Not all guides are created equal. Some guides only show you around, but some can change the way you see the world. They make you feel deeply connected to a place and might even leave you a little transformed. These are the guides we’re so proud to work with at Seek Sophie.

That’s why we’re super excited to introduce our Superhero badges! These badges celebrate Seek Sophie hosts who are making the world a better place. From breaking barriers as the first female guide in Lombok (when women weren’t allowed to climb mountains!) to uplifting their communities - these are true heroes.

Look out for these six Superhero badges on Seek Sophie:

💃🏻 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻-𝗟𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: Incredible women breaking taboos and creating opportunities for other women in societies where it’s far from easy.

♻️ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿: Hosts taking a stand against plastic waste with reusable bottles, eco-packaging, and planet-friendly practices.

🐘 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: Animal lovers who ensure you experience wildlife safely and without disturbing their natural lives.

🌱 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼: Sustainability champions using solar power, electric vehicles, and local produce to reduce their environmental footprint.

🌿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗡𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: Nature guardians who leave no trash, no harm—just pristine, untouched beauty.

🏡 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻: Hosts who give back by creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and preserving their cultural traditions.

When you book with a superhero, you’re helping them make the world a little better!

Exploring North Vietnam with

We spent nine incredible days soaking in the beauty of North Vietnam, from the vibrant streets of Hanoi to the calm waters of Halong Bay. But nothing compared to the Ha Giang Loop—a motorbike ride through winding mountain roads with the wind in our faces, and a campsite so stunning it could have been plucked from a postcard. It honestly took our breath away!

Captured with , these aren’t just photos—they’re memories that left us in awe. From epic landscapes to the little moments, and stories waiting to be discovered around every corner, each shot captures a little piece of that magic. Swipe through to experience it with us.

It’s been inspiring to see the strength and resilience of communities in Asia following the impact of Typhoon Yagi. Our Seek Sophie guides in North Vietnam are working hard to recover as well.

We know some of you are concerned about your upcoming trips, but we encourage you to keep you bookings if you are able to. We believe that tourism can be a powerful way to support local businesses as they rebuild, and your visit would mean the world to them especially during this recovery period. Many places, including the hardest hit areas like Sapa and Cat Ba are already reopening (check out our Typhoon Yagi highlight stories for details!), and many of our guides have started accepting bookings again.

Swipe to meet some of our amazing guides! From taking you on a trek up Mount Fansipan, to an authentic Vietnamese cooking class, to paragliding off a cliff and even guiding you through a fascinating tea ceremony — they’re all such passionate, hardworking people who pour their hearts into showing travelers the beauty of their home.

Hipster haven meets jungle getaway: This is Chiang Mai with 🥰

Chiang Mai is our favourite city in Thailand because it has a mix of everything we love — all things nature, adventure, artsy, with the perfect amount of chill!

Some of our favourite moments were spent:
✨ spending time with gentle giants in their natural environment
✨ disconnecting from the world at a super cool jungle art camp
✨ beautiful nature hikes and rafting
✨ and of course, all the cool cafes and glamping stays!

𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 — 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙩𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙩!⁠

Head out with Seek Sophie's host to the mangroves at Seletar which are much quieter, and denser than those in the regularly visited Ubin.⁠

Going on a kayak trip with the team at The Unexpected is super mysterious - each trip is highly dependent on the tides, so we might not know the route for the day until the last moment! Think of it like kayaking, Omakase style - you don't know what you're going to get, but trust your guide and you'll have the best time!⁠

Other than being able to experience mangroves away from the crowds, our guests’ favourite part of the trip is having lunch on a secret island – a simple and quick meal of noodles in between paddles 🤤⁠

📣 New adventure unlocked! Introducing @‌seeksophie’s that no one has heard of — Sumba, Indonesia

A well-kept secret among travellers, we were first drawn to Sumba for its epic Icelandic landscapes that look straight out of a Wes Anderson film (swipe to see!)

The best thing? Sumba is so remote and unknown that we practically had the whole island to ourselves. Here, centuries old villages have remained unchanged. Life is simpler and time moves slower, reminding us of what travel used to be like.

Here are our top 5 highlights:
✨ Endless green rolling hills - our faves are Palindi Piarakuku Hill & Wairinding Hill for sunset!
✨ ⁠Lapopu Waterfall - an epic 90m multitiered waterfall
✨ ⁠Ratenggaro Village - one of the most iconic thatched-roof villages on the island
✨ Weekuri Lagoon - a hidden oasis with clear turquoise waters
✨ Wild horses roaming around the island!

Discover Sumba with @‌seeksophie. LINK IN BIO to book this Seek Sophie Sumba road trip now!

Happy International Women’s Day! Today’s all about celebrating the amazing women in our lives! Swipe to meet some of the superheroes we get to work with – each one a total force in her community!

Tourism in Asia (and everywhere, honestly!) is a bit of a boys’ club. The women who break through tend to be total badasses. And the amazing thing is, they’re not just out there hustling (which is seriously inspiring), they’re also lifting up whole communities with them.

As a women-led team ourselves at Seek Sophie, we’re all about championing women-owned businesses across Asia. Because when we support these businesses, we’re creating a better future for everyone. It’s not just about the women themselves, it’s about the communities they hold up.

So here’s to ! 💪

Who’s having Taylor concert withdrawals already?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ We still can’t get over Monday night’s concert - it was insane.

Loved seeing everyone’s era outfits (that guy with the Reputation album drawn on his face wins!). And the sets were seriously out of this world. The Evermore set was so gorgeous that it inspired us to put together this photoset 🍂. Swipe to the end to see the original album cover - did we do it justice?!

Are you ready for it? Taylor Swift is here in Singapore and to celebrate, we’ve put together a photoset inspired by her Midnights era ✨

We had so much fun doing this and we can’t wait to see her next week 😍 What era should we do next?

The best experience in Bali that only few know about: camping at lake Tamblingan 😌✨

When we did this experience earlier this year, we thought it would just be a simple forest hike. But it turned out to be so much more than that and it’s now our favourite Bali experience!

Hike under towering centuries-old trees, soak in epic waterfalls, canoe across the peaceful Tamblingan lake, discover ancient temple and camp under the stars 🤩

Since then, we’ve raved about it to our friends and family, sent our Seek Sophie creators on it, and you guys have booked it too!

We love sharing Seek Sophie experiences like these with you. Experiences that we really love and vouch for, would do again in a heartbeat, and want everyone else to experience 🥰

Fansipan is super tough and should only be for people who want to challenge themselves, and say they’ve hiked the highest mountain in Indochina!

Here are our top 5 tips.
1. Difficulty: This is a very difficult hike with lots of ladders and boulders, so you should definitely be physically and mentally prepared!
2. Best way to see it: You can choose to do a one day or 2D1N hike. We’d recommend doing the 2D1N hike so that you can see Fansipan at sunrise. But you should definitely take a cable car down, because the route down is exactly the same as up and not interesting enough!
3. Accommodation: If you do the 2D1N, you’ll stay in super basic mountain huts at the top. It’s likely to be noisy so don’t expect much sleep.
4. Weather: Fansipan is notorious for clouds, mist and fog and the beautiful view at the summit might be covered by fog so it will always be a gamble! But your chances of clear weather are highest in the dry season from late September to early December!
5. Don’t do Fansipan and a Sapa trek back to back. Give yourself a break in between to rest. Trust us, you’ll need it!
