Unforgettable experience

This tour was an unforgettable and authentic experience that exceeded expectations. At the Kulen Elephant Forest, we were able to walk alongside the elephants in a calm and natural setting, and Seth gave us many insights on their behaviour and life at the forest. Our guide, Nak, was attentive and knowledgeable, and he stayed with us throughout the day. After the forest, he guided us through our visit to Tonle Sap Lake, where we experienced the serenity of the floating villages and glimpsed the unique lifestyle of the local community. Altogether, the combination of ethical elephant interaction, exceptional guidance, and cultural immersion made this one of the most enriching and memorable tours I’ve ever taken, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Two amazing experiences in one day!

Wow! Such an amazing day with the beautiful elephants and then visiting the Lake Village. Our guide Sath was amazing and gave us great information along with a great experience. Our driver Mr Saret was also top notch! We loved the air conditioned vehicle for a smooth and comfortable ride in the heat. We can’t rate this enough! Such a great day! Thankyou!

Elephants are awesome! ???? ???? (bff’s) 4-ever!

Had a GREAT experience with Nak and Mom! Nak was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Tonle Sap lake cruise was fun (even though it’s the dry season) and the Kulen Elephant Forest was the highlight of my trip, going home with amazing photos. Worth the money. Book with Nak!

A fantastic day, great experience to really be recommended. Nak proved to be an excellent guide combining a great sense of humour with a real depth of knowledge to bring all subjects to life. Humble and honest, he really made the day, and anyone getting him as a guide will be lucky. Partnered up with our driver Thnou, who kept the cold drinks and Cambodian spring rolls (frozen handtowels) coming as well as being on time and driving safely. It really was a pleasure to spend time with them and learn so much about Cambodia and its culture

Great tour for spending time with elephants and learning about local modern Cambodian living

This tour was so fun! After seeing Angkor Watt and learning some Cambodian history, this tour was a great way to learn more about daily life in Cambodia. Mr. Nak started the tour with a visit to his hometown market, and let us try local fruits and a local snack and pointed out local favorite foods and ingredients. He then took us to a "floating village" community and told us about the history and way of life. The we went to the Tonle Sap lake and told us about the marine life and some really interesting geopolitics about the rivers feeding the Tonle Sap lake. We went to lunch at a beautiful spot to relax for a little bit, then headed to the Kulen Elephant Forest where we were able to feed, walk with, and bathe rescued elephants!!! It was a blast, and Mr. Nak was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about a lot of the things we had seen in Cambodia even outside of the tour!
