Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.My 4th time booking with Seek Sophie! Itinerary is always throguhtfuly planned and the experiences are well curated too. Always my go-to for traveling!
Hi Meg, thank you so much for being a dedicated Seek Sophie customer! We are so happy to hear you've enjoyed all four of your trips. Hope to see you again!
We booked a sailing trip for 2 adults however we were also travelling with our 1 year old. There was no option to book for him only the adults, as children were free we couldn’t add him to the booking as it was going to then charge us for 3 people. All I could do was write that he was coming in the comments. When we arrived the boat company had no idea he was coming. There needs to be an option to book for children under 2.
Hi Rachael, I'm sorry to hear that our partner was not aware you were bringing your 2 year old. We will look to see how we can improve this process on our side. I hope that you still enjoyed your trip despite this hurdle. And thank you for taking the time to leave us the feedback.
Easy platform with lotsa cultural and artsy experience for personal and corporal level outing. Easy to navigate with necessary info. Making ease of booking and activities planning so easy.
Thanks so much for the kind review! Glad we could make it easy for your trip planning :)

The crew was amazing, so friendly and created a great atmosphere!! The food was great and the views was spectacular:)
Thank you, Josefine! Glad to hear the crew and food were highlights of the trip :) Thank you for being a Seek Sophie customer!
Guide and boat crew were wonderful during our trip and choosing Seek Sophie for our private boat was absolutely the right idea. We were very happy with the experience and will be recommending them going forward, the snorkelling locations gave a surprise Manta Ray sighting but the Komodo’s were the highlight of the trip for sure. So incredible!
Thanks so much for the review, Kelly! Glad we could make your Komodo trip special :)
I love the novel curated experiences they are creating that really reflects the culture and character of a place. The tour was also so well curated, even having snacks provided for us.
Thank you for the review, Ziyi! Glad you found the experience novel :)
Did a tour in Bali with Seeksophie and it was one of the best experiences ever! they really have cool and different options and everything goes smoothly
Thank you, Tamara! Glad we could bring you something different for your Bali trip!
Have done 2 craft activities through Seeksophie. Enjoyed them. I can see the experiences are curated and with standards. Thanks for a good platform to showcase and open up the possibilities. Platform is easy to use. Booking is straightforward.
Thanks so much for being a repeat customer with us, Ming Lee! Happy we could make it simple and easy for your trip planning :)
Seek Sophie offers more down-to-earth experience and more affordable options with homestays. The entire booking process was very smooth. I could contact the host before booking and response was fast.
Thanks for the review, Chi Kam! Glad we could provide interesting and affordable options for you. We love making travel accessible while making sure it's good for the community and homestays are a great way to do that!
Everything was properly organized, the guides are really prepared and willing to share their knowledge. Most of them even took extra time during the cruises in case of a sighting. The rooms are pretty and food is delicious. Everyone was extremely kind. (And we were able to spot all the big five!!)
Thanks, Mirco! Glad the experience was to your liking!
Happy to add a local touch to our SG trip. SK is so nice to welcome us into her home. Intimate learning experience. We would visit her again:)
Thank you for the review, Tracy! Glad we could make Singapore feel welcoming during your trip.
If you're planning a trip to Labuan Bajo and Komodo National Park, Seek Sophia is an absolute gem. The platform offers rich, detailed information and invaluable insider tips that make organizing an itinerary seamless and stress-free. What impressed me most was their incredible responsiveness—they were spontaneous and prompt in answering all my enquiries. It is a completely reliable platform, and I highly recommend booking your Komodo adventure through them!
Thank you for the endorsement, Anna! So happy to hear we could provide lots of valuable info for your trip planning.
First time a book something with seek Sophie but I followed same time and I was really interested in their trips because they go around and take care of the community, ethical travel, always showing a better and sustainable way of travel. I totally recommend and I will continue to book with them. Thank you for caring.
Thank you so much, Janine! Your words mean a lot to us. We really do spend a lot of time trying to find experience that will benefit the community so it means a lot when our guests recognise that.
I think I looked into using seek Sophie because someone had mentioned that the experience they had was both less expensive and more exclusive, in the sense that there were fewer tourists in the same area. I'd agree with that assessment and I was happy that the tour offered by seek Sophie met both of those criteria. I think the company's good for people who maybe want the roadless traveled, and perhaps a little bit less developed, and less luxury travel. I'm definitely going to look for tours in the future on seek. Sophie and I thought it did a wonderful job. If I were to offer suggestion, I'd say that occasionally communication gets lost between the traveler and the guide, and there's a delay in communication when seek Sophie is in the middle, and that led to some confusion for me and also resulted in me booking a date that I had hoped to move to a different date. And I think that's actually a pretty severe problem. So if the communication lines could be kept open a little differently, it would ease the confusion of booking.
Thanks so much for the in depth review, Ed! Really means a lot to us that you've identified what kind of travel we are all about - the type that sends people on a road less travelled. And I'm very sorry to hear about the communication issue. We tried to find exchange between yourself and our internal trip curator team, however we couldn't find anything. Would you be able to give us a shout and let us know what happened exactly. Want to make sure we resolve this and prevent it from happening in the future.
We completed a 3D2N Kinabatangan river cruise and were sooo lucky. The wonderful location of our guesthouse, the great food, enthusiast guides and seeing all animals of the Borneo Big 5 were a dream adventure. We are so thankful for your quick responses, the great organisation, the easy booking process and fair prices.
Thank you, Phaedra! So happy to hear you got to see the Big 5! Happy travels!
Outstanding trip. From start to finish it was so special and the staff were incredible. We saw all 5 of the borneo 5 within the first day. The night cruise was particularly great; it just amazed us the skills and knowledge our the guide Bill to be able to find the smallest bird, owl, hornbill, snake in such a vast area only using a torch. In our second day our guide Ivy was so funny and made the experience fun- we were in a crocodile convoy for about 15 minutes which was amazing! The night walk was very cool, saw a huntsman spider, dragonfly, smallest species of kingfisher, bats, owls, frogs, stick insects etc- learned a lot about the animals here! The room was so comfortable, the food was delicious- the unsung heroes being the catering staff and chefs! Honestly the best thing we did on our travels- highly recommend! Make sure you bring long sleeves and trousers for the jungle walks and night activities! Perfect pace too, over the 1.5 days of activities we fit in 2 afternoon cruises, a jungle walk, a night jungle walk, a sunrise cruise and a night cruise- so many activities but never ever felt rushed or tired with plenty of time to relax in between. They are very respectful to the animals too and focus on our safety and not to disturb the animals too much. There’s also a really nice cafe called River Bean next to the lodge for people who want a proper coffee in the morning and is open until late. 10/10 trip for us!
Thanks so much for the detailed review, AS. Glad your Kinabatangan River experience went well. This is still one of our favourite places in the world to see wildlife even after all these years. It's a truly magical place and we are so glad you got to see it!
Seek Sophie is the best way to get a unique and interesting (non-tourist trap) experience! I really enjoyed it, and the booking process was hassle free.
Thanks so much for the review, Sankar. Glad we could show our worth :)
