I had the most incredible experience with Indy Escapes. I did things I never thought I’d be able to do because they made us feel safe. I would definitely go again with them. Amazing people

James and Lucas made everything seamless, and the effort they put in to help make everyone in the group feel safe and have the best time is admirable - they truly took care of everything so all I had to do was show up and soak it in. I swam with whale sharks, manta rays and dolphins, which genuinely felt like once-in-a-lifetime moments I never thought I'd actually tick off. If you're thinking about it, just book it - you won't regret it.

Indy Escapes does an AMAZING job of blending the perfect itinerary of activity, adventure, leisure and most importantly, community. Lucas runs his groups so smoothly, prioritizing the safety and care of all his travelers. Sri Lanka’s beauty is showcased over several different towns with a nice pace of organized events and free time. An excellent addition to the Indy team, James, also joined our tour and helped with coordinating and bringing the vibes. I’d highly recommend Indy Escapes to anyone seeking adventure and community throughout cultures!

Clear water, amazing marine life, and those “this can’t be real” moments every day. Best part was the people. Genuinely fun, easy, and great vibes all around. One of the best trips I’ve done. Highly recommend.

It’s my fourth trip with Indy after doing Egypt, Zanzibar and Bali, and I can’t wait for the next. Bucket list wildlife encounters/wholesome local experiences/new friends for life… Not to mention the incredible team who took amazing care of everyone, making it a fun and inclusive environment for all of us. I’m a solo female traveller in my thirties and had been looking for a travel company that would connect me with likeminded people - I couldn’t be happier stumbling across Indy Escapes. If you’re on the fence, book it… You won’t regret it!

I met so many amazing people that had travelled with Indy Escapes in other destinations and it seemed that the Maldives was the most popular so I decided to sign up and it did not disappoint! Firstly, the people that I have met on the Indy trips have been the highlight, I’ve made genuine connections with people from all over the world. The crowd is full of “young professions” which are essentially people in their mid 20s to late 30s that want to travel with likeminded people that are a little over the standard cheaper backpacking trips, and appreciate a little less party and a little more comfort. The Maldives - Wow!! I always thought this was a honeymoon place but it is so much more. Whale Shark, Manta, Turtles, Pilot Whales, plus shipwrecks, intro scuba dive, bonfire dinners and some cocktails at an all inclusive resort to top it off!! The itinerary is FANTASTIC and the guides were epic, always taking photos and videos for all of the group and sharing them with us for free! If you’re a solo traveller looking to connection with genuine people, don’t hesitate - Just book!!

We had it all the kindest, most thoughtful tour manger Lucas, ever, Jacob camera man personal photographer and videographer and Ioana who proudly showed us her amazing country and heritage. This trip had it all, local food, beautiful streets and scenery. It’s amazing how much you get to see that you wouldn’t on an ordinary package trip. Not to mention seeing Draculas castle, Pele castle which is so pretty. Staying two nights in a vinyard, outside a pretty town Sighisora. Bear watching the only place you can watch bears in natural in habitat playing doing all fun bear tricks with out being held and trained in captivity. Such an experience. Gyspy village experience with dancing and shots. Saw so many regions and different styles. Indy Escapes is an amazing company. Lucas looks after you so you don’t need to think about anything but turning up on time. Safety is everything to Lucas. Every adventure you become part of a family. It’s never goodbye it’s how soon can we meet again with Lucas and his teams in different locations. If you want to see Romania this trip has it all and the best people you good ever hope to meet. I don’t think I could do another trip with out Lucas as the experience and passion that Lucas puts in to ever trip every day is unique and so rare from any one person. Book up soon

I joined the Sri Lanka trip where we went on safari, did surf lessons, cooking classes which were incredible, but my highlight was the train from Kandy to Ella!! From there I joined the connecting trip to the Maldives where we swam with whale shark, manta, and even dolphins, explored a shipwreck and drank a couple of cocktails at a resort! The effort that Lucas and the team puts in to ensure everyone has the most amazing time is admirable. It’s a trip I will never forget and safe to say, this will not be my only trip with Indy Escapes. I could not recommend them enough.

You will really get the feeling of island life. We were fortunate enough to see a local football match and feel the atmosphere with locals and local village life. This was an amazing trip where I met amazing people who struggle to travel affordably as friends never have time or other commitments. Lucas was an amazing guide with such a big heart, patience, attention to detail and commitment to make sure everyone is included and feels good about them selves. As one of the oldest in the group I did not feel out of place. Regardless of your age you will feel at ease. The trip is amazing value for money. Lucas goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is included moment is captured for you so you don’t have to worry about not being in any photos. His knowledge is amazing and he has worked so hard with hotels and other companies to make unique experience like private dinners on the beach. Nothing is too much. His choice in hotels is perfect. They are all excellent quality and so clean and friendly. Take as many outfits as you like. Lucas makes sure that your bags are transported at all times so you don’t need to worry about lifting and moving them. Really enjoyed seeing all the sea life turtles, dolphins,leopard sharks, nurse sharks. Fish. Also did my first scuba dive thanks to patience of Lucas. The resort day is amazing. Seeing different islands and being away from large amounts of tourists is great. Don’t hold back from going it’s worth the money. I’ll never get the chance normally to do it. You get the feel of island life. Do as much or as little as you like when your with Indy escapes So pleased I booked this trip and look forward to my next trip with Lucas and Indy Escapes. Thanks for an amazing week Lucas and all the other crew members that took us by speedboat and snorkelling in so many places. Lucas has worked so hard to get the best crews to ensure everything is perfect for you. Kate

The itinerary is so amazing for only 8 days and you cross off so many bucket list items! Lucas was the best tour guide and really went out of his way to get you Insta worthy CONTENT :) For all ocean lovers, booking this trip is a no brainer. From scuba diving to snorkeling and swimming with sharks, this group trip hits all the best activities to do in the Maldives. Everything is planned out for you each day, and all you really have to worry about is what bikini you want to wear. I will definitely be looking at Indy Escapes for future trips.

One of the highlights for me was the amazing group of travellers we met. Everyone was so friendly, and it felt like we were all instantly connected. Sharing these incredible experiences with others made the trip even more special, from laughing over meals to cheering each other on during adventures—it felt like we’d formed a little family by the end. The wildlife encounters were absolutely breathtaking. Swimming alongside a majestic whale shark and gliding through the water with graceful manta rays were moments I’ll never forget. Lucas and the local guides made sure we felt safe and comfortable while teaching us about these incredible creatures and their habitats. It was magical to be so close to nature and share those surreal moments with my boyfriend and our new friends. The blend of adventure, cultural experiences, and time to connect with other like-minded travellers was perfect. Indy Escapes nailed every detail, creating memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a trip that’s equal parts thrilling, inspiring, and heartwarming, this is it!

He was absolutely incredible and made me feel so Comfortable and safe as a solo female traveller. It was so lovely also being apart of a small company tour that is so unique and well thought out, rather than a large company with many guides. He ordered the trip in a way that could include extreme bucket list moments (such as feeding giraffes, patting elephants and watching cheetahs attack in the Masai Mara) and also relaxing times by the pool with friends while still experiencing true Kenyan culture. We got to visit a school, a special school, a slum and also be apart of several meaningful projects which felt very special too. We had such a brilliant group of 20 likeminded people, had lovely accommodations and ate such delicious and traditional food. I couldn’t recommend this trip, Lucas and Indy Escapes enough for a bucket list safari adventure! Uganda- I was recently one of Indy Escapes Uganda and Rwanda gorilla trekking tours and let me tell you, it was nothing short of mind blowing. If gorilla trekking is on your bucket list, you must join this trip! Firstly, our guide Lucas (also the creator, manager and CEO of the small travel company) was incredible and made me feel so so safe as a female solo traveller in Africa! He was such a mature, organised and fun guide with so much knowledge on Rwanda and Uganda. The gorilla trekking day was so surreal and the other guides involved were also great. This trip has a little bit of everything and is not too rushed either. I really loved this trip and would do it again!

Indy escapes has created such a safe, inclusive space for travellers to get a well rounded trip with relaxation, amazing food, amazing excursions and a social like minded group of people. I did the Turkey Sail and it was the perfect mix of activity and also downtime to enjoy the beautiful coastline - a highlight for me, something not included was the captain of the boat taking us to feed and swim with turtles - one of many examples of the boat crew going the extra mile for our enjoyment and experience 10/10 would recommend and I will 100% be going on another Indy escape!

Lucas and his team consistently go above and beyond to create an experience that feels both personalized and welcoming. After an amazing Croatian island-hopping adventure last year, I just completed another unforgettable journey through the Turkish islands. Traveling solo can sometimes feel daunting, but Indy Escapes made it effortless. The group was a perfect mix of like-minded individuals, and by the end of the trip, we were already discussing our next adventure together. The sense of camaraderie was immediate, and I never once felt out of place or alone. One of the standout aspects of Indy Escapes is their attention to detail and care for each traveler. Even before the trip began, the team was in touch, making sure my plans were in place and that I felt comfortable. On the last day, they went above and beyond to ensure everyone had onward plans sorted out, offering recommendations and advice for those staying on in the area. Communication throughout the trip was flawless. We were kept informed about everything, from the day’s itinerary to any changes that enhanced our experience, like avoiding crowded sites or adjusting for the weather. These thoughtful details made the journey even more enjoyable. From booking to the final day, Indy Escapes made sure everything was seamless and stress-free. As a solo traveler, it’s a relief to know that I can trust them to deliver a fantastic experience every time. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with Indy Escapes.

However, my experience with Indy Escapes shattered any reservations that I had about solo travel and I have now travelled to Maldives, Croatia, Kenya and Uganda with Indy Escapes over the past 3 years. From the moment I contacted Indy Escapes to inquire about their services, I felt reassured and supported. Their team was not only professional but also genuinely interested in catering to my specific needs and concerns as a solo female traveler. Throughout the journey, safety, inclusivity and fun were their utmost priority. From carefully selected accommodations in secure locations to providing detailed itineraries with emergency contact information, Indy Escapes left no stone unturned in ensuring the well being of all guests. This attention to safety allowed me to fully immerse myself in the experience without worrying about my security. Indy Escapes curated unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences that allowed me to connect with the local culture and communities authentically. Whether it was exploring medieval cities in Croatia, spotting the big 5 in Kenya, swimming with whale sharks in the maldives or gorilla trekking in Uganda, each new adventure allowed me to tick things off my bucket list with incredible people from all over the world. The support and guidance provided by Indy Escapes' local guides were invaluable. Their deep knowledge of the destinations, coupled with their enthusiasm for sharing their culture, enriched my travel experience significantly. I felt welcomed and embraced everywhere I went, thanks to the genuine connections facilitated by the Indy Escapes team. Beyond the logistical aspects, what truly sets Indy Escapes apart is their commitment to fostering a sense of community among travelers. Despite being a solo traveler, I never felt alone. Whether it was sharing stories with fellow adventurers over a meal or participating in group activities, I forged meaningful connections that enhanced my journey and left me with memories to cherish. In conclusion, my experience with Indy Escapes as a solo female traveler exceeded all expectations. Their dedication to safety, personalised approach, and emphasis on authentic experiences made it a transformative journey. I returned home not only with unforgettable memories but also with a newfound sense of confidence to travel solo and can now even visit my new friends that are living all over the world. For any solo female traveller seeking adventure with peace of mind, I wholeheartedly recommend Indy Escapes.

Would I get to experience the real Kenya? What if I didn’t gel with the rest of the group? I had nothing to worry about. The trip was phenomenal, in fact it sits up there with the top trips I’ve ever been on. The tour leader, Lucas Chesterton, was fabulous. We had a truly immersive experience working with NGOs in Nairobi and before then heading to the Masai Mara on safari. The group was fun, the pace was right and I enjoyed Lucas’s guiding style so much that I then booked a second trip with him for 2024. I could not recommend Lucas and Indy Escapes any more highly.

Maldives isn't really an easy country to explore as a solo traveller or without spending thousands a day... This is absolutely the way to do it! Highlights: - Maldives is GORGEOUS. The water is even better than it looks on Instagram. (We had perfect weather!) - The itinerary is very well thought out and found it logical and a good mix. This is definitely a tour for water babies! - I did all the optional extras and all were worthwhile. -Hotels were comfortable, clean and basically on the beach - Group dynamics suited me perfectly - average age around 33. 75% female, 60% solos, 65% Australians (rest mainly UK/US), all well travelled and focused on adventure more than partying. -Price: I spent $2100 total in the week (tour, extras, food, all in) which is amazing for the Maldives. - Guide: Lucas is the guide and owner and you can feel the extra passion and care that goes into guiding for your own business. Some considerations: - Weather would have been a major factor. We were lucky to have only perfect days... If not a little hot!(Pack double the amount of sunscreen you think you need) - Maldives is a Muslim country - there is NO alcohol outside of resorts (which is not where we stay) I would absolutely recommend this Maldives tour - it was a perfect week in paradise and everything I hoped for and more. I would absolutely do another tour with Indy Escapes in the future- it's the perfect group travel solution for solo travellers in their 30s.

I was really scared of open water and I’d booked this trip to try and conquer my fear. He was excellent. He was patient and encouraging and help me conquer my fear. Not only was I happy to jump in the water by the end of the trip but he had me swimming with sharks, mantas, whale sharks and even diving with turtles! I can think him enough. I don’t think I would have had the confidence to do any of that with anyone else! The trip itself was also fantastic. I got to see a side of the Maldives I didn’t know about. We stayed in local islands, hang out with locals, tried delicious food, and stayed in lovely accommodation. I would thoroughly recommend Indy Escapes for anyone wanting to explore the Maldives!

He keeps the excitement high for the entire duration of the trip and ensures everyone in the group is happy, comfortable and of course doing amazing things they wouldn’t otherwise be doing. The Maldives certainly is an incredible place, but this tour expanded it to a once in a lifetime opportunity I’ll remember forever.

All the extra trips, night out and adventures were optional although everyone wanted to do everything because they were having a great time together. The food was amazing considering the small kitchen. The bar prices are reasonable and the bartender is generous! The boat is fantastic - spacious rooms and dining area as well as a shaded rooftop for chilling out. Thanks everyone at Koda sail for their hard work to make it a week to remember. Would definitely go with Koda next time I travel and would highly recommend !!

It was the perfect mix of relaxation and on the go activities. To be honest, with the cost of the trip I was thinking we would be in not so great accommodations and I was pleasantly surprised at how large our room/bathroom was. Lucas was a great guide, always making sure everyone was OK and happy. He even went out and bought us avocados so we could make avocado toast at breakfast which I thought was extremely kind of him. I would recommend this trip to any of my friends and hope to sail with them again in the near future!

My only negative? That it had to end. Travelling around Croatia with Koda Sail was incredible - great boat, great food, and the greatest fellow travellers!

We had an amazing week!! Lucas was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and helpful. My only suggestion would be better/more filling vegetation/vegan options.

It is obvious he loves what he does and it can be seen through the way he talks about the places we visit, and how he is always up for an adventure. Lucas often went above and beyond, organizing dinners so we wouldn’t have to wander aimlessly in town, or buying avocados to make sure our vegans had something more to eat during meals. Lucas and the Casanova crew made accommodations based on the weather and whatever was safest for us travelers. The Casanova was a great accommodation. It was nice to have a clean place to stay with AC. The Casanova crew was very hardworking and made sure we were always well taken care of, regardless of what we needed.

I had heard great things but it was so much better than I could have ever imagined. It was the perfect way to see Croatia’s beautiful coastline with the perfect mix of activities and relaxing. Lucas and Chris clearly love what they do which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The best part of the trip was definitely the friendships that I formed with the rest of the group. Koda have created the perfect tour for young professionals who still like to have a great time. I can’t wait to explore Turkey with them next year!

Acti…I had an amazing time in Maldives! 🇲🇻 It was a good combination of adventure and chill days and evenings, with 2 days free to plan it on our own, and the rest was booked with wildlife adventures. Activities included swimming with sharks, turtles, stingrays, manta rays etc. and as much as some of it might sound a bit scary, it was one of the best experiences and the most peaceful I ever had. Lucas took a good care of everything and made sure everyone is feeling comfortable. I especially appreciated that no one felt pressured to do any of the activities, instead we were encouraged and not pushed. I personally panic sometimes in a deep and unknown water, but I felt so comfortable and safe. The people in the group were also very kind and helpful, and at the same time fun and interesting people to be around. I especially liked that Lucas made sure wildlife is treated with respect, and we do not do any harm to any of the sea creatures. Indy Escapes is definitely not just one more travel agency that will take you to sightseeing sport for a quick picture and to make as much money as possible, it is for sharing experiences, creating meaningful connections, and discovering beautiful world while caring for each other and for the nature around. Highly recommended!
