Coral Island & Sak Island Adventure Trip

With crystal clear water, plentiful coral reefs, and beautiful stretches of fine white sand, Thailand’s Coral Island (Koh Larn) is a veritable paradise. Take a day trip to this popular spot—about 4.5 miles (7 km) off the coast of Pattaya—to enjoy beaches and a variety of water sports, including scuba diving and snorkeling.

Coral Island, known locally as Koh Hae or Ko He, is a beautiful getaway destination around 3 km southeast of Phuket. The island has 2 main beaches: Long Beach and Banana Beach. Snorkelling off Banana Beach is a thrilling experience. If you go out far enough from Long Beach, you’ll also have a lot to discover at its impressive coral reef.

The island is beautifully calm at night but can get quite busy during the day. Peace and quiet can be found at the extremities of both beaches. You can rent deck chairs and sun loungers, but these usually come free for those on day tours. Coral Island Resort usually includes lunch with their day tours, though those who come on their own can easily find a restaurant on the island.

Situated less than three kilometers off the southern coast of Phuket, Coral Island is popular among beach dwellers who are looking to get away from the crowds on the beaches of the main island. Long Beach and Banana Beach are the highlights of Coral Island, and guests are invited to put on some face gear and go snorkeling in the coastal water where coral formations can be found in abundance. Coral Island, or Ko Hei (or Ko He) as locals call it, is home to Coral Island Resort, and while the island itself measures less than 5 kilometers from end to end, Coral Island offers everything guests need for an island holiday packed with the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure
