Who this service is for
- Parties of one to three who want to reach Koh Larn without paying for a full charter
- Anyone who wants to know the price of water sports in advance rather than bargain with beach touts
- Travellers who would rather not research the pier and ferry times themselves
- First-time visitors who want advice in Japanese on how to spend the day on the island
For groups of four to six or more, or if you want to set your own departure time and destinations, the private charter on our speedboat charter page is a better fit. Tell us your group and plans and we will suggest which suits you.

Why prices vary
- Whether it is a single ride or a package that includes the boat, hotel transport or other activities
- Location. Koh Larn operators have island running costs, so prices are often set higher than on Pattaya Beach or Jomtien
- Flight length or number of rides, and solo or tandem
- Bargaining. Booking directly on the beach can bring the quoted price down, and early-morning slots are reported to be cheaper
These differences are why you can find both 800 THB and 2,500 THB quoted for parasailing. Our quotes state clearly what is included, and you spend less time waiting and bargaining than when booking on the beach.
How the day works
- We confirm the meeting point and time when your booking is finalised. Transport from your hotel to the pier can also be arranged
- Cross from Bali Hai Pier to Koh Larn on the shared boat. Life jackets are worn on board
- At the beach, enjoy the water sports we have arranged, one after another. Chairs and umbrellas can be rented on the beach
- Free time. Lunch is available at beachside restaurants
- Return to Pattaya on the agreed boat. There are several departure points on the island, including Na Ban Pier and Tawaen Beach
Shared boats have a fixed return time and departure point. Double-check both when you arrive on the island.
What we do and what you need to do
What we do
- Hear your group size and wishes, then suggest a shared boat or a private charter
- Book seats on the shared boat and the water sports you want
- Quote with what is and is not included shown separately
- Confirm the meeting point, time and return boat. Questions on the day can be sent on LINE
What you need to do
- Tell us how many are joining and the ages of any children
- Be ready in time for the meeting point and check the return boat time
- Pay for anything not in the quote, such as beach food, drinks and chairs
- If you feel unwell or the sea is rough, talk to us about cancelling rather than pushing on
Safety and common problems
- Life jackets are required for motorised water sports. Check the fit before you set off
- Jet ski renters have long reported being told on return that they caused damage and must pay large repair bills. Photographing the machine from every angle before you ride gives you evidence. If there is a dispute, you can contact the Tourist Police on 1155
- Avoid jet skiing or parasailing after drinking alcohol
- Activities may be cancelled or rescheduled for safety on days with high waves or thunderstorms
- Check before you travel that your travel insurance covers injuries during water sports
- Conditions for children (age, height, weight and so on) differ by activity and operator. Please tell us your children's ages when you book
What to bring
- Swimsuit (wearing it under your clothes saves changing)
- Towel and a change of clothes
- Sunscreen, hat and sunglasses
- Cash (beach food, chairs, toilets and showers are mostly paid in cash)
- A waterproof phone pouch
- Beach sandals
- Seasickness tablets if you are prone to it
Bring as few valuables as possible, and do not leave them on the beach while you swim. You may prefer to keep your passport in the hotel safe and carry a copy.

FAQ
Questions about this service
Q01Can I join on my own?
Yes, the plan is available from one person. It is designed for travellers who want island time without the cost of a full charter.
Q02Can marine sports be booked together?
Yes. Banana boats, parasailing and other activities can be arranged together with the crossing to Koh Larn. Let us know your preferences when you apply.
Q03What are the departure time and meeting point?
The meeting point and time are confirmed when your booking is finalised. Please enquire about operating conditions.
Q04Why do parasailing prices vary so much between websites?
It depends mainly on whether the price is for a single flight or a package including the boat, transport or other activities. Location (Koh Larn or Pattaya Beach) and solo or tandem flights also matter. Our quotes state what is included.
Q05Can I do water sports if I cannot swim?
Life jackets are worn, so many non-swimmers take part in banana boat rides and parasailing. If you are nervous, let us know when you book and we will suggest activities you will be comfortable with.
Q06What happens on rainy or rough days?
Safety comes first, so boats and water sports may be cancelled or rescheduled. How date changes and refunds are handled is explained when you book.
Q07Can we join with small children?
Children's life jackets are available and many families join. Water sports have age and height rules that differ by operator, so tell us your children's ages and we will check. If you have small children and want to set your own schedule, consider a private charter.
