Hooray for elephant spa day

Wonder what a spa day looks like for an elephant? Get ready to find out in this half-day adventure where you’ll help these gentle giants enjoy a luxurious pampering session. Start your day with optional round-trip transfers that whisk you comfortably to the park, ensuring you arrive ready for fun.

Four-legged fun

After the workshop, it’s time to feed the elephants! Prepare nutritious food and vitamin balls that these large friends will happily devour. Enjoy a leisurely jungle walk alongside your new pals, then get ready for a playful mud spa session where you’ll join the elephants in rolling around in the mud—expect lots of laughs and a bit of mess.
