Worst. Tour. Ever.
I was very disappointed with this tour. After shelling out over 3,00 baht the longest time we spent doing any activity was when we were left waiting around the yacht club for an hour and a half before leaving.
Brief instructions were given about what we were going to do, but majority of the time was spent pedalling items from the company’s store. We were then ushered outside and pretty much left to our own devices to figure out which boat and tour guide we were on.
We travelled to the first beach, Maya Bay - an hour boat journey - and only given 45 mins to relax and have a swim. Then we ‘visited’ Monkey Beach (AKA stayed stationary in the water beside it hoping a monkey would appear) and went to an area for snorkelling.
If anything, we were discouraged from doing this activity - we were told that if we can’t swim don’t do it because you might lose the gear and have to pay? If you die it’s fine though.
I attempted to snorkel, I’m an okay swimmer, but no instruction was given AT ALL about putting the mask on correctly and my mouth piece (which I foolishly bought new after fierce warnings of germs) wasn’t fixed properly. When I jumped in I immediately inhaled a lot of water and began to panic (the area of water is very deep) and had to get back on the boat. Only about four people out of twenty felt comfortable enough to try this activity.
It was nice to get around and see the islands, but I definitely would not recommend going with this tour company.
Also, the tour guide was annoying and rude AF and a tip box was forcefully handed around while we were still on the boat - but of course we didn’t tip.

See Sea Blue marine tour to PhiPhi Island. Never again
It was an ok tour. Not what I expected though, I thought we will be able to explore and swim but not really. Its our first time with my family to join a tour like that in Phuket, We decided that we will never do it again. I find it too crowded specially that Khai Island geee, people are everywhere so many tourist you can't even properly walk without bumping to one another.
We didn't enjoy much of our first ever tour to Phiphi Island as the journey on the boat was not really pleasant cos of the bumpy boat ride, few of the guests on the boat are vomiting so imagine that it makes me wanna puke too LOL! Anyway,we are happy with our tour guide Mr.Indy and so as the rest of his team. They are helpful and funny too. They are also happy to assist you whenever someone needed assistance.
What we didnt like is the lunch food that included to the tour, I'm sorry to say this but the food is ewww spaghetti that are so bland and other food that looks nothing like thai food. We just left and and eat somewhere else 😐.
Also I felt that I've been ripped off after paying 1,200 bhat to Mr.Indy for the video and photos that they took while the tour. Mr.Indy explained that they will edit the videos and photo's so we have souvenirs for our Phiphi Island trip so I gave my email address eventhough my husband was not happy about it 😉 but the next day to my surprised they emailed me the videos and photos of all the people on the boat. So I was like, what is this? I was so shocked so I emailed See Sea blue marine but hey no reply til this day its been 4days but no reply from them 😐. So be careful guys if you ever join the next tour just don't be a fool to pay 1200 bhat for a promised packaged of vids+pics unless you are willing to edit it yourself after they email it to you 😆.
So please See Sea Blue Marine have a good heart do not mislead your guests and please reply to my email and fulfill your promised that you will edit the videos of just our family on that tour last Monday July 16th. Since its been paid cash on the same day to Mr. Indy.

Only a few more hours and it'll all be over
That was my predominant thought throughout the day: "only a few more hours and it'll all be over"
I only wish it were possible to give negative scores.
Knowing what I know now about the tour I can genuinely say I wouldnt have gone on it had they paid me double what I paid them.
I won't labour the criticisms; others have gone into depth, but I will add that I've never before felt physical pain from being crushed next to other people. Apparently the guy next to me on the boat was also suffering because from time to time he had to put his right arm over my shoulder to get a little relief.
Confinement, constant 'fear driven' up-selling (everything except the air and the sunshine had a price tag), pathetic snorkeling, the wail of the tour guide from a muffled battery operated megaphone louder than 3 noisy outboards, small tray of wilted fruit as a snack, lunch in a restaurant run like a factory, beaches which looked like waste disposal facilities, no back of boat swim platform, boat exits which were up to waist deep (challenging if you're not fit and six feet tall), 1 toilet for 40 people... the list goes on and on...
Awful experience...
The business must survive through tour agent recommendation (via commission), different operating names and the naivety of tourists who believe good sense and fair play will prevail
Spacious Penthouse with Private Pool
I booked See Sea initially for one night. Then stayed four. It depends on your type of travelling. If you walk or arrange a scooter the location is amongst high quality restaurants and the gateway to Kamala and Surin Beaches. The Penthouse with Private Pool was very clean and spacious. A view of southern Patong, and the sunset make those Penthouses Rooms Incredible value.

Cheap hotel
Cheap and cheerful is all I can say. We came from 5 stars resorts, so seeing this hotel at first we were a bit shocked. In the end we made it work, and it wasn’t that bad. The staff might seem rude at first, but they’re no. Housekeeping does not know a word of English, so sometimes to get something is hard when the reception is not available. The room was spacious and clean-ish, could do with a little refurb. The internet was awful, both WiFi and 5G connectivity from mobile. Going out is a bit impossible unless you decide to walk next to speeding cars or get a taxi. All together tho, it is not the worst place in Phuket, so I recommend it for a low budget holiday!
