Upon arrival at the pier, you will meet your friendly, accredited tour guide, who speaks English, Thai, and Hindi, ensuring you feel welcome and informed throughout the experience. At the pier, your guide will provide an overview of the exciting day ahead, offering insights into the island's beauty, what activities you can enjoy, and answering any questions you might have. The trip will then continue with a scenic boat ride to Coral Island, setting the stage for an unforgettable tropical experience.

Start your exciting day with a speedboat ride from Bali Hai Pier to Coral Island (Koh Larn), a tropical paradise just off the coast of Pattaya. Upon arrival, dive into a variety of thrilling water activities—snorkeling, parasailing, or riding a jet ski (optional, at additional cost). Enjoy the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life as you unwind in this serene setting. After your water adventures, relax on the beach with your complimentary beach chair, soaking in the sun and beautiful surroundings. Take some time to explore the island at your own pace—wander along the sandy shores, visit local shops, or simply relax by the sea. Wrap up your day with a delightful Thai buffet lunch at a beachfront restaurant on Koh Larn, savoring delicious local dishes while enjoying stunning views of the ocean. After lunch, you’ll return to Bali Hai Pier by speedboat, bringing home memories of a perfect day on Coral Island.
After a wonderful day spent on Koh Larn, you will board a speedboat for a fast and exhilarating ride back to Bali Hai Pier. Enjoy the final moments of your journey as you glide across the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. As the speedboat cruises along, take in the panoramic views of the surrounding islands and the coastline, reflecting on the day’s adventures. This scenic ride back offers the perfect chance to soak up the last of the sea breeze and stunning landscapes before reaching Bali Hai Pier.
After returning to Bali Hai Pier, you’ll board a comfortable shared van for a smooth and convenient transfer back to your hotel. The shared van service ensures your day concludes with ease, offering a relaxing ride through Pattaya as you reflect on your Coral Island adventure. Sit back and unwind as the van takes you safely to your accommodation.

tour was amazing Tried Thai food for the first time and honestly loved it. The team guided us really well and the whole experience was awesome.
Dear Guest, thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the Pattaya Koh Larn Speedboat Tour, Thai lunch, transfers, and the guidance from our team. It’s great to hear that trying Thai food for the first time made the experience even more special. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon.
An active and enjoyable day. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had an active and enjoyable day exploring Koh Larn. Our team works hard to ensure a smooth and memorable experience, and your appreciation means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you again for another fantastic adventure in Thailand!
Bad info on the website here. The organizer just wants to make money selling some activities. Beach chair is a joke. You sit on a plastic chair and wait for everyone to gather. Simple lunch on the island (okay), then they wanted to return at 2 pm. We didn't go back, stayed on the island all day. This is not something we can recommend, rather take a boat from Pattaya themselves, and enjoy the luxury beach all day.
Tack för din feedback, och vi beklagar verkligen att upplevelsen inte levde upp till förväntningarna. Vi tar till oss att informationen varit otydlig och att det kändes som fokus låg på att sälja tilläggsaktiviteter. Vi kommer att se över beskrivningen och upplägget så att tider (inkl. gemensam retur runt 14:00) och vad som är valfritt blir helt tydligt i förväg. Vi uppskattar också din kommentar om strandstolarna och väntetiden—detta tar vi vidare för förbättring. Tack igen för att du hjälpte oss bli bättre.
This so-called tour was the worst day trip I’ve ever experienced—and also the shortest amount of time I’ve ever spent on a tour before wanting it to end. Everything was so cramped and rushed that it became completely ridiculous. We were first ushered onto a speedboat where all we could do was stare at the people sitting across from us. There was nothing to see and no space to move—we were boxed in by the walls of the boat. We were taken to a nearby platform and herded off to wait for those who wanted to parasail. Once that was done, we were herded straight back onto the speedboat and taken to a second platform for those wanting to do the underwater walk. The rest of us just waited again. When it was finally our turn for the underwater walk, we were lined up like sheep, made to climb down the back of a floating pontoon, have a helmet dropped onto us, and then rushed along the underwater path. The scuba staff kept pushing us tightly together, even though there was plenty of space and no one else around. The whole thing was rushed, uncomfortable, and over far too quickly. After that, we were herded back onto the boat yet again and taken to the island. The beach was absolutely covered in tightly packed umbrellas—there was nothing “tropical” or relaxing about it. With so many people from multiple tours crowding the same small area, there was barely any room to enjoy the beach at all. We did go snorkelling and were given enough time in the water, but even then the journey there and back felt rushed. We didn’t bother trying to spend time on the beach because there simply wasn’t any space to enjoy. The meal provided was okay, and the tour guide coordinating our group did the best they could. But the entire experience was so rushed, overcrowded, and poorly organised that it felt nothing like the relaxing island adventure we were promised. I will never participate in a tour like this again, and the description of the tour was far from what we actually experienced.
Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback, and we’re truly sorry the experience felt rushed, overcrowded, and far from what was promised. That’s not the relaxing island day we want guests to have. We’re escalating your comments to the operator to review group sizes, waiting-time management at the platforms, and the pacing of the underwater walk so it feels safer and more comfortable. We’ll also recheck the listing to ensure expectations about the itinerary and crowd levels are clearly stated. We appreciate your note that the meal was okay and the coordinator tried their best, and we’re sorry your overall day was so disappointing.
Tour guides very nice. Didn't go to Koh Larn Got taken to Koh Sak. (Nothing there but a beach). Seemed to be geared towards Indian tourists
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for appreciating our tour guides. We’re very sorry that you felt disappointed about visiting Koh Sak instead of Koh Larn. In some cases, the boat may be redirected to Koh Sak due to sea conditions, crowding, or safety/operational reasons, but we understand this should be clearly communicated on the day so you don’t feel misled. Our tours are open to all nationalities, and while many of our guests are from India and we often serve Indian lunch, we always aim to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone. We’ll review your comments with the local team to improve route communication and expectations for future guests.
This was the worst ever! From not giving us transfers to arriving on our own and no one knowing anything about our paid reservation. We were told to look for one company then an hour later another company. And then we got a horrible attitude from I Love Coral Island. Beware :There will not take you to Coral Island until some passengers first do their water activities at a different place. This could take hours before your tour to Coral Island actually starts. There is NO communication of this until it's too late. Viator needs better communication with this supplier and Viator's clients.
Dear Guest, thank you for your feedback and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you faced. Your hotel was outside our shared transfer pickup area, which is why you were asked to come to the designated meeting point, but we understand this should have been communicated more clearly. Our team on-site and customer service also reported that there were communication challenges as staff felt they were being spoken to rudely, which made it harder for them to assist you properly. We have now updated the product information to clearly show pickup zones, meeting points, and the shared speedboat process (including stops for water activities) so future guests are fully informed. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will continue working to improve both service and communication.
If you want to be nickle and dimed and have no time on coral island with a unorginzied tour group then by all means choose this tour. We had a 10:00 am pickup scheduled, after six minutes and fifteen minutes the tour operator asked for my what's app number and local number and gave me the drivers phone number. No apologies were given and the tour driver showed up fifteen minutes late. We then arrived at the pier and had a number written on our hands and then told to follow someone to the pier. We then got to the pier hopped on a boat and went to a floating barge where we asked where we were from and then offered a variety of options to add on to our original tour. If we wanted to parasail, walk along the ocean (showed photoshopped sea creatures in those photos), jet skiing and banana boat would also be extra on the island. We finally got to the island at 11:30 and we're told we had an hour on coral island.. We then asked where the beach chairs were and we were shown a selection of white plastic chairs that were full of people and told that those were them. We saw some actual beach loungers and we're told that they were available to rent for a 100 baht each (which we decided on since again the free chairs were all occupied). Then we left coral island at 12:30 pm and went back to Pattaya for lunch. We arrived at Pattaya and went to the sun hotels basement which smelled of a plumbing issue and was showed to our Indian Buffett except we had ordered a Thai lunch. When the staff asked us why we were not eating we told them we ordered a Thai lunch and not the Indian Buffett. We were then brought up to the lobby and wanted 45 minutes for our lunch that they ordered from another restaurant which was nice of the staff but shouldn't have had to be done if they were organized. So in all we had one hour of beach time, a messed up lunch, and we were nickle and dimed. I would avoid at all costs and find another provider who can provide a relaxing beach day (if that is what you want as this wasn't it).
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback and I’m very sorry your day didn’t feel relaxing or well-organized. For timing: our itinerary does include an approximately 1-hour stop at the parasailing / watersports platform, which is mentioned in the tour description and does naturally reduce total time on Coral Island. That said, we clearly did not communicate this – or the expected beach time – well enough on the day, and we’ll improve how we set expectations before departure. The additional activities (parasailing, sea-walk, jet ski, banana boat, paid loungers) are optional extras, but I understand that the way they were offered felt like being “nickel and dimed”, which is not the experience we want to create. We will review our briefing so inclusions and extras are explained calmly and transparently. I also sincerely apologise for the lunch mix-up and the long wait for your Thai meal; this should have been correctly arranged in advance. Thank you again for your honest review – it’s very helpful for us to improve.
The tour does not match the description and I do not recommend it if you wish to visit KOH Larn. Know that you will not stay on the island 5 hours and 30 minutes (as described) but less than 3 hours! .The organization is absurd. Hundreds of people arrive at the port 3” and mark you by writing a number on your arm! We were also ready to pick up at the hotel on time and left more than half an hour late to wait for a group of people (they could accompany us and return). The fast boat does not arrive directly to the island but stops on a floating platform outside PATTAYA where they offer water sports and more ... those who simply want to go to the island must wait until we have all done not only the registration but also the experience! Basically we arrived at the island at 11.40 (waking up at 7.30) and at 2 we left. A vacation day ruined because of the false description of the trip. On a positive note the Thai lunch very good.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We will try our best in future to upgrade the tour quality.
The Pattaya Koh Larn speedboat tour with Thai lunch and transfers offers a thrilling experience with scenic boat rides, exciting water activities like parasailing and jet skiing, and a tasty local lunch. Many travelers appreciated the convenience of hotel transfers and the island's beauty. However, some reported aggressive upselling of activities and limited time actually spent on the island. Overall, it's a fun day trip ideal for adventure seekers, though better time management and less pushy sales would improve the experience.
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, Hope to see you again 😊
It was a good experience, great price, we had a great speedboat driver who looked after us all day, highly recommend!
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, Hope to see you again 😊
