Thank you for the excellent services, my friends and I enjoyed the trip to Flores (Labuan Bajo - Maumere) and we would recommend Seek Sophie to anyone out there for these few reasons; for being flexible, customer centric, responsive, accommodative, and most importantly, reasonably priced.

Response from Seek Sophie

Yay thank you so much Isaac!!! We’re so happy you enjoyed your epic road trip, and that we were able to help 😊😊 Thank you for supporting local businesses in Flores - it means the world 💚

It was an amazing experience! I booked a 2 days trekking trip incl. a night in a home stay starting in Sapa. The team of Seek Sophie was super helpful and supporting for any questions upfront as well as when I was searching for a bus back to Hanoi afterwards. Also our guide, a woman of one of the mountain villages, was super nice and fun. She did speak good english so that you could learn from her a lot about the local living. I fully recommend the trip and the company, in specific!

Response from Seek Sophie

Yay we're so glad we were able to help, and that you had a great time!! :) Sapa is one of our favourite places for ecotourism - your spending goes a really long way to helping the women there. Thank you for supporting us, and the local communities in Sapa! It really means the world :)

I booked the full day Wilpattu National Park Safari in Sri Lanka and was already quite impressed by the great customer service which was super quick, amazingly friendly and helpful which helped me to make the right choice. The organisation they are working with to do the safari could not have been better. They introduced me to the huge diversity of wildlife, treated the wildlife/nature which great respect and shared lots of information about the wildlife, the great work that they are doing besides the safari tours (research, working with the government to protect the wildlife, educating locals and much more). Besides a naturalist also a photographer was with us and I received an email with amazing photos of what we have seen during the safari as well as the name of it. Up to today (6 weeks after the safari) I still share and talk about my experience I made and would always book it again. As I was so happy with the service and the experience, I booked the 3 day hike in Sapa Vietnam, which was an unforgetable experience as well. Also there the service was on the same high level and I am already checking what the next adventure could be. I wish seeksophie all the best and that they grow further to provide these sustainable and responsible travel opportunities to many more to come! You are doing an amazing job there!

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Annika, thank you so much for taking the time to give us such amazing feedback! Appe Kale in Sri Lanka and Sapa Sisters in Vietnam are doing incredible work to support wildlife and cultural conservation in their respective communities - we're really grateful that you chose to support them through your travels, and through using Seek Sophie! :) We look forward to your next adventure!

I was put through a delightful lady called jacinta to help with my query regarding day trips. She was prompt, efficient, and communicated with perfect English. She was extremely helpful and kind and I thoroughly recommend this service.

Response from Seek Sophie

So glad we were able to help with your trip - made our day! Have an amazing time! 😊😊😊

Probably the best website to book your trips, tours or experiences. They also offer a 10% discount after booking, which means cheaper prices than even booking directly with the operators. We dived with Scuba Junkies in Mabul (Semporna) and everything was really well organized. You can pay in advance, which makes it a lot easier. Thanks a lot. We will be coming again.

Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you for your review, Javi :)We're really glad you enjoyed your dives!

Booked three tours (Diving in Sipadan, Danum Valley and Mt Kinabalu) with them. All tours were perfectly organised and planned!

Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you Romano! We’re so glad you had a good trip 😊😊😊

I used Seek Sophie for several experiences across Singapore and Bali during a recent visit by family, including two children. These included sea kayaking at Pulau Ubin, pottery in Tiong Bahru, sea turtle conservation on Saba Beach and sourcing good drivers with child seats to take us around in Bali. Each time Seek Sophie was highly responsive and gave clear details of where I needed to be and what I needed to bring. For the activities I chose, my guides were clearly passionate about showing people their world and sharing their local knowledge. My family’s visit to SE Asia was definitely enhanced by these experiences and I will definitely use them again for more local-run adventures across the region.

Response from Seek Sophie

Amazing! So glad we were able to help with your trips :) Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review!

I just spent two weeks in Bali and had an amazing time with the help of the Seek Sophie staff! It was my second time in Bali and this time I wanted to get off the beaten path. With the help of Seek Sophie, I managed to do just that! It was super easy to find activities and guides on the site and the staff provided me a ton of suggestions on what to do and where to go when I let them know the type of trip my girlfriend and I wanted. We went on three separate trips with Seek Sophie's recommendations: 1) hiring a driver for day of off the beaten path sightseeing (amazing food and beach stops with Justin, the best driver ever!), hiking up Mt.Batur at sunrise and avoiding all the normal crowds, going with a surf camp that helped me catch my first waves. All our guides and drivers were super knowledgeable about the different areas of the island and spoke great English. Normally I like to plan everything and do a ton of research beforehand to find the best deals for activities but I found the prices that the prices on the Seek Sophie site were a lot better than the prices on the ground. I would highly recommend going through their platform to book your next trip!

Charmaine is amazing!! She helped me set up my whole trip at the last minute, kept in touch with me during the trip and even helped extend it when I needed it. Can't say enough nice things. The website is quite nice and gives you relevant info. Payment process works well and easily. Thanks a lot!

SeekSophie is the perfect way to explore the most amazing places in South East Asia with the most knowledgeable, professional and hospitable guides. The SeekSophie team is extremely passionate about traveling and full of inspiring ideas - super responsive and always willing to go the extra mile to come up with customized and unique trips even on short notice (and I mean really really short notice). Went to places as high as Mount Kinabalu and as deep as Nusa Penida's Manta Point with them and I am sure they are also awesome everywhere in between. Can highly recommend to all the adventurous people out there seeking the unique travel experience without all the planning, hassle and multi-hour tripadvisor browsing normally required for that. Go and find Sophie :)

We booked our hike up Mt Kinabalu through Seek Sophie and they made sure we got an excellent guide, provided us with all the information we needed to prepare for and enjoy the trip and helped us find somewhere to stay (and lots of great things to eat!) in KK. They were extremely responsive and from speaking to other travelers, we were also reassured to know we paid a fair price and did not get ripped off (which others had been).So pleased that we’ve just booked our next hiking adventure with them in Indonesia

I went on two trips in Borneo through Seek Sophie earlier this year. I don't think I would have found either trip without the help of the Seek Sophie website, which opened up totally new areas of Borneo for me to explore. The site was easy to use and full of helpful tips and details which meant I was able to choose the right adventure for me and my girlfriend. In booking my trips to difficult-to-reach places in Borneo, I was reassured by the fact the Seek Sophie team were personally recommending the tours and guides on the site, and by the detailed photo catalogue and itinerary for each. For both trips, my guides were very knowledgeable and taught me through personal stories that only locals know, which really added to my enjoyment of the experience and understanding of the environment I was exploring. I would absolutely recommend Seek Sophie to others and hope that there are lots more places to explore on the site soon, to help me to plan my next holiday!

Excellent service and fantastic product! The team is very responsive and caring, helping to plan itineraries and answering all sorts of questions. The adventures they offer are carefully selected and provided by the best local guides. It makes for an exceptionally authentic experience!

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Arli

We're so happy you had a good experience!! Our mission is to make it loads easier for travellers to get off the beaten path, and to connect them with otherwise offline local guides, so it really makes our day that we were able to help :)

Was easy to use and book tours. Seek Sophie do not run the tours and the local tour guides run the tours.

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Thao,

Thanks so much for your review :) We’re really glad you found it easy to book with us. You’re right, we don’t run the tours ourselves. We work with local guides and hosts because they know their places best, and because we want tourism to better support local communities. We carefully handpick and try out the experiences we list, so travellers can find the best hosts who are making an impact. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this!

The outing was excellent, exactly as described. I appreciate that it was a locally owned company. Only complaint is that I didn’t hear back from the company after Sophie sent the confirmation; the handoff from Sophie to the company was unclear how or who would make pickup arrangements

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Rick, thank you so much for the kind words about the experience itself — and also for the honest feedback about the handoff. You're absolutely right, and that's on us to fix. The moment between booking confirmation and the operator reaching out is exactly where we work hard to make things smooth, and it sounds like that didn't happen for you. We've passed this back to the team to look into. Really appreciate you flagging it, and so glad the trip itself lived up to what was described. Team Seek Sophie 💛

We loved our stay at the farm, the cooking class, and the Khao Sok lake. I do wish communication was better and details about transport options were provided beforehand.

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Lorelin, thank you so much for the kind words about the farm, the cooking class, and the lake — we love that combination too. And thank you for the honest feedback about the comms and transport details. You're absolutely right; that's exactly the kind of pre-trip information we want to get to travellers earlier and more clearly, and we've passed this back to the team to look into. Really appreciate you flagging it. Team Seek Sophie 💛

(Translated by Google) A unique experience in Komodo National Park. A variety of activities. Enjoy an experience with a limited number of passengers and a wonderful concept for those who love sharing and engaging in meaningful conversations. The chefs are passionate and offer fresh, delicious, and varied dishes despite limited kitchen resources! The crew adds a personal touch and will do everything to ensure your satisfaction. A little tip: I suggest you check the weather forecast and consider traveling outside the rainy season, as the weather is very unpredictable during this period. (Original) Expérience unique dans le parc de Komodo. Activités variés. Profitez d’une expérience avec un nombre de passagers restreints et un beau concept pour ceux qui aime partager et avoir de belles discussions avec les autres. Les cuisiniers sont passionnés et offres des plats frais, succulents et variés malgré des moyens modeste en cuisine! L’équipage apporte une touche personnalisée et feront tout pour vous satisfaire. Petit conseil: Je vous suggère de valider la météo et privilégier votre voyage hors de la saison des pluies car la météo est très imprévisible pendant cette période.

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Michel, so happy to hear you enjoyed your Komodo experience. Sounds like you didn't have the best weather, I'm sorry to hear that! You are correct that during this time (late December - early March) the weather can be quite unpredictable and rainy and it also varies quite a bit from year to year. I hope it didn't ruin your experience! If there's anything else we can do to get your 5 star review, do let us know! You can contact us at chat@seeksophie.com. Hope to hear from you!

Overall smooth and easy though there were some confusion over the bookings. Good thing it was rectified with ease and speed. However, will be best to cut out unnecessary forms to fill.

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Loke, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear you had some issues with your booking with us. We have followed up with our partner who was requesting quite a lot of additional information prior to the start of your workshop and have asked them to no longer request it. Your feedback is super important to us as it helps to improve the experience going forward to future customers. Thank you so much for taking the time once again! We hope to do better next time :)

Coffee Appreciation and Sensory Workshop was a very engaging team-bonding activity for us. We learnt so much about coffee and we really enjoyed the stories shared by Izz and Aden. I will definitely visit Compound Coffee Co. soon. Special shout out to Kai En who has been so prompt and helpful to my numerous enquiries. :-)

Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Shirley

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a kind review! It means the world to us to hear that you had a great time. We’re so glad you enjoyed learning from Izz and Aden, and we’ll pass your shout-out to Kai En :)

Compound coffee is doing amazing work in giving back to local communities and promoting sustainable farming. They're helping small holder farmers in Java earn a better livelihood, and at the same time protecting traditional and more sustainable farming practices. Your support of their work really makes a difference in the lives of the farmers and the land they protect. So thank you so much for choosing this impactful experience for your team.

Super responsive! Initially showed my tour date was unavailable but they were able to get the Website updated with the date I wanted. Tour went amazing.

This is my third time booking with Seek Sophie. It is reliable and hassle-free. The local guides/contacts are usually English-speaking and professional. For the latest Mt Batur hike, it would’ve been better if it was explicitly mentioned on the booking page that the hike does not go to the summit of Mt Batur.

Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re so glad you’ve trusted us with your trips multiple times! For the Mt Batur experience, the listing did state that it was a caldera hike (which is shorter and doesn’t go to the summit), but we completely understand how that might not have been clear enough. We’ve since worked with our host to make the description even clearer so future travellers know exactly what to expect. Really appreciate you pointing this out!
