About Coral Island Snorkeling Tour

This is a budget join tour from Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya — a roughly 20-minute speedboat ride out to Koh Larn, the island better known to visitors as Coral Island. The day mixes snorkeling with a relaxed beach stop, a buffet lunch and optional water sports, all bundled into one easy package starting from ฿280 with a hotel transfer thrown in.

On the island you can snorkel, rent gear, try a banana-boat ride, jet ski, go parasailing, or book a sea walk (helmet diving). It's outstanding value for a half-day on the water, which is exactly why it stays popular with first-time visitors and families.

Be honest with yourself about expectations, though: reviews are mixed, and in peak season the main beaches on Koh Larn can get genuinely crowded. The snorkeling is fun rather than world-class, so go for the boat ride, the sunshine and the budget price — not for pristine, empty reef.

Frequently asked

The base price covers a round-trip hotel transfer, the round-trip speedboat to Koh Larn, a beach chair and a buffet lunch. Snorkel gear (~฿100–200) and water sports such as the sea walk (~฿800–1,500) are paid separately on the island.
The tour heads to Koh Larn — Coral Island — about a 20-minute speedboat ride from Bali Hai Pier. The snorkeling is casual and beginner-friendly rather than a remote reef trip.
Reviews are mixed, and in peak season the main beaches on Koh Larn can get genuinely crowded. Go for the value, the boat ride and the day out — and set expectations accordingly. Quieter beaches do exist on the island if you ask.
It's a join (shared) tour, which is why the price is so low — you share the speedboat with other guests on a fixed schedule, departing around 10:30 and returning around 14:45.
