About this experience

Not every island day needs to be a 12-hour mission. Coral Island sits just off Chalong and takes about 15 minutes by speedboat. The reef on the south side is shallow and full of fish, Banana Beach is soft white sand with loungers and a restaurant, and there are optional add-ons — parasailing, a "sea walker" helmet dive, banana boat — if you want them. A good choice for families with younger kids or for a relaxed first day.

Highlights

  • Only 15 minutes by boat — no dawn start
  • Shallow, fish-filled reef good for beginners
  • Loungers and restaurant on Banana Beach
  • Optional parasailing and sea-walking
  • Choose a morning or afternoon slot
