O que você fará

At the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, where we succeeded in reintroduced gibbons back to the wild where they were poached to extinction some 40 years ago, I will introduce you to our missions, our hopes, our research works and our gibbons in care. I (or my researcher team) will escort then show you how to prepare special gibbon nutrition ball. You will learn and enjoy making this supplement food wrapping in banana leaf and put it in our long-distance feeding system.

At this stage, I will teach you how to observe and collect valuable research data from gibbons. You will also learn how to differentiate and understand each voice they make and hidden meaning of their movement behaviors. I will share you unforgettable stories while I follow this species in the deep jungle. This is a great opportunity to be once-in-a-life-time gibbon research assistant and make a better life for them.

Moreover, if lucky, you will see some other beautiful wildlife including Oriental Pied Hornbill, Flying Lemurs, Flying Dragon, Golden Orb-weaver Spider and many more! Our experience ends at 11:30 am but we suggest you to spare another hour trekking and appreciating a beautiful waterfall in the last remaining rain forest of Phuket.
Other things to note
Just to first remind everyone that we are not a Zoo. We are much more than a zoo. We rescue, rehabilitate and release gibbons back to the forest. It is a good place to take your kids to learn about environmental and wildlife.

Hi, you can call me Than. Before I started to volunteer at the Wild Animal Rescue Foundation of Thailand (WARF) full time, I have learned to love wild animals since I was a kid. WARF was founded in 1992 by my mother and her friends. I remember growing up caring for hundreds of rescued gibbons, orphan bears, blinded tigers in our backyard. This whole life experience inspired me to pursue my study in environment, forestry, and ecotourism. Now I spend 50% of my time in the forest and another 50% in an organization management. I also go out to local schools to educate children about saving wildlife and environment. I love talking to visitors, meeting people, and sharing my knowledge. I can’t wait to welcome you all to this beautiful Phuket city!

This is a once in a lifetime experience! I highly recommend! My husband and I visited during our honeymoon and really enjoyed our guided tour of the center. Thanaphat and his team are extremely knowledgeable and are doing a phenomenal job taking care of the gibbons, which includes rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing back into the local national park. I recommend doing this experience rather than visiting the center on your own since you will be able to get one on one guidance and hands on knowledge from the staff and you will be able to feed the gibbons and make their enrichment yourself. Can’t say enough positive things about this experience!

An incredible experience, a chance to see gibbons on their way back to the wild, we felt very privileged to witness and learn about the hard work they do at the gibbon rehabilitation centre and it was priceless to hear them singing and to get to help prepare their food! A wonderful morning.

I loved this experience! The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project is such an amazing place. I learned so much about Gibbons. Seeing the work they do here to rehabilitate them was incredible, and I loved getting the opportunity to feed them and observe their individual personalities. You can tell that each person there truly cares about these animals and wants to see them thrive. I'd recommend this to anyone, but especially animal lovers such as myself.

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience to help the animals. You have no direct contact with the Gibbons, so you can wear new clothes without fear of them getting clawed at. You feed them from a distance using pulleys and rope. The host takes photos of you in action feeding the Gibbons, as well, and he's not a bad photographer, either!

This experience was excellent for us to learn more about gibbons, to be able to feed them via pulleys, and to contribute to a grassroots effort that really makes a difference to the animals. We learned about the back stories of the gibbons that are being helped, and how to prepare food, and we made food, and observed two gibbons in their enclosures before and after feeding. The idea of the sanctuary is largely to rescue the gibbons from inappropriate tourism, so by definition you should not have an expectation that you will get to play with the gibbons or get photographs taken with them- that was what they are being rescued from :) We enjoyed our time and our hosts were warm and knowledgable, and we decided at the end to adopt a gibbon. Note also that the waterfall very nearby is worth visiting so plan on leaving some extra time at the end.
