I used Seek Sophie to book tours in Borneo and Bali, they offered seamless communication with tour provided in case of questions.
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks, Alejandra! We’re so glad Seek Sophie could be useful across different parts of your trip, rather than just for one booking. It’s lovely to hear the communication with the local teams made things easier along the way.

Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks, Noel! We’re really glad the booking process felt easy and straightforward. We want the planning part to take as little effort as possible so you can spend more time looking forward to the actual experience.

That was a blessing to find a service providers who understands the importance of supporting local businesses and hosts, and to cater to tourists who seek unique opportunities and sustainable travel!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you, Emili! This really means a lot because finding thoughtful local hosts and experiences is at the heart of what we’re trying to do. We’re so glad that side of Seek Sophie came through in your trip, and we hope to help with the next one too.

Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you, Siddhartha! We’re really glad this was such a positive part of your trip. Reviews like this mean a lot to our small team — hope to see you back for another experience soon!

This was a well organised and beautiful trip, everything was communicated really well, the trip was great value as it included all meals and boat tours, our guides were great, really enjoyed everything
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks, Emma! 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!

Thanks, Athena! 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.

Seek Sophie offers some incredible tours that put local people and local tourism at the heart of what they do.Their experiences are varied, meaning there is something for everyone. We had to get in touch with them as our original gift voucher had been for a tour in Indonesia but due to cancelled flights we altered our travel plans and went to Vietnam instead. Seek Sophie helped convert the original experience into a gift voucher so we were still able to redeem this on a different experience. Their customer service team were super kind and very efficient!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you, Clara! We’re really glad we could help turn a disrupted Indonesia plan into something you could still enjoy in Vietnam. Travel plans can change fast, so it means a lot that our team could make the voucher switch feel easy.

Smooth pick up, friendly driver and guide, elephants seem genuinely happy in their natural habitat without unnecessary interference. Loved every minute of it!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks, L! We’re so glad you enjoyed the day — and especially that the elephants appeared relaxed and able to just be elephants without unnecessary interaction. That’s a really important part of why we choose the experiences we list.

Seeksophie provides many tours and guides that arent the most commonly trekked path. Which i truly enjoy as someone that likes to explore. Would recommend to anyone who is adventurous in travelling!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you, Aaron! We’re so glad the trekking experience was worth the effort and that the local team made you feel well looked after along the way. Those challenging days often end up being the ones you remember most.

We had this tour organized for two people departing from Denpasar and being dropped off in Surabaya.We were picked up in Seminyak, Denpasar, exactly on time. Having spent a few days in Denpasar prior, we knew that traffic can be challenging for cars. We did make it to Kawah Ijen well on schedule, which in total took about 8 hours. This is quite the journey, after which you go on a rather intense and challenging hike.The tour information could have shown more details on what to wear. It is physically hard work in chilly/cold conditions. You see many people there wearing jackets, face masks, and beanies. Wear shoes with a good profile for grip. While you are standing still, you will cool down quickly, but when you are climbing, you will warm up fast. So wear clothes that you can easily open/take off and close/put back on. You can also let yourself be carried on a cart.There will be many people on the same trail. Especially the descent into the crater is very narrow.Down in the crater, the guides can light the sulfur themselves, so you are guaranteed to see the flames. Many people are taking pictures of and with the flames. So if you want those pictures, you have to wait for your turn, as it is first come, first served.We saw the natural blue flames further down in the crater, in the area where only the local miners could enter. Only from 5:00 am onwards would that section be opened for public access. When we went, we could choose to stay there for another 2 hours or go up to the sunrise point and arrive in time for sunrise.Ascending the crater is a steep climb while many people are on their way down.Personally, I found it challenging, which I enjoy. We were two guys in decent shape who liked to go at quite a pace. We were not the first to leave when the trail opened, but we were among the first down in the crater. Our guide, Jay, did a great job, spoke good English, was funny, and was very interested in us. We had a great time with him, and he took all the care of us that we could have wished for.I had a great experience at Kawah Ijen, and the guide and driver did everything we could expect from them.We were very tired starting the hike after the journey all the way from Denpasar. I would recommend finding a way to start more rested. After checking out at 11:00 am on Friday, we would not see a bed or shower until 2:00 pm on Saturday. After a total of 14 hours of travelling and spending the whole night on the mountain trail, I was very eager to shower and sleep in a bed. If you manage to catch some sleep in a driving car, I envy you :p.We had our accommodation in Cemorolawang. Here, we had plenty of time to eat, shower, and rest. In the evening, we noticed that it was already quite a bit colder here than at Kawah Ijen. We rented a jacket from the accommodation and bought a Mt. Bromo beanie and face mask. There are plenty of people who sell these. There are also plenty of options for getting food.The Mt. Bromo tour is a lot easier than the Kawah Ijen tour. Most of the distance is covered by Jeep.We departed at 2:00 am from the accommodation, parked at 2:45 am, and spent well over an hour at a warung. It was starting to get very crowded. We had a 10–15-minute walk, which was steep at times but nothing challenging.We arrived at the sunrise point around 4:20–4:30 am, where we had to wait well over an hour for sunrise to start. The view of the craters is amazing from up here, and we had great spots. During all this time, we were very happy with the rented jackets and beanie.Next, you go to the Tengger Caldera. This is the crater that you saw continuously fuming.Getting back down takes a while. The road is completely blocked by Jeeps, and if you are far up to get the best view early, it means you will be one of the last to get down. By this time, the sun is getting pretty hot, and the next thing you can do is walk all the way to the crater and climb the stairs. Definitely leave some of the warm clothes in the car and replace them with sunscreen and sunglasses ;).Horses, motorbikes, and people kick up the sand, so be prepared for a lot of dust.The view down into the crater is amazing and well worth the climb!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you for such a thoughtful and useful review, Thijs. Your point about giving clearer guidance on what to wear and how physically demanding Ijen can be is especially helpful — we’ll take that onboard. We’re very glad Jay and the team looked after you so well through what is definitely an intense adventure!

The experience I booked went according to plan and communications with the organizer were always timely. Would book a tour with them again!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks so much, Luke! 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 was looking for a local tour guide operated so the funds stay and support locals. Booking through Seek Sophie meant I didn’t need to research a whole lot as they had already done it.
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks, JC! Glad we could help you save time on research and give more time to enjoy the actual experience!

Im a little hesitant to provide a review as the adventures or activities have been so good. Ssssh! The tours were away from the normal crowds and provided a different experience. So far we have done 4 activities and we feel like we have struck gold. We'll done Seeking Sophie!
Response from Seek Sophie

So glad you liked the experiences that you want to gatekeep hahah! But we really appreciate you taking the time to review :)

We had a wonderful experience traveling with Sun as our driver from Chiang Mai to Chiang Dao and on to Chiang Rai. From start to finish, she was incredibly warm, polite, respectful, and caring.Communication was seamless—Sun was consistently punctual and always kept us updated on local road conditions and traffic ahead of time, ensuring our days ran smoothly without ever feeling rushed. What impressed us most was her flexibility: she went out of her way to adapt our schedule on the fly so we could maximize what we saw stress-free.Navigating the winding mountain roads of Northern Thailand can be daunting, but Sun made the drive feel completely safe and effortless. Along the way, she shared fantastic local tips, rich insights into the temples, and great recommendations that added a personal touch to our trip.If you are looking for a reliable, warm, and professional driver in Northern Thailand, we cannot recommend Sun highly enough. Thank you, Sun, for making our family trip so memorable!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks so much for the heartfelt review, Scott! So glad Sun was such a good and accommodating driver. It means a lot when we are able to get our customers to confirm what we thought all along about our partners :) We’ll sure to share this with her.

We had such a great experience on our Mount Ijen hike with Seeking Sophie, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guides, Johnny and Jay! They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about everyone in the group. They remembered all of our names, constantly checked in on us throughout the hike, and made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and included. They also made the whole experience really fun and took some amazing photos for us along the way. It was clear that they really wanted us to enjoy the trip, and their warmth and energy made the hike so much more memorable. Would definitely recommend booking the Ijen hike through Seeking Sophie, and if you get the chance, ask for Johnny and Jay. you will be in great hands!
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi Zixin,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review :)

We're so glad you had such a great time at Ijen! We're so happy to hear you loved Johnny and Jay. As travellers ourselves, we know that great guides make a world of difference, which is why we work with guides who really care about giving travellers a great experience. It really makes our day to hear that you had such a great time ❤️

The experience was amazing. Guides were helpful and cheering. The views were emaculate without any rush or traffic, that was the highlight. We were hardly 10 people including guides.

I’ve booked activities with Seek Sophie twice in Bali, and both experiences were excellent—so much so that I gave them 5-star reviews each time. Their activities are thoughtfully curated, well organized, and make it easy to have meaningful experiences while traveling.What I especially admire is Seek Sophie’s mission and community-based approach. It’s wonderful to support a company that values local communities, responsible tourism, and genuine connections. I’ll be using Seek Sophie again to book activities in Yogyakarta, and I’m looking forward to discovering more of Indonesia through their platform. Highly recommended!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks so much for the kind words, Michelle! It means a lot to us when our customers recognizes us for the efforts we have put in to make sure we are promoting local communities. And thank you for the trust! We look forward to hosting you on another experience soon :)

We really enjoyed the local perspectives (Rinca village walk & hand line fishing), care and hospitality (extended time for our son to nap on boat while waiting for land transfer) from the guides.
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks so much for the review, Jun! Happy to hear you enjoyed your trip and could have your son along for the ride too :)

What a beautiful and gorgeous experience. The scenery, food, and people of Munduk were exceptional. It was a wonderful tour. From trying different fruit from the local market, and eating breakfast overlooking beautiful scenery, to swimming under waterfalls, and hiking through an ancient forest. I especially enjoyed the canoe across Lake Tamblingan, I felt very magical. I would recommend doing this tour and seeing what Munduk is all about!^^
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you for the review, Kippy! So glad you got to experience Munduk with our partners. It’s one of our fave experiences too!

I booked two experiences in Bali through Seek Sophie, and they were both outstanding. One was a visit to the firefly conservationist north of Ubud, the other was cheese tasting in Sanur. Both highly recommended!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thank you for the review and for being a repeat customer, Erika! The fireflies experience is our fave!! Glad you got to meet Wayan :)

We had an absolutely amazing experience! A huge thank you to our your guide Bow who made our experience so enjoyable. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure that we had the best trip we could. She ensured that all of the activities were to our liking (we did not want to do hiking, and she suggested doing an extra boat tour to look for animals- much more our speed!) and made sure that the food served fit our needs (one meal was supposed to include fried fish, which we don't eat, and she ensured that our meal instead came with chicken). It was such a beautiful experience. We saw bison, monkeys, birds, lizards, and so many beautiful islands! Bow and our boat driver were experts at spotting the animals from a distance and guiding us to finding them with our binoculars. (Bow was also a fabulous photographer!) We did an overnight lake tour in Kao Sok. We stayed in a floating raft house, which was the most incredible experience. This was especially wonderful during storm season. We were able to do boat tours and not worry about the ocean waves from storms!
Response from Seek Sophie

Hi!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a kind review :)

Khao Sok is one of our favourite places, and we're so glad you got to experience it in such a magical way! A great guide really makes all the difference, and it sounds like Bow went above and beyond to make the trip perfect for you. And it's amazing that you got to see so much wildlife along the way!

Hope the memories stay with you for a long time and we look forward to seeing you on another Seek Sophie adventure in the future ❤️

Only company which starts really early- and it's so worth it!! Super friendly contact! Amazing guides and Crew! Tiny group (7 by us) safety 🛟 and protection of the Wildlife and marine life is highest priority and also of the guests! Our guide even took care about other costumers of a different company which got somehow "lost" in the water(Snorkeling) by their guide!...Highly recommend this!! Don't think twice just go for it!!
Response from Seek Sophie

Thanks for the review, Tanja! Glad your Komodo trip went well and you got to get there early and beat the crowds :)
