The Experience

Hotel pickup happens between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM from selected Pattaya areas, and you choose the time at checkout. An earlier pickup gives you more beach time at Tawaen; a later one shortens it. The shared van collects guests from multiple hotels, so timing depends on traffic and hotel location. You'll arrive at Bali Hai Pier, the main speedboat terminal, where staff coordinate boarding and brief you on the day's sequence.

Before the boat reaches Coral Island, it stops at a sea activity platform. If you booked water activities — parasailing, undersea walk, or similar — you do them here; if not, you wait on the platform while others finish, usually 30 to 60 minutes depending on crowd and conditions. The speedboat then continues to Tawaen Beach on Koh Larn, where you have free time to swim, relax, take photos, or browse local shops. Beach chairs, lockers, towels and showers are available on-site, though some may carry a small charge. Jet ski, banana boat and other water sports can be arranged directly at the beach but aren't included in the tour price.

Lunch timing and location depend on which package you selected. If you chose the Thai set lunch, you eat at an island-side restaurant during your beach time. If you picked the Indian buffet option, you return by speedboat to Bali Hai Pier, then transfer by van to a Pattaya restaurant for lunch before the final hotel drop-off. Return to your hotel is usually around 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM, though boat schedules, traffic and lunch arrangements can shift this window. A live guide in English, Hindi or Thai travels with the group throughout.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want the island, the water and a meal arranged in one outing without renting a car or negotiating transport — the speedboat timing and lunch location depend on which package you pick at checkout, so choose based on whether you prefer more beach time (earlier pickup) or a specific lunch style (Thai on-island or Indian back in Pattaya).

Top questions

What water activities can I do on this Coral Island tour?

Water activities like parasailing and undersea walks are optional and available at the sea platform before reaching Tawaen Beach, but only if you selected them in your package at checkout. Children under six are not permitted for any water activity. Activities booked directly at the beach — jet ski, banana boat — are separate from the tour price.

Do I have to eat at the restaurant on the island, or can I bring my own food?

Lunch is included only if you selected it in your package. If you chose the Indian buffet option, you eat at a Pattaya restaurant after returning by boat. If you chose the Thai set lunch, you eat at an island-side venue during beach time. Personal food and drinks are your own expense.

What time does the speedboat leave Pattaya, and when do I get back to my hotel?

Hotel pickup runs between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM depending on the time you choose at checkout. Return to your hotel is usually around 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM, though exact timing depends on pickup time, boat schedule, traffic and lunch arrangements, so it cannot be guaranteed.

Is the guide included, and what languages do they speak?

A live guide is included and speaks English, Hindi or Thai throughout the tour, helping coordinate activities and answer questions about the island and water activities.

What's included in the hotel transfer, and does it pick up from any Pattaya hotel?

Shared van pickup and return transfers from selected Pattaya hotel areas are included. The van collects multiple guests, so pickup timing varies by hotel location and traffic. Confirm your hotel is on the pickup list when you book.

Can I do water activities if I'm traveling with young children?

Children under six years old are not permitted to participate in any water activities on this tour. They can join the beach time and lunch, but optional activities at the sea platform are off-limits for that age group.
