The guides, the food and the activities all made it enjoyable, and I loved snorkeling around the first two islands before meeting the monkeys on the third.
ChristianJuly 2026, as a couple
A fantastic day: our guide was helpful and attentive, the activities were excellent and it was the best part of our trip.
JodieJune 2026, as a couple
Two reefs to snorkel, monkeys near enough to watch, a cheerful crew and a lunch that worked for vegetarians added up to a great day.
AnneMay 2026, as a couple
The catamaran was cleaner, roomier and more comfortable than I expected, the snorkeling spots were lovely and the staff kept the whole day relaxed.
TazApril 2026, as a couple
Everything was well planned, from pickup to lunch to the return, and it is rare to find a day out that the whole family can enjoy.

the day in brief
What a 3 islands day from Pattaya involves
The Pattaya 3 islands tour is a single long day on a catamaran, and the listing behind this site runs for 7 to 8 hours from the hotel pickup to the drop-off. The route takes in Koh Phai, Koh Rin and Monkey Island, with snorkeling gear handed out and a Thai buffet lunch served on the way. Searchers who type 3 islands tour Pattaya are looking for exactly this circuit.
The rhythm is easy to picture. A car ride of 60 minutes comes first, then a sail of 60 minutes, then 90 minutes of free time and swimming at Koh Phai and 40 minutes for lunch. The afternoon holds Koh Rin for 60 minutes and Monkey Island for 40, with sails of 50, 40 and 40 minutes between the stops and the marina.
Seats start from $83, nothing is charged when you reserve, and cancelling at least 24 hours ahead refunds the whole fare. The record leaves alcohol out of the package, which is the one detail to plan around if a drink with the view matters to you. That makes the price easy to compare with other boats, and the guides on this site do that comparison for you.

the sail
A 71 foot catamaran from Jomtien marina
Listed as a 71 foot catamaran with space for up to 60 passengers and crew, the boat is based at Ocean Marina, in the Jomtien district at the southern end of Pattaya. A twin-hull boat sits flatter on the water than a small speedboat, and the big deck gives families and groups room to spread out. That helps with seasickness for many people, and the shade of the upper deck is welcome at midday.
The sailing is part of the pleasure. Between stops you sit under the shade of the upper deck or stretch out in the sun at the front, with the Pattaya skyline falling behind and the green islands rising ahead. The legs are short enough that nobody gets restless: 60 minutes out, then 50, 40 and 40 minutes between the stops.
A car brings you from your hotel to the marina first, a ride of 60 minutes, so the day starts on the road rather than on the water. Wait in the lobby a little early with your phone switched on, since pickup is included from 2 pickup location options in Pattaya City and the operator confirms the details.

booking terms
Holding a seat, paying and cancelling
Pay later is available, so a seat can be held without any payment today. Seats start from $83, and cancelling up to 24 hours before the start refunds the fare in full. That is a generous window for a day that depends on the sea. Booking early in the cool months is a good habit, since the beaches and the boats are busiest then.
The record is silent on what happens if the operator itself cancels for weather, so ask when you book. Rival boat days in Pattaya state that sea and weather conditions can alter the trip, and in practice the same holds for ours. Watch the forecast in the last 2 days and message the operator if the wind looks strong.
A quick word on alcohol: the package leaves it out, while the second catamaran says drinks can be bought on board. If a cold drink with the sunset is part of your plan, compare the boats on the guides before choosing. A bottle of water, a hat and a little cash for a tip are the small extras to bring.

Your day out
Sail out, swim, snorkel and meet the monkeys.
Hotel pickup in Pattaya, a buffet lunch and a catamaran; cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.
koh phai
Koh Phai: swimming, snorkeling and lunch
Koh Phai comes first and holds you longest: 90 minutes of free time and swimming, then 40 minutes at the lunch buffet. The snorkeling equipment that comes with the day is meant for the shallows close to the beach, so bring a swimsuit and wear it under your clothes from the start. Leave anything fragile in the hotel safe.
Eat well but not heavily. The Thai buffet is part of the booking, with snacks and soft drinks through the day, and the afternoon holds two more stops that you will want to enjoy. A listing for a private speedboat to the same island says a THB 150 island fee a person is paid on arrival, so ask the operator whether anything is payable on our day.
Keep valuables on the boat, apply sunscreen before you leave and put on a rash guard if you burn easily. Swimmers get a reminder from the Tourism Authority of Thailand that jellyfish appear more in the monsoon months, and that lycra, rash guards or long sleeves cut the chance of a sting. Carry a bag that closes and can get wet, and keep the phone in a waterproof pouch.

what guests praise
What recent guests tell us
The listing shows 805 reviews averaging 4.8, which is a broad base for a single boat day. The newest comments we read repeat the same themes: guides who are helpful and attentive, a crew that makes sure everyone has a good time and activities that guests rate highly. It is also the most-reviewed way into the Pattaya islands that we found, which is why it carries the booking on this site.
Food comes up often too. Guests describe the buffet as tasty and say the lunch catered for vegetarians, while several mention how comfortable and clean the catamaran felt compared with what they expected. The snorkeling stops and the chance to see the monkeys up close are the other highlights that recent visitors single out.
Take that as a pattern, not a promise: it reflects the most recent comments, and ratings move over time. The cards further down the page quote six of them in our words, and the reviews section of the booking page lists many more, including the occasional gripe, so read a handful before you commit. If the comments disagree with what you expect, trust the details of the listing over any single opinion.

koh rin and monkey island
Koh Rin, then the macaques of Monkey Island
After 50 more minutes of sailing, the catamaran anchors at Koh Rin for 60 minutes of free time and swimming. It is the second chance to snorkel, and with lunch behind you it is a gentle stop that suits floating rather than hard swimming. Stay near the shore and in sight of the crew, and let the snorkel be unhurried, because the water is shallow and the fish come to you.
Monkey Island is next, 40 minutes further on, and the schedule gives you 40 minutes of wildlife viewing. The macaques are the day's main character, and they are used to visitors. Keep bags closed, hold on to hats and sunglasses and follow the crew's directions about food, since an excited monkey will take what it can reach.
The boat then needs 40 minutes to get back to the marina, and a car carries you to your drop-off in Pattaya City. The shape of the day is easy on everyone: a long swim, lunch, a shorter swim, the monkeys and home, with nothing that needs more fitness than swimming in a life jacket. It is a relaxed rhythm that fits a long day without feeling like a race, and it leaves time to take photographs.

seasons
Dry, cool months and the wet season
Weather data here is NOAA's record from Sattahip, a station 28.9 km away, taken across 1991 to 2020. A typical January day peaks at 32.6 °C with 22 mm of rain over the month, and February is driest at 11 mm. The wettest are September at 258 mm and October at 283 mm. Those two months are the heart of the rainy season, so they are the least reliable for sea days.
The provincial tourism office describes a cool season from November to February with clear skies and busy beaches, and a rainy season from August to October. For a boat day the cool months are the safest bet for calm seas, and book early for them, since the beaches and the boats are busier then. That is a calm, clear stretch for the water, and it is also when most visitors come.
In the wetter months a day can still run, but the operator decides on the morning, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand notes that jellyfish and other hazards are more common during the monsoon. A flexible plan, with a spare day and free cancellation 24 hours ahead, is the sensible way to handle the rainy season.

packing
What to wear, bring and leave behind
Wear a swimsuit under light clothes, with sandals that grip a wet deck, and pack a towel, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. Snorkeling equipment is lent to you, which means your own mask is optional. The national tourism authority adds a plea for reef-safe sunscreen and untouched coral. Pack light, and keep the bag closed.
A Thai buffet lunch, snacks and soft drinks are part of the day, so you need not carry food. Put your phone and cards in a small dry bag, and a rash guard or light long-sleeved top protects your shoulders on the deck as well as in the water. Dry clothes for the ride back make the van more comfortable, and a spare towel is worth its weight.
Leave jewellery at the hotel and bring only the cash you need for a tip or a possible island fee. Anyone prone to queasiness should take a remedy before boarding and sit amidships with eyes on the horizon, because twin hulls help but do not make the sea disappear. Closed shoes are not needed, and flip-flops that grip a wet deck are enough for the day.

the other boats
How the other 3-island days compare
Several boats sail the same islands. Rival boats include a second catamaran at $72 for 7 hours with 749 reviews, a sunset version at $76 for 7.5 hours and a DJ yacht at $69 for 8 hours. Each of them reaches the same group of islands, so the choice is really about the style of day.
Ours is the dearest of the group at $83, but it also has the most reviews, at 805 averaging 4.8, against 4.1 for the DJ yacht. The right boat depends on whether you value a quiet deck, an evening sunset or music, and our guide to choosing a boat sets them side by side. Read recent comments for each boat before you decide, because crowd levels and music volume matter more than the price gap.
For a different style, a Coral Island speedboat trip costs from $27 for 6 hours and a Nemo Island snorkel trip from $39 for 5. The price guide has every one of them in a table. The price guide shows every one of them in a table, with the from-price, the length and the review count side by side.

More islands and more guides
The Chonburi tourism office counts no fewer than 46 major islands off the province and a coastline of 160 kilometres, so the day on the boat is a small sample of a large sea. Our guide to the islands in Pattaya lists the near ones and the outer ones, with times and a map. Between them they cover coves, reefs and long white beaches.
Further out, Koh Samet is reached by a transfer that starts from $96 and takes 2 hours, and Koh Si Chang by public boat from Sri Racha. Koh Samui is an hour's flight from Bangkok, with no Pattaya cruise in our records. Those trips have their own guide. Those trips have their own guide, with prices, timings and a map of the piers, so you can compare them with the boat day before you decide.
Planning the rest of the stay? Read how to get to Pattaya, whether Pattaya is worth visiting, the snorkeling guide with its reef rules and the hour by hour page for this very day. Each of them is written independently and points to the booking only where it helps. Pick whichever answers the question you are asking today.
Book safely, cancel at no chargewho it suits
Who the day is for, and who it is not for
The day suits families, couples and friends who want islands without a flight and a long day with food included. It gives mixed ages a gentle shape: swimming near beaches, a buffet and monkeys to watch, in a boat with plenty of deck space. A catamaran day is easy on people of mixed ages, and the crew looks after the details.
It suits less well anyone who wants to be on a quiet, empty beach, because a catamaran of up to 60 guests and crew is a social boat. Guests who want alcohol in the price, or a pumping party, should look at the sunset yacht with a DJ instead. Quiet beach seekers will do better on a private boat or a snorkel trip that makes no landing.
It also asks for 7 to 8 hours, so it does not fit a day with a flight in it, and the sea can change the plan. If any of that sounds like you, the guides on this site point to the better fit; if not, the booking button below holds a seat for the price of nothing today. Nothing here is a hard sell, and the cancellation terms mean you can still decide later.
