Imagine exploring thick jungles sitting atop an elephant as you gently move past lush greenery and stunning vistas. This scene may sound like something out of an adventure storybook, but in Koh Samui it is something that everyone can experience! Before beginning your elephant trekking tours make sure you find a suitable hotel in Samui that makes a convenient base for your travels. Anantara Lawana Resort & Spa Koh Samui is one such option and is a Koh Samui resort that can be found along the pristine sands of Chaweng Beach.

Koh Samui elephant trekking excursions give you a unique opportunity to not only head into the wilds of the island, but get better ‘acquainted’ with these gentle giants too.

Such expeditions also head to some well known vantage points from where one can take in truly breathtaking views of Koh Samui. Such treks usually last for around 30 minutes and certain tours include interactive elements too, letting you get to better know these majestic elephants.
