One of our best Bali days. The zoo itself is a nice place to visit but spending time with the elephants was amazing! We fed them, washed them, took a mud bath with them and bathed in the river with them. The elephant keepers were wonderful and made sure we got the best out of the experience. Including lots of photos on your own phone in case you don’t want to buy the official ones. The elephants are happy at the zoo, saved from human predators and treated with love and great respect. The money we paid included lunch and afternoon tea as-well as transport to and from the zoo. All in all it was a great day.

I had a fantastic experience. My guide was Desna and he displayed a great knowledge of the culture and history of the area. He checked repeatedly make sure that both he and the site visits were meeting my expectations. The site visits were all interesting and beautiful. I would recommend this tour without hesitation.
