You can freely lounge on the beach for a sunbath, wade in the waves and let your thoughts drift, or opt for water activities like snorkelling and parasailing to explore the vibrant corals, schools of fish, and underwater canyons, unlocking a colourful marine world. A special seaside lunch is fresh and delicious, served with a sea view, letting you savour the full flavour of Southeast Asian cuisine.

After fully enjoying the island scenery, there's a midway stop at a Pattaya viewpoint, offering a sweeping panorama of the magnificent Pattaya Bay.
