Enjoy a full-day private tour from your hotel to visit Mason Elephant Park & Sanctuary in Taro and explore some of the beautiful places around Ubud.

This is a good choice if you would like to see elephants, learn more about these gentle animals, enjoy the tropical surroundings, and continue your day visiting the rice terraces and cultural attractions around Ubud.

The tour is arranged with a private car and English-speaking local driver, with a flexible itinerary depending on your interests and available time.

Mason Elephant Park & Sanctuary in Taro

Mason Elephant Park & Sanctuary is located in Taro, north of Ubud. The park is home to rescued Sumatran elephants and has been caring for these elephants for many years.

According to Mason, the Taro area was chosen because of its cooler climate, higher rainfall, cleaner air, and lush tropical environment, which is suitable for the elephants. The park also focuses on elephant care, education, and conservation.

The park provides a spacious tropical environment where visitors can learn about the elephants and see them going about their daily activities.

What Can You See and Do at Mason Elephant Park?

A visit to the park is not only about seeing elephants. There are several areas and experiences that visitors can enjoy during their visit.

Hand-Feed the Elephants

One of the interesting experiences is hand-feeding the elephants.

Mason states that guests can hand-feed the elephants with freshly cut palm stems as part of the park admission. Fruit baskets are also available as an additional option if you would like to give the elephants an extra treat.

It is a nice opportunity to get closer to the elephants while learning about their daily diet and care.

Education Experience

The park provides an education experience where visitors can learn more about elephants, their history, behaviour, care, and the challenges faced by Sumatran elephants.

Mason currently lists its education experience as one of the everyday park guest inclusions.

Museum and Discovery Centre

You can also visit the park museum and discovery centre.

The museum includes elephant-related displays, while the learning centre provides information about elephants and their history.

Mason also has a mammoth skeleton replica displayed in its museum.

Elephant Free-Roam Area

One of the newer areas of the park is the Elephant Free-Roam Area.

Here, elephants can spend time together in their social groups. The area includes a sand pit, shade houses, a bathing lake, and space for the elephants to walk and spend time together.

Visitors can observe the elephants in this area and see more of their natural daily behaviour.

Bathing Lake Viewing

The park also has a bathing lake where visitors can watch the elephants enjoying the water.

The Bathing Lake Viewing is currently listed by Mason as part of the everyday park guest experience.

If you are interested in a closer elephant washing or bathing experience, please check the current availability and activity conditions when making your booking, as additional activities can have different arrangements.

Treetop Walkway

The Treetop Walkway gives visitors a different view of the park from above.

The walkway is around five metres above the ground and provides views over the park. It is also a good place to take photos and watch the elephants from a different perspective.

Elephant Art Gallery

The park also has an Elephant Art Gallery with elephant sculptures, drawings, paintings, and other artwork.

It is included as part of the park experience and gives visitors another way to learn about the connection between elephants and art.

Botanical Gardens and Orchid Displays

Besides the elephants, the park has tropical gardens with palms, ferns, orchids, and other plants.

The botanical gardens and exotic orchid displays are also listed among the park guest inclusions.

Elephant Lake Cave

Another interesting place for photos is the Elephant Lake Cave, which features hand-carved stone artwork.

It is located around the park and provides a different background for visitors who enjoy photography.

Explore Ubud After Visiting the Elephant Park

After spending time at Mason Elephant Park, we can continue the tour around Ubud depending on your interests and the time available.

One popular option is to visit Tegalalang Rice Terrace, where you can enjoy the green rice fields and beautiful countryside scenery.

Not every place needs to be visited in one day. The route can be discussed with your driver so the itinerary is comfortable and realistic.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Bali Swing

If you enjoy nature and photography, Tegalalang is a good place to continue the trip after the elephant park.

You can walk around the rice terrace, enjoy the countryside scenery, or add a Bali Swing experience if you are interested.

The swing activity is an optional activity and the entrance or activity fee is paid separately.

Ubud Town

Another option is to finish the day in central Ubud.
