 2 hour or half
day safari).
Our elephants are not working elephants, they work only with tourists; some
elephant trekking operations abuse their animals by forcing the animals to trek
with tourists after a long day working in the forest, controlling the elephants
with fear and violence which can only lead to frustration and anger in these
otherwise gentle creatures.
All our elephants are well looked after, well fed and watered and above all
respected, we hope and believe they are happy; a happy elephant is a safe
elephant.
After the trek we head to Sra Keaw Cave a huge overhanging cave of multiple
tiers each pillared with stalactites which we give you time to explore at
leisure, providing you with drinks and snacks. Here you can also swim in the
mineral water pool that emerges from the cave and sample some of the local
pineapples. It's a good idea to feed the elephants, they won't forget the
kindness, but it is watching the dexterity of their trunks that is the real
pleasure.
On the half day tour we give you a chance to see that
dexterity put to use as our elephants put on a working demonstration for you.
You will not believe just how clever and strong these
animals can be.
After we say goodbye to the elephants we will show you one
of the newer attractions in this ancient landscape by taking you to some of the
areas that featured in the movie 'The Beach' starring Leonardo Di Caprio.
After which we will transfer you back to your Hotel.
