We boarded three separate cruise ships! Check-in is (presumably) up to 30 minutes before departure, and the meeting time at the boarding area is 10 minutes prior. However, I recommend waiting inside the building where check-in is located, as there are food vendors and tables, which will keep you warm. Japanese guests are grouped together and accompanied by staff members who speak Japanese! We took an evening cruise, and although it was cold, warm drinks and blankets were provided for us to use freely. They even launched fireworks from a spot where Gwangandaegyo Bridge was visible and took photos for us with our own smartphones and cameras!

This experience was amazing! Our guide Brent ...or Brenda (legends says that people are still trying to figure it out what is his name😂) was truly exceptional. He was super attentive and caring, always ready to answer our questions and taking pictures. I highly recommend to take this tour with them!

Many facilities are suitable for children, but at the same time, there are also many thrilling rides that are not. So, if you're bringing children, please be mindful of this. I hope you enjoy the facilities: thrilling.

This experience was a 10/10! A must do when in Busan. They provided blankets and hand warmers which made the experience more enjoyable as we went in cold weather! The employees were super nice as well. Definitely recommend the Drone Show for saturday nights!

It was incredibly convenient to get in right away just by showing the staff the QR code! The exhibition was also large-scale and very impressive!
