Visit the majestic Big Buddha for panoramic island views and enjoy an ethical encounter at a Mini Elephant Sanctuary. Feed and bond with rescued elephants in a respectful, no-riding environment.
Experience two of Phuket’s most beloved highlights on the Big Buddha & Mini Elephant Sanctuary Tour. Your journey begins with a scenic drive up Nakkerd Hill to visit the Great Buddha of Phuket. Standing 45 meters tall and layered in glimmering white Burmese marble, the Big Buddha is a symbol of peace and a must-visit spiritual site. From the summit, you will enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of Phuket Town, Chalong Bay, and the Andaman Sea. Your guide will share the history of the statue’s construction and the significance of Buddhism in local life. After finding your zen at the temple, we head to a Mini Elephant Sanctuary for a heartwarming, ethical encounter. This sanctuary operates with a strict "no-riding" policy, focusing instead on the well-being of its rescued residents. You will have the opportunity to get hands-on by preparing nutritious snacks and hand-feeding the elephants. Observe their playful personalities and learn about their rescue stories from expert mahouts. This small-scale sanctuary provides a peaceful and intimate atmosphere, ensuring you can bond with these gentle giants without the crowds. It is the perfect blend of cultural sightseeing and compassionate animal interaction, leaving you with lasting memories of Phuket’s natural and spiritual beauty.
