As a travel agent I have to deal with a lot of suppliers but I can honestly say that dealing with Rina at seek Sophie was an absolute pleasure compared to many. She was quick to respond & understood what I needed & I had a great outcome. Cant thank you enough Rina!!

Went to a humane elephant sanctuary called Chang Chill with seek sophie. It was such a good experience. We saw the elephants in the forest, left food for them in the feeding tubes and watched them bathe. They had cahouts looking afte them who knew them well. Worthwhile experience. Would highly recommend

Hi Julia
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that you loved your experience at Chang Chill. When we visited Chiang Mai ourselves, we found it so tough to find a truly humane elephant sanctuary—so many places call themselves ethical but still allow touching and bathing. That’s why we were so excited when we found Chang Chill! The way they let the elephants just be elephants, with their mahouts caring for them from a respectful distance, is so special. So glad you got to experience it too! :)

I have not yet gone on my trip with Seek Sophie, but the service so far has been great! I was worried about loosing out on a spot on the Komodo boat trip I was interested in, but I had some questions first. Rina was really helpful and kind, and responded very quickly to my questions. Can't wait to go on the trip!

Response from Seek Sophie
Hi Iain,
IT gremlins are the worst!! We're so happy Michelle was able to scare them off—if the gremlins ever sneak back, you know where to find us. Thanks for the lovely review!

My family of 4 was looking to book a 3D2N Komodo trip with Seek Sophie. We reached out with questions. Rina promptly answered our queries via email. Our email exchange was over a few days and Rina got back to us quickly every time with thoughtful answers. We booked online through their website. The booking process was smooth and we got confirmation of our booking almost immediately. We can't wait for our trip!

An outstanding experience, from the moment we were greeted to the heartbeat we departed the boat, just a sensation experience.. The thing that made this trip was the crew... To start of with we choose Seek Sophie because of the itinerary and size of the boat, reviews played a HUGE part in our decision and I am glad we did our homework, we were greeted by Roy a gentleman in all his rights, his English was amazing, extremely attentive to all the guests needs and a pleasure to be around, once abord the boat Roy gave all of us a safety briefing and then assigned rooms according to the booking... Very simple and direct, after all that was done we were off, the ship was clean well staffed and easy to navigate, it almost felt as if it was one crewmember to 2 guests, the ships layout was very comfortable, two suites in the rear and I believe the rest up front. the suites were spacious for the size of the boat with a sliding door that separates the bathroom from the sleeping quarters. The dining area was in the middle of the ship right next to the kitchen, the food was custom and prepared with heart and care. meals were substantial and snacks were provided in-between. the bow of the ship was clean and well appointed with chairs, couches and pillow like seating. The crew were always available for anything needed and most of the time they were ahead of our needs.
Roy and Rey ( the onboard photographer) were fun to interact with, humor and safety were noticeable but by the end of day one we all started to feel like family. The excursions were nothing short of amazing as promised, snorkeling in the clearest waters seeing fish and wildlife not seen in or around the US, the island of Komodo was breathtaking with dragons sunning themselves on the beach and cooling off in the shade of the trees, this NOT a gimmick this is the real thing, walking among Komodo dragons is a feeling that has no words. Then end of our second day we found a spot where manta's were feeding, we all hopped in the water and watched manta rays, just a surreal interaction with nature. This tour was worth every cent invested, the care and dedication from the crew was comforting and impressive, we as a boat had the opportunity to pass other boats with tours on them and seeing these boats crammed with people and how tight their quarters were made me even more comfortable with our decision with Seek Sophie..
Things to be aware of::
The internet situation is poor, its not the ship, its the actual internet around these island is poor, the ship offered wifi, but if your phone doesn't have a connection neither will the boat.
Bring sunscreen and sunglasses
Bring money........ you will need to produce the fee"s in cash before you embark the boat for the Komodo island entrance fee.
Bring more than one pair of footwear.... you will be on a crazy amazing hike for a sunrise and flip flops wont cut it...
and enough to tip the crew when you depart THEY WILL DEFINATLY EARN EVERY DOLLAR..
