About this tour

Coral Island (Koh Larn) is the closest island to Pattaya, lying roughly 7 km off the Pattaya coast, out in the open sea. This is a full-day trip from Trip Dust: you board a speedboat at Bali Hai Pier, pause mid-sea for optional water sports, and land on the island's white-sand beaches, where the water is noticeably clearer than the Pattaya seafront.

The day is built around free time on the beach plus the activities you choose to add, from parasailing to a jet-ski run. Lunch is a full Indian buffet at the H2O Restaurant, with separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian counters, so you are not left looking for veg food on the island.

What a Koh Larn day covers:

  • The beaches — Tawaen is the main beach, with soft sand and busy water-sports operators; Tien, Samae and Nual are smaller and quieter if you would rather sit out the crowds.
  • The speedboat — about 15 to 20 minutes each way from Bali Hai Pier.
  • Water sports — parasailing over the bay, jet-skiing, the banana-boat ride, and sea-walking, where you walk along the seabed wearing a weighted helmet fed with air from the surface.
  • The buffet lunch — vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes at H2O Restaurant, with changing rooms set aside for guests on the tour.

The trip works for families, couples and groups alike. One caution: the speedboat moves fast and the ride gets bumpy in open water, so it is not advised for pregnant women, anyone over 60, or guests with heart or back conditions.

Please note: This Coral Island package is exclusively for Indian guests. Guests of other nationalities pay an additional ฿150 per person.

Quick tips for your trip

  • When to go: The tour runs all year, though the November–April dry season brings the calmest sea and clearest water. Weekdays see fewer crowds than weekends. Pickup is at 9:00 AM, which gets you onto the island before the midday rush.
  • What to bring: Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and sunglasses. Wear flip-flops rather than shoes, as your feet will get wet at the pier and on the beach.
  • Photography: The water reads brightest between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, when the sun is high. Bring a waterproof pouch or phone case if you plan to shoot during the water sports.
  • Safety note: The speedboat runs fast and the open-sea stretch is bumpy. This tour is not recommended for pregnant women, guests over 60, or anyone with heart or back problems.
  • How long it takes: Set aside the full day. Pickup is around 9:00 AM and drop-off by 4:30 PM, which covers the speedboat crossing, beach time, water sports and the buffet lunch.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is pure vegetarian food available at lunch?

    Yes. Lunch is an Indian buffet at the H2O Restaurant, with vegetarian dishes laid out at their own counter, kept separate from the non-vegetarian options.

  • How far is the island, and how do we reach it?

    Koh Larn lies about 7 km off the Pattaya coast. Pickup is from your hotel, free for stays within 3 km of Walking Street or Bali Hai, and the speedboat then leaves from Bali Hai Pier, crossing in 15 to 20 minutes. If your hotel falls outside the free zone, you can make your own way to Bali Hai Pier or arrange paid pickup over WhatsApp.

  • Do we head straight to the beach once the boat leaves?

    Not quite. The boat first pulls up at a mid-sea platform, where you can take the optional water activities such as parasailing and the undersea walk. The beach drop comes after that, leaving you free time on the sand for the rest of the visit.

  • Can I do the water sports if I cannot swim?

    Yes. Swimming is not required for parasailing, the banana boat or the undersea walk. You wear a life jacket throughout, and an instructor stays with you for each activity.

  • Is the trip alright for children and older relatives?

    Children and most adults manage the speedboat without trouble. The ride is fast and the waves make it bumpy, though, so we advise against it for pregnant women, guests past 60, and anyone with a heart or back condition.

  • Is there somewhere to change after the water activities?

    Yes, and at no extra cost. The H2O Restaurant has bathrooms and changing rooms reserved for guests on the tour, so you can dry off and change there rather than paying for the rentals on the beach. Pack a towel and a dry set of clothes.
