We went on the "Nature and Nirvana" tour with our guide, Andrey, and everything was wonderful. The itinerary was packed yet unhurried, free from tourist crowds; this allowed us to truly enjoy the natural surroundings, interact with the elephants, and get some proper relaxation. A special thank you to our guide for his attentiveness, pleasant company, and for taking so many beautiful photos.

We went on a tour with our guide, Katya! It was a fantastic, laid-back tour featuring some truly beautiful locations. Katya shared fascinating facts about Thailand, Phuket, and the Thai people, as well as about the elephants, monkeys, snakes, and more. On top of the great conversation and wonderful tour, Katya also took some amazing photos of us. After the tour, we all stopped by a Thai pharmacy together to pick up everything we needed. A huge thank you to Katya for a wonderful day!

It was a great tour; I really enjoyed everything. Alina was an excellent guide—she shared detailed and fascinating information and answered all our questions, both related to the tour and beyond. First, we visited a temple, followed by an observation deck. Then we went for lunch, which was delicious and filling. After lunch, we visited the elephants; it was a truly memorable experience—we washed, fed, and took photos with them. The elephants were clean and beautiful 🥰🥰. Finally, we headed to a spa complex. The spa was quite good, featuring a variety of baths and several pools. I can definitely recommend it 👍.

This is an excursion you really need to go on with at least one other person. Because there are *so* many picturesque, cool spots for photos and ideas 😻 I honestly didn't know where to look first so I wouldn't miss a thing! I felt so fulfilled—swimming, soaking it all in, and getting fully recharged. Having the steam room and the ice plunge pool right opposite each other—for a Russian, that’s a special kind of bliss 😈

We would like to express our deep gratitude to our guide Ekaterina for yesterday’s tour of the Mantra Spa program. We are in Thailand for the first time, thanks to her, we learned a lot of interesting facts about this country. She accompanied our group to all locations of the tour and provided assistance at all points. She showed true professionalism! The tour itself turned out to be very interesting: a magnificent observation deck, communication with elephants, a magical holiday in the Mantra forest spa! Thank you very much for your work! You left very pleasant memories of our vacation

An unforgettable experience from the trip. The first stop was the WHITE TEMPLE. When we arrived, there were no visitors, so we walked freely around the temple and took beautiful photos. We fed the fish and turtles, and tied strings for wishes from the kindest monk. Our second stop was at the observation deck, where we had a heartfelt photo session as a souvenir of Thailand. I really wanted to see elephants, and, oh, WONDER!! SO MANY ELEPHANTS IN ONE PLACE, WELL-CARED FOR, JOYFUL AND HAPPY!!!! WHO KINDLY SHARE THEIR HAPPINESS WITH US. I WAS INFINITELY HAPPY AT THAT MOMENT, BECAUSE THERE WAS MUSIC, EVERYONE WAS SWIMMING AND HAVING FUN: VISITORS, WATCHERS, AND OF COURSE, ELEPHANTS!!! Squirting, hugging, kissing!!! Our tour guide, Alina, captured my delight in video and photos. Then we had lunch! Delicious and worthy!!! And finally, spa treatments. A truly relaxing experience! The time flew by! Thanks to the "TREASURE ISLAND" guide, Alina, who hung out with us and shared endless stories about the magical land of Thailand, the island of Phuket, and its treasures!
