Review for: One-way ticket

it was a fast and smooth ride. less than 10 minutes from USJ port to aquarium port. We wanted to see the view so we sat on the top although it was cold we loved the scenery

Review for: Round-trip ticket

It is very convenient to go to the aquarium by boat, and the staff's instructions are very clear. It is worth a visit for families with children!

Review for: One-way ticket

Reasonable price and ease of buying a ticket on Klook is second to none! Just be aware when you buy your confirmation QR code has to be taken into the ticket office booth for them to scan to give you a physical ticket. The agents are really sweet and helpful, they'll direct you where you need to go even if there's a bit of a language barrier. It was a fast and smooth sailing from USJ to the aquarium! Best way to get to there, even if you get off at the Universal City station and walk over to the ferry station just outside Hotel Universal Port.

Review for: Round-trip ticket

The ferry to go from Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan to Universal Studios Japan is a good way to discover Osaka by boat in the Bay of Osaka. The trip lasts roughly ten minutes. There is a deck at the top of the boat to feel the breeze from the sea and to benefit from the view. I recommend that travel experience.

Review for: One-way ticket

I think this is the fastest and most convenient way to get to Kaiyukan! It was easy to book in advance through Klook. It seems to operate every hour at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour.
