What to expect

🐬 Meet the fairies of the sea, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, only in Jeju!

Embark on an exciting speedboat ride in Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju to find wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins! Because a dolphin habitat has formed in the waters of Jeju, it is the only place in South Korea where you can observe pods of wild dolphins up close.

Departing from Dongil-ri Port, the tour follows the beautiful Jeju coastline. The actual boat ride lasts about 40 to 50 minutes, and the total experience time, including check-in, safety training, putting on life jackets, and an ecological briefing, is about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Tours operate daily from 10:00 to 17:00, departing every hour.

📍 Meeting Place and Directions

  • Meeting Place: Dongil-ri Port, 14-32 Dongilhamoro 98-gil, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si
  • Recommended Arrival Time: Please arrive at the site 30 minutes before the tour departure.
  • Parking and Public Transportation: Free parking available / Take bus No. 202 and get off at the 'Dongil 1-ri' stop (5-minute walk)

📍 Important Notes and Refund Policy

Review for: Wild Southern Dolphin Speedboat Tour

I went because I heard you could see Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins out on the ocean, and I was lucky enough to see a whole pod of them! Before boarding the boat, we received an ecological education about the dolphins, which made seeing them feel even more special. After the tour, we were able to participate in a fishing village experience using the 'Numul Dolphin Coins' provided during the educational session. I chose the fishing experience and had a blast! If I get the chance, I would love to come back to see the dolphins again.

Review for: Wild Southern Dolphin Speedboat Tour

I didn't get to see the dolphins as well as I had hoped. It was a bit disappointing to only catch a glimpse of their fins, but that can't be helped. I understand that not forcing behaviors on wildlife is a responsible, eco-friendly approach. On the other hand, the boat ride itself—which I didn't expect much from—was a lot of fun! Overall, the staff were very friendly, and providing a multilingual web-based app made everything easy to follow without any trouble. It’s a reasonably priced experience that I would definitely recommend.

Review for: Wild Southern Dolphin Speedboat Tour

We saw dolphins, so lucky! A whole pod of dolphins was diving in and out of the distant sea, very cute. The high-speed boat ride on the way back was also a lot of fun. There were clear multilingual brochures, which was very convenient. However: Why was there no 7-minute presentation on dolphin ecology mentioned in the brochure? Was it because out of the three pairs of tourists, two spoke Chinese and one spoke English? I had even prepared real-time translation software to explain it to the kids! This was very disappointing! The driver had zero interaction with anyone the entire time, and after getting off the boat, there were no activities to participate in. We just swapped a sticker for a keychain, and the activity was over.
