Thank you for supporting our Elephant Freedom Project. We are often asked if our tours are suitable for kids. We offer four different tours. A full day tour, half day AM and half day PM tour. We also offer a feeding experience. Below is our guidance concerning the various tours and children.

The Feeding Experience & Half Day AM Tour: The feeding experience duration is approximately one hour, while the half day AM tour last  3.5 hours. We feel that both tours are suitable for all ages, no restrictions. On the half day AM tour we hike into the jungle with the elephants, there is one spot about 15-20 meters (45′ to 60′) which is at a 45° angle.  An adult will need to assist children under the age of six.

Full & Half Day PM Tour: Th full day tour last eight hours while the PM tour last 4 hours. We have added a few videos below which allow you to view two parts of the journey which may need your attention if your child is younger then 6 years old. Children by their nature love to climb, but we feel compelled to point this out. All of us are parents and each of us understand our kids and what their abilities are. We have had children as young as one years old complete the tour. At that age they require the full attention of a parent. Children ages 2-5 we believe will require most of your attention while; Hiking along the river with the elephants, Swimming with the elephants and the waterfall experience.  As we cross the river the depth of the water is between 30 to 45cm (12″ to 18″). The river is somewhat rocky. The hike down to the waterfall is not dangerous, but parents with kids under 6 will want to pay additional attention.

Once we hike down to the waterfall there is a bridge which is approximately  30m (60′)  long. This crossing will require 100% of a parents attention for kids six or younger. Once we cross the bridge we make our way to the edge of the waterfall, this too will require a parents full attention for kids six and under. We do not recommend kids under ten swim while at the waterfall. The waterfall can be visited and enjoyed without the need to cross the bridge. 

The video below by the Vlogger is especially good as it shows each component of the tour. You may also wish to check out the video directly below the vlogger which was done in Thai with sub titles.
