Best time in the islands tour

All staff are so happy, helpful and great! Morning tea, lunch and afternoon fruit were yummy and just we all needed. Staff on the kayak were full of knowledge and experience. Our family had a great time and so glad we got the BB sea line crews for the day.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for sharing your family’s experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had the best time exploring James Bond Island with our team. Our crew members take immense pride in bringing high energy and happy vibes to the water every single day. Hearing that you found our staff so helpful and that the team on the kayaks shared their excellent local knowledge and experience is the ultimate compliment for us. We believe that great food is just as important as great scenery, so it is fantastic to know that the morning tea, full lunch buffet, and fresh afternoon fruits kept everyone perfectly fueled and happy. Thank you so much for choosing to spend your day with the BB Sea Lion crew. We would love nothing more than to welcome your family back on board for another memorable island-hopping adventure in Phuket!

Washroom condition is very bad. Go to washroom in your hotel. Here its horrible

Washroom cleaning is not professional. No proper washbasin. Even tissue rolls were limited. Bathroom floor was wet all the time. Vegetarian food had very limited options . This food can’t be labelled as lunch. At the most you may call it snacks

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent tour. We take all guest comments very seriously, especially when they concern the comfort, cleanliness, and overall quality of our experiences. Maintaining a clean and comfortable environment on a big boat is a top priority, and we are truly sorry that the restroom conditions fell short of your expectations. Due to the nature of a boat tour where guests are constantly coming in and out from swimming and canoeing, the bathroom floors do tend to get wet frequently. However, our crew is supposed to monitor and clean these areas professionally throughout the day, and we apologize that the maintenance and supply of essentials like tissues were not up to standard. We have already addressed this directly with our boat crew to ensure more frequent checks and better upkeep moving forward. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the vegetarian lunch options. We strive to provide a satisfying buffet meal for all dietary preferences, and we are sorry to hear that you found the selection limited and insufficient. Your comments are incredibly valuable, and we will work closely with our catering team to improve the variety and substance of our vegetarian dishes so that every guest enjoys a fulfilling meal. Thank you again for your insights. We use feedback like yours to fine-tune our services and ensure a better experience for everyone on board.

It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the well-planned stops and that our lunch service hit the mark for you. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Net and his team.

Great Tour, But Completely Ruined by the Van Driver’s Rude Attitude

I joined this tour to James Bond Island today 27th Nov 2025 and while the boat trip itself was fantastic, my experience with the hotel pickup driver completely spoiled the day. The crew onboard the boat were excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional. They made the tour enjoyable and the scenery was incredible. However, the behavior of the van driver who picked us up overshadowed all the good parts. He wasted time during pickup waiting for other passengers, which I didn’t complain about. Later, he stopped at a service station for his own toilet break. I asked politely if I could buy a cup of coffee while he used the restroom, and he agreed. When my coffee took slightly longer and he had to wait about five minutes, he started yelling and swearing at me from outside the coffee shop, in front of the other passengers. His rude, aggressive attitude was embarrassing, unnecessary, and completely disrespectful especially given that I had been patient earlier when he was the one causing delays. It absolutely ruined the overall experience for me. The tour itself deserves credit, but the company seriously needs to address the unacceptable behavior of this driver. No guest should ever be treated this way.

Response from the operator: Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. We appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed feedback regarding your James Bond Island tour on November 27, 2025. We are truly delighted to hear that you found the actual boat trip fantastic and that our crew onboard were excellent, friendly, helpful, and professional. Their dedication, along with the incredible scenery, is what we strive to offer every guest. However, we are profoundly disappointed and sincerely apologize that your day was completely spoiled by the unacceptable and highly unprofessional conduct of the hotel pickup driver. There is absolutely no excuse for the rude, aggressive, and embarrassing behavior you described, especially since you had been patient with his prior delays. Please be assured that we take your complaint about the driver's conduct—including his yelling and swearing—extremely seriously. This behavior is in direct violation of our customer service standards, and we will be immediately investigating this incident with our transportation partner and the driver involved. We will take swift and necessary disciplinary action to ensure that no guest is ever treated this way again. We value your patronage and are very sorry that a service aspect outside of the main tour overshadowed what should have been a flawless and enjoyable experience. We sincerely hope that, despite this isolated incident, you will consider giving BB Sealion another opportunity in the future. Sincerely, The BB Sealion Team
