Our family had the experience of a lifetime in Thailand. There are no words for how honored we felt to be able to assist with creating a loving environment for these sweet and deserving animals. The rest of the trip was also fun and well-balanced. Time to play, time to learn, time to bond, and time to give. This trip had it all! We cannot wait for our next adventure!

Hands Up were reassuringly efficient in organising the trip, monitoring how we were doing during the trip and making adjustments to improve the trip. Chris’s passion and enthusiasm encouraged us to do things we wouldn't have thought to do, which gave us fantastic memories of the trip of a lifetime.
