Elephant Bath Phuket: Rafting, Flying Fox & Bathing with Elephants
From: ฿2,499
The family-friendly short combo: 5.5 km white-water rafting, a flying fox through the jungle and 30 minutes bathing with elephants – including Suwankuha temple, waterfall, lunch and transfer. ฿2,499 per adult.
Bathing with elephants: the animal highlight after the white water
This tour is the shortest and cheapest rafting combo in the lineup – and the only one with an elephant bath: after pickup in Phuket you visit the Suwankuha temple, the famous “Monkey Cave” with its large reclining Buddha. Then it’s 5.5 kilometers of Class II–III rapids through the Phang Nga rainforest.
Quick change of scenery: you glide over the jungle on the flying fox before spending about 30 minutes in the water with the elephants – the moment many guests book this tour for. Traditional Thai food and a waterfall visit round off the day.
With around 6 hours on site it is the shortest program in the cluster – like on all tours, you are back at your hotel between 4:00 and 6:00 pm depending on location. Child rate: 4–10 years. Not suitable for pregnant women or people with back problems or limited mobility.
