Bali Taro Elephant Park most widely known by the official name Mason Elephant Park is a premier eco-tourism sanctuary located in the lush, pristine jungles of Taro Village, just north of Ubud, Bali. This world-famous conservation reserve has completely revolutionized its business model to focus entirely on ethical welfare. Following the strict nationwide shift toward responsible wildlife tourism, the park has permanently replaced traditional trekking loops with highly immersive feeding elephant programs and sustainable bathing elephant encounters, setting a new benchmark for humane wildlife interactions across Southeast Asia.
Today, its expansive 4.5-hectare beautifully manicured landscape has been fully transformed into a dedicated, non-intrusive habitat specifically designed for the absolute protection, medical rehabilitation, and long-term welfare of critically endangered Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus). By permanently removing heavy iron saddles and legacy equipment, the park has built a peaceful haven where these gentle giants can roam freely, socialize naturally in herds, and live without the burden of exploitative entertainment. This eco-friendly transition ensures that the animals experience optimal physical health and psychological freedom.
Instead of traditional, outdated tourist attractions, this top-rated eco-tourism facility now offers a wide range of exciting, educational, and ethical interaction programs that are deeply engaging for international travelers. Modern, conscious visitors can connect up close with these majestic, deeply emotional creatures in a respectful, cruelty-free environment. The park features structured, hands-on feeding elephant sessions where you can hand-deliver fresh fruit baskets directly to the elephants, alongside immersive, therapeutic bathing elephant rituals where guests help wash and splash alongside the giants in custom-built mud and water pools.
