Totally worth it! The boat is huge and beautiful. It was raining heavily before departure, so I was worried, but it was just an afternoon thunderstorm and cleared up quickly 👍. I was very lucky to see a lot of dolphins 🐬. This was my favorite part of the whole trip!

I was initially worried because the explanation was in English, but it was easy to understand and fun, so I really enjoyed it! I also got to try makgeolli and soju, which helped me bond with the other participants. I'm looking forward to the makgeolli I brought home being ready.

The staff were very polite, and the boat was clean and tidy, with fruit and drinks provided. One of the male staff members was very polite and proactively offered to help take photos. It's a pity that we didn't see any dolphins during the trip, but overall it's still recommended!

It was a very good travel experience. We had originally booked it for Friday, but due to heavy rain, the yacht company took the initiative to ask if we could reschedule. As expected, the weather was very good on Saturday. The whole trip took about an hour. It was worth it.
