The monitor report is by Myuu and Jun-Jun who were in Bali for their honeymoon! Myuu found this free monitor experience on HIRO-Chan site. “The contents are very clear and easy to understand, so we decided to try it!” They went to try Elephant Full Ride (1 hour) by Ayung River Rafting Company.
Myuu: “I have have done an elephant ride in Thailand, but my husband has never done it, so wanted to try it together.”
Jun-Jun: “If I could ride an elephant, I wanted to do it longer, so we book the full ride. If we did the short ride, we wouldn’t be satisfied.”
Lets’s go to take a walk by elephant in the forest!

 

Myuu: “The guide picked fruits on the tree and gave this to us saying “try them!”I really enjoyed the time in the forest!”
Jun-Jun: “He talked to us in Japanese and sang a famous children elephant song in Japanese too! It was a long ride, but fun!! They gave us coconut juice in the middle of the course.”
Since the weather in Ubud often changes, it sometimes rained, so they kept going on the ride with an unbrella which was provided by Ayung River Rafting Company.
They seemed very happy about the 60 minutes ride that they could go through the forest and the village outside of the park.

 

Myuu: “It was great that we could take many photos with the elephant! These became memory of the trip!”
They looked enjoying feeding the elephant and taking photos together! After the elephant ride, the lunch at a restaurant to be able to look at inside of the park is next.
Jun-Jun: “We had Mie Goreng and Nasi Goreng. Both of them were tasty!”
You will choose one from 3 lunch courses before the ride and have it after finishing the ride. the course they had included spring roll, soup, pizza, Mie Goreng and coconut crepe It was average in quantity.

 

We asked them their impression of the full ride in the elephant camp!
“It was really fun to ride an elephant and go to inside of the forest and the village that we usually cannot visit by ourselves. The guide was very funny with little Japanese. The view from the top of the elephant was amazing. We were very happy to be able to experience this tour and want to recommend it to everyone! The full ride is definately better than the short one!”
