Visitor Reviews
Awesome quiet island with a mild music played sometimes. The beach is pristine. There's water activites around like paragliding, kayaking, and snorkeling(although Racha island snorkeling is better).
Got a longtail from opposite Poached Breakfast Cafe Rawai. There were around 6 different operators; walked along asking for 1,500 baht return for my wife and myself - they wouldn’t entertain it!! Managed 1,800 return from the lady near the middle of the pack - and tipped the captain 100 baht each way for the 30-min journey. Wonderful white sand on the island. 150 for plush sun lounger on the right hand beach. Waiter service for drinks. Amazing way to spend a day relaxing. Got busy around 2pm until 4pm with arrivals of Russian groups. Must-do trip. Perhaps split the journey cost with another couple?? On the return trip, as the tide was so low, the boat moored up around 100m from the shore and we had to get out and walk/wade through shallow water back - make sure you have suitable sandals / water shoes for this!!!
My visit to Coral Island in Pattaya was a memorable experience filled with natural beauty and fun activities. The island is known for its clear blue water, soft white sand, and peaceful atmosphere, which makes it a perfect escape from the busy city. The boat ride to the island was smooth and offered beautiful views of the ocean. As soon as we arrived, the environment felt refreshing and calm. There are many activities to enjoy, such as parasailing, banana boat rides, jet skiing, and snorkeling. Parasailing was especially exciting because of the stunning aerial view of the sea. The water was clean, and the beach was well-maintained. There are also several small restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood and drinks while relaxing under the shade. The staff and guides were friendly and helpful throughout the trip. They explained safety rules clearly and made the activities comfortable even for beginners. The only downside is that the island can get a bit crowded during peak hours, but the experience is still enjoyable. Overall, Coral Island is a great destination for anyone visiting Pattaya. Whether you want adventure or relaxation, the island offers a perfect mix of both. I would definitely recommend it.

Check Monsoon Seasons
The Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi) has rough seas from May to October. The Gulf coast (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan) is roughest from October to December. Plan your island-hopping around these windows.
Snorkel Gear Is Cheap to Buy
Rental gear is often scratched and ill-fitting. Buy a decent mask and snorkel at a Tesco Lotus or Big C for 300–500 THB — cheaper than two days of rentals and much more hygienic.
Book Ferries on 12Go.Asia
The 12Go platform lets you compare ferry operators, times, and prices between islands. Book a day or two ahead in high season. Avoid the cheapest operators if reviews mention safety concerns.
