We brought our grandaughter here for two nights. We all had a wonderful time. I want to thank our VIP guide for excellent education, insight and for cheerfully answering the 1000 questions of a 6 yr. old. I asked her what her favorite part was and she answered "all of it!". I have to agree, however, I recommend you watch... More

We stayed in the B&B and joined the regular tour, crunch time (big cat feeding) and Butch's bed time (elephant feeding). Animals here are not rescues. All but 3 are bought from breeders, to make money. This enterprise is ENTIRELY commercial, and it feels very much like it. The "1 hour tour" includes 15 min of promotional video. This is... More

We regret that this guest visited our facility under the misconception that it was something it is not. We feel our website clearly defines our facility as a mixed for and non profit facility that participates in both commercial and humanitarian ventures. Although far more than “3” animals at our facility (approx. 50%) are rescues and/or animals we offer homes... More

I stayed two nights at a canvas cottage. It was clean and fun to be in tent-like environment. My grandchildren, (8 and 10), thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations as part of the animal adventure. The VIP tour is excellant. I learned a lot about the animals. My grandchildren loved the events, especially washing an elephant. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.... More

I first found Wild Things while driving around through lettuce fields one day. Years later I discovered there was also a bed and breakfast there. I recently went with my girlfriend and stayed in Joseph's Jungle. The story of why it's so special is located in the room, and it's a real tear-jerker. We had a lovely stay and really... More

We drove up the coast for the week and couldn't resist trying out this safari bed and breakfast whose ad we saw in a magazine at our hotel in Carmel. I've always wanted to go to an African safari but cannot afford it. With Vision Quest, we got to experience what that was like without leaving California or breaking our... More

My wife and I stayed 2 nights in celebration of our anniversary. We participated in the after hours feeding and the elephant experience. We loved it so much the first night we did it again. Its a humbling experience watching the big cats eat and learning about their behavior. Our experience with the elephants was superb. Being that close to... More

We stayed for 3 nights in Joseph's Jungle. It was the most relaxing and amazing trip we have ever taken. The staff were all wonderful. Feeding the elephant Malika every morning was exciting. By the last day, it was like we were visiting with a dear friend. It was so peaceful and serene, being "city folk" we aren't used to... More

I've always been obsessed with African Elephants and have dreamed of seeing them in the wild. Our friends stayed at Vision Quest awhile back and my other half remembered when he was planning our anniversary. Kristie/Christy was incredible as our guide, her knowledge of the programs, animals, and our needs was phenomenal we had a great time (and lucked out... More

Took my children ages 4 and 9. We stayed in the bears den which was two double beds. Plenty of room for all of us. We were great as far as heat at night with the space heater and heated blankets. I actually turned off the space heater as we were getting too warm. We were far off the road... More

This was a surprise for our kids and they loved it ! My son`s favorite part was when he got to feed the Big Cats dinner and my daughter enjoyed putting the elephants to bed. If you listen real close at night it sounds like a real jungle with the animal noises. The staff was incredible and very knowledgeable. We... More
