We do not
chase them
Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins are a protected marine species. The closer we get, the slower we go — and within 300 m the engine stops. The best sighting is when a dolphin chooses to approach a boat that has already stopped.

Enjoy the port with your activity ticket and Moodol coin
Yours at check-in
At check-in we hand each guest one fishing-village activity ticket and one Moodol coin (except infants under 24 months). The coin works like cash on goods, snacks, drinks, activities and partner cafés — and you can buy more on site (KRW 2,000 each, or KRW 1,800 each when you buy 5 or more).
Shell painting · bamboo fishing
Back at the port, one activity ticket covers one activity (tickets cannot be exchanged for coins). Want a second one? That takes 1 coin. You take your painted turban shell home; the small fish you catch go back to the sea after a photo — the same principle that guides the tour itself.
When we don't meet them
Wild dolphins are never a guarantee. What we can promise is that a disappointing day does not end empty-handed.
If we miss the dolphins
On days when we don't get a proper sighting, we hand out extra Moodol coins on the spot (infants under 24 months excepted).
- These come on top of the one coin you get at check-in
- Spend them right away on goods, snacks, drinks and activities
- We won't send you home empty-handed after a disappointing day

Before you come aboard
What to wear
It gets windy out at sea. A light jacket helps even in summer, and hold on to your hat. This is a speedboat, so expect some spray.
If you get seasick
Motion sickness medication works best taken 30 minutes before boarding — it is also available on site (1 coin). Sit mid-boat, look at the far horizon, and avoid both an empty stomach and a heavy meal. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on other medication, please check with a pharmacist.
Arrival time
Please arrive 30 minutes before departure. If you are running late, arriving at least 25 minutes before departure lets you join the ecology briefing. Dedicated parking is available on both sides of the meeting point.
Frequently asked
All FAQsAre we guaranteed to see dolphins?
We cannot guarantee it — these are wild dolphins swimming freely. Pods of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins are seen in these waters throughout the year, but how much you see depends on the day. Departures that fall short are covered by our reward scheme.
What if we don't see any dolphins?
Wild dolphins can't be guaranteed. On days when we don't get a proper sighting, we hand out extra Moodol coins on the spot (except infants under 24 months) — the captain who was on the water decides how many. Spend them on goods, snacks and activities.
Can I bring my pet?
Small and medium dogs up to 10 kg may board inside a bag or kennel. Being a speedboat, the owner must hold the bag firmly throughout. Large dogs that do not fit in a kennel are only possible with a private boat charter.
Can I board with my children?
There is no age limit, and children may board with a guardian. Every passenger wears a life jacket. Adult fares apply from 12, child fares from 24 months to under 12, and under 24 months is free.
