点评:A truly unforgettable experience that will be remebered for a lifetime!
Something both my Wife and I had been looking forward to the most on our Honeymoon to Phuket and this experience did not disappoint in the slightest.
We did the half day experience, which entailed in being briefed by the carers about the Elephants and what not to do to ensure nobody freaks the Elephants out, keeo everyone safe etc.
We had the pleasure of then getting right up close to these magnificient animals and feeding them Pineapple and Watermelons, before moving on to making your own food balls full of different food that they love to eat and feeding them those.
Then you take them for a mud bath, where you get down and dirty rubbing mud into the elephants skin and again having great upclose encounters with them doing this, before moving down into the water with them where they play and soak, where you can give them a good scrub down and soak in the magical experience.
Showers to use at the end of the experience where you can have a quick shower to semi clean yourself and change.
It was very important for us to choose an ethical Sanctuary as well, we do not agree with Elephants being rode and so this Sanctuary was the perfect choice, dealing with rescue elephants where the carers are very visibly looking after these giants with compassion and hard work to look after their welfare.
They have 5 years running a Gold Award for their Ethical work as well, which says it all.
The package we did also meant we got free food halfway through the experience, which was a generous and good spread actually, even for me as a fussy eater!
Experience of a lifetime, 5* recommend and would jump at the chance of doing it again and again if we ever return to Phuket in the future.
翻译:一次真正令人难忘的体验,将会被铭记一生!
这是我和妻子在普吉岛蜜月旅行中最期待的活动,而这次体验也完全没有让我们失望。
我们参加的是半天的体验项目。期间,饲养员向我们介绍了关于大象的各种知识,还叮嘱了哪些事情绝对不能做,以确保不会惊扰到大象,同时也能保证大家的安全。我们得以近距离接触这些壮丽的动物,还喂它们菠萝和西瓜。随后我们亲手制作了装有各种它们喜爱的食物的食球,再喂给它们吃。
接着我们带大象们去泡泥浴——我们也一起蹲下身,把泥浆涂抹到大象的皮肤上。这个过程也让我们能近距离亲密接触它们。最后我们一起进入水中,看着它们尽情嬉戏、尽情浸泡。在这里,你可以好好清洗一番,沉浸在这神奇的体验中。
体验结束后还有淋浴间可供使用,你可以快速冲个澡、清理一下身体,然后换上衣服。
对我们来说,挑选一家符合道德标准的保护区也至关重要。我们不赞成骑乘大象,因此这家保护区成了绝佳之选。在这个大象救助中心里,饲养员们满怀同情之心且辛勤劳作,悉心照料着这些庞然大物,确保它们的健康与福祉。
他们连续5年荣获“道德典范奖”,这一荣誉便足以说明一切。
我们购买的套餐还包含体验中途的免费餐饮,食物种类丰富且品质上乘——就连我这个挑食的人也吃得津津有味呢!
这真是一生难得的体验啊。五星推荐!以后如果我们再去普吉岛,一定还会毫不犹豫地再次选择它。
