Three fantastic experiences... and hopefully more to come!
We have enjoyed 3 experiences through Seek Sophie now.
We first did a private Komodo cruise, which was just incredible! Our guide took great care of our family, consulted us and tailored the schedule to our needs.
After such a positive experience it made sense to book through Seek Sophie again for our recent trip to Khao Sok in Thailand. We booked a night safari and a raft house stay and both were fantastic activities with competent, trustworthy guides.
For all activities we have done via Seek Sophie the booking process has been smooth, all exclusions and cancellation policies have been very transparent and there have been no hidden charges. They have put me in touch with the hosts via WhatsApp which has been very convenient. The prices are very reasonable and comparable with what you will find in country. We will use Seek Sophie again, I'm sure!

Thank you, Clare. We really appreciate you giving us the chance to make things right after the weather disrupted your Khao Sok trip. We know it was disappointing to miss activities you were looking forward to, so it means a lot that you felt heard and fairly looked after afterwards.
Thanks so much, Valentina! We’re really glad the communication felt clear and responsive — travel planning comes with plenty of questions, so we never think they’re annoying. Happy we could make the process a little easier for you.
I used seek Sophia to find local experiences while I was in Bali and it was an amazing experience. They really do an amazing job connecting you with local excursions and activities that help get back to the community, and also allow you to learn from locals.

Thanks, Paige! We’re really glad Seek Sophie helped you find something worthwhile in Bali. We put a lot of care into finding experiences that feel more personal than the usual options, so it’s lovely to hear that came through.
Thanks, Jessica! We’re so glad you had a great experience with us. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this — and we hope we get to help with another adventure soon.
Very easy to book with and see exactly what you are booking and great with communication

Thanks so much, Dan! We’re really happy you had such a good experience with the local team. Great hosts and guides are often what turn a good trip into a memorable one, so it’s lovely to hear they made the difference for you.
Excellent, compact, efficient, fun and also relaxing way of seeing multiple different wildlife via a boat!
Fauzi (Ozi) was our tour guide for the 3d2n boat trip, made us feel very welcomed throughout the experience.

Thanks, Syazril! We’re so glad the boat trip was a great one and that the team looked after you well. Being on the water with a good local crew is hard to beat!
We had an amazing time with Raza Jack on the one night jungle trek! We were lucky enough to see many animals - 7 orangutans , lots of Thomas Leaf Monkeys, giant squirrel, long tail macaques. We were totally alone watching the orangutans and most of other animals which is very special. The lodge you stay at is very comfortable but showers are cold so keep that in mind. The food on the trek is incredible!!! You are very very well fed. I'd recommend packing a pillow and jumper for the overnight stay in jungle as it gets cold, as well as lots of water if you drink lots! The guide will bring a few litres too.
We even got to enjoy dinner with Jack's family which was so nice too!
Jack is a true passionate eco warrior and wants to help the orangutans and jungle stay how they are.
Due to the petrol crisis in Sumatra be prepared for a long car drive, but it is worth it, you will be alone when you see the orangutans and not with anyone else!
Ensure you bring at least 5 million IDR for the cost of transport, tips, and food for outside the trek.

Thank you, Jemima! We’re so happy the orangutan experience lived up to the trip you’d hoped for. Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat, with a great local team guiding the way, is exactly the kind of experience we love helping travellers find.
Delivered what was promised . Great trip. Thank you

Thanks, Heather! We’re so glad you had a great experience with us. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this — and we hope we get to help with another adventure soon.
Great day trip - amazing guides - saw komodo dragons and lots of trurtles - felt very safe and very well looked after with lots of water and food available to make sure we stayed hydrated.
After the recent tragedy where 2 tourists drowned snorkeling I can say this tour had guides in the water with us - and safety rings for flotation if needed.

Thanks so much, Annette! We’re really happy the Komodo/Labuan Bajo experience lived up to expectations. There are a lot of options there, so hearing that you trusted our curation and felt you got good value means a lot to us.
We booked a 2 night Komodo cruise through Seek Sophie and are very happy with the experience. They have curated a shortlist of high quality providers and the booking experience was smooth.

Clearly Sophie does her homework before recommending things. I booked a high quality cycling tour at Ubud through SeekSophie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The tour I booked was awesome, exactly as described and I felt like I was supporting a local business even though I booked through a slick international website.

We booked 2 trips in Indonesia (bike tour in Bali, boat trip in Komodo) and both events were very well organized.

Seek Sophie has given me a chance to understand the depth of a region is so much more than what we first see.
Seek Sophie has given me so much more experience about a place locally than any other “tours” would’ve. 10/10 recommend. My guide was the sweetest and I loved the entire process of reaching the destination, leant a lot from the locals and more about the local diversity.

I had a great time riding a bike through villages and rice paddies!

Thanks, Anastasiia! We’re really glad the bike experience was such a good way to explore. We love tours that let you see a place at a more human pace and get beyond the usual stops.
We did a boat tour with Seek Sophie and we would definitely recommend it! Everything was amazing about it and above all, we’ve always felt safe off and on the boat. The crew and people were amazing as well!
