Is this suitable for young children?
Yes. The feeding experience is gentle and hands-on. Children enjoy preparing the food and feeding the elephants up close.
How long is this experience?
The feeding program itself is approximately 1 hour. Total time including hotel transfers is longer.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from all major areas on Koh Samui.
