THINGS TO DO
Treks, Guided treks are available around Way Kanan. Please do not attempt to enter the forest without a guard as it is dangerous and you can very quickly become lost. Take good walking boots, long trousers and lots of water.
Boat trips. Out-board motorboats and driver can be hired for trips to the coast, with shorter journeys available and priced accordingly. If you want to potter around, a sampan (paddle boat) is available for hire. This quieter mode of transport may be more suitable for seeing wildlife.
Visitors centre. The ETC visitor centre deals with aspects of elephant training while the centre at Plangijo is designed to inform about the park, its wildlife and conservations issues.
N.B. Please do not arrive at the park expecting to see tigers and other such wild animals, and please do not press the guards into taking you to the outer reaches of the park, which is not permitted. If you are patient, quiet and with a little bit of luck you should see some animals, most probably elephants. If you see wildlife please show caution and respect. Record your observations and enter them in the sightings book at Way Kanan. Additional information on Way Kambas animals is available in a reference file held at Way Kanan.
Elephant Training Centre (ETC). There are elephant attractions every afternoon, with football games at the weekend. Elephant rides are great fun with longer 'safari' rides available, where it is sometimes possible to see wild elephants.
