Programme B-Ethical is the version of Programme B for guests who want the adventure without elephant riding or the tiger park. The activities are in Kathu and Pa Khlok, a short drive apart, and we collect you from your Phuket hotel at the time you choose. Zipline. A jungle zipline course through the rainforest canopy: a series of platforms, sky bridges and abseils, with a safety briefing and full equipment, guided by the park's instructors. Suitable from 4 years old. ATV. A guided quad-bike ride of about one hour on forest and plantation tracks. Drivers must be 15 or older; younger children ride as passengers. Elephant sanctuary. An afternoon programme of about three and a half hours at a no-riding sanctuary: you prepare food and feed the elephants, walk with them through the forest and watch them bathe in the mud and the river, while the sanctuary's guides explain how each elephant came to live there. Lunch is the vegetarian Thai meal served at the sanctuary as part of its programme; a halal-friendly lunch at a local restaurant can be arranged instead on request, and prayer time can be planned into the day. Price: shown per person for the 10-platform zipline course, one hour of ATV (passenger rate for children) and the half-day sanctuary programme (children aged 4–12 at the sanctuary's child rate). Longer zipline courses are quoted on request.

Good to know
How do I book this tour?
Choose your date and party, then request to book. We check availability with the operator and reply on WhatsApp. Nothing is reserved until we confirm it in writing.
When do I pay?
Only after the details are agreed and confirmed. Payment details are sent to you in the chat; we confirm in writing once payment is verified.
Is the price on this page the final total?
It is the operator's published price, which the estimate uses. The total is agreed with you personally before anything is reserved; a park fee or pick-up surcharge is stated where it applies.
Will I know who is driving?
Yes. Before you travel you receive the vehicle and driver details, and the driver receives your pick-up, party and preferences on a job sheet.
Can this day be halal-friendly?
Tell us when you request. We plan meals, prayer time and stops around it where the programme allows. It is a preference we plan around, not a certification.
What if I need to cancel?
If the trip cannot go ahead for a reason that is not yours (weather, sea conditions, earthquake, flood, or the operator cancelling), you get a full refund or a new date. If you cancel for a reason of your own, the payment is not refunded unless the tour’s own terms say otherwise.
