The Experience
You start with hotel pickup by air-conditioned minivan and head to the dock in Pattaya. Once aboard the spacious yacht, the day opens onto the Gulf of Thailand. The first stop is Koh Phai, where you can snorkel in shallow waters, try paddleboarding or kayaking, fish from the deck, or simply sit on the white sand and watch the water. The yacht carries all the snorkel equipment you need.
Next is Koh Rin, known for its vibrant coral reefs and sea turtles. The beach itself is protected by the Thai Royal Navy and closed to visitors, but the waters around it are open—this is where the best snorkeling happens. You'll have time in the water before the yacht moves on to Monkey Island, where playful macaques roam the pristine beach. This is the moment for photos and simply being there, watching the monkeys move through the palms and along the shore.
A premium Thai buffet lunch with fresh fruit and drinks is served on deck, timed between the islands. The guide speaks English, French, Russian or Ukrainian throughout the day. If you prefer a later start, the 3-Island Sunset Cruise departs at 11:15 AM and follows the same route, ending with a sunset at sea instead of an afternoon return. National Park fees are included in the price, so there are no surprises at the dock.

Top questions
What's the water like for snorkeling at Koh Rin?

What happens at Monkey Island?
Monkey Island is the final stop, where macaques live on the beach. You'll have time to relax, take photos and watch the monkeys in their natural habitat before heading back to Pattaya.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes—round-trip transfer by air-conditioned minivan from your Pattaya hotel to the dock is included in the price.
