Hotel pickup across Pattaya (9:20 – 10:00 AM)
Your air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Pattaya — from central Pattaya, Jomtien, North Pattaya, or Naklua. Exact pickup time depends on your hotel location. You'll be transferred to Bali Hai Pier, Pattaya's main departure point for island trips.
Speedboat to the water sports station (10:30 AM)
Board your speedboat at Bali Hai Pier and head out toward Koh Larn. On the way, the boat stops at a dedicated water sports platform where you can try parasailing, jet skiing, banana boat rides, undersea walking, or snorkeling — all at your own expense. These activities are completely optional but highly popular. First-timers and experienced thrill-seekers alike enjoy the parasailing — you'll soar above the open sea with panoramic views of Pattaya's coastline and the island ahead.
Arrive at Coral Island — Tawaen Beach (11:30 AM)
The speedboat docks at Tawaen Beach, the largest and most popular beach on Koh Larn. A sunbed is waiting for you. The water here is calm, clear, and ideal for swimming — a completely different experience from Pattaya's main beach. You'll have approximately 3 hours of free time to swim, explore, grab fresh coconut water from beach vendors, or rent a motorbike or songthaew to see other beaches on the island such as Samae Beach and Nual Beach.
Return speedboat to Pattaya (2:45 PM)
At 2:45 PM, the speedboat returns to Bali Hai Pier. The crossing back takes approximately 30 minutes. Your air-conditioned vehicle will be waiting to transfer you to the restaurant.
Lunch at the restaurant (3:30 PM)
Enjoy a sit-down lunch at a restaurant in Pattaya — included in your tour price. The meal is a satisfying way to refuel after a day in the sun. Vegetarian options are available — please inform us at the time of booking.
Drop-off at your hotel (4:30 – 5:00 PM)
After lunch, your vehicle will drop you back at your hotel. Total tour time from pickup to drop-off is approximately 6–7 hours depending on your hotel location.
Is This Right for You?
✦ Families with children
Yes — this is one of the most family-friendly day trips from Pattaya. Children aged 7 and above are welcome. Tawaen Beach has calm, shallow water near the shore that is safe for young swimmers. Water sports have age and weight restrictions — check with the on-site operator. The beach chairs, fresh coconuts, and relaxed pace make this a comfortable day out for parents and grandparents as well.
✦ Couples and honeymooners
Yes — the combination of a speedboat ride, a tropical island, and an unhurried afternoon makes this a naturally romantic day trip. Koh Larn is significantly quieter and more beautiful than Pattaya's main beach. For couples who want more privacy, the smaller beaches on the island like Samae Beach or Nual Beach are a short tuk-tuk ride away from the main pier.
✦ Groups of friends
Yes — this tour works especially well for groups. Water sports are more fun with company, and the island has beach bars, food stalls, and plenty of space to spread out. We also offer private group rates — contact us via WhatsApp if you're travelling with 8 or more people.
✦ Solo travellers
Yes — the group format means you'll meet other travellers on the speedboat and at the beach. Our guides are friendly and happy to recommend what to do on the island. Solo travellers consistently find this a sociable and easy day trip.
✦ Elderly guests
Generally yes, with a few things to consider. The speedboat crossing can be bumpy in rough sea conditions — if you have a serious back condition, this tour is not recommended. Tawaen Beach itself is easy to access and the facilities are good. If you're unsure, contact us via WhatsApp before booking and we can advise based on your specific situation.
✦ What is the sea like on the speedboat?
The crossing is 30 minutes each way and is generally smooth. During the dry season (November to April) conditions are typically excellent. During the wet season (May to October) there can occasionally be choppier conditions. We monitor the weather daily and will notify you in advance if conditions require any change to the schedule.
✦ Is this worth it compared to taking the public ferry?
The public ferry from Bali Hai Pier to Koh Larn takes 45 minutes each way and runs on a fixed schedule. Our speedboat takes 30 minutes and you travel with a small group. More importantly, our tour includes hotel pickup, the water sports stop, lunch, and drop-off — the ferry is just a boat ride. For a full, hassle-free day trip, the tour package offers significantly better value than organising everything independently.
What Our Guests Say
"A brilliant day out for the whole family. The kids were in the water within minutes of arriving. The speedboat was exciting and the whole trip was very well organised from pickup to drop-off."
"Koh Larn is absolutely gorgeous — nothing like the Pattaya beach. The water is crystal clear and the island feels peaceful. We did the parasailing on the way and it was unforgettable."
"Solo traveller here — I was a bit nervous booking a group tour alone but everyone was friendly and the guide was excellent. Great value for the price and the lunch after was a nice touch."
