Embark on a breathtaking journey with our in-depth exploration guide of Busan’s premier attraction , Diamond Yacht Cruise. In this comprehensive guide, we unveil everything you need to know about this luxurious experience, from ticket prices to the best booking methods, operational hours, and convenient ways to reach this must-do attraction. Get ready to set sail as we share our firsthand encounter, complete with top photos and insightful details. This makes it on the list for top things to do in Busan and you’ll soon see why!

Best Time to Visit Busan

Busan is a year-round tourist destination with various attractions during each season. The spring season (April to June) is distinguished by beautiful cherry blossoms and comfortable weather. While the summer monsoon (rainy) season lasts from July through August, it also delivers sunny beach days. The autumn season (September to November) offers pleasant weather and vibrant foliage. Those who like milder weather and festive festivities will find winter (December to February) to be preferable.

When selecting the ideal time to appreciate Busan’s varied offerings, take your interests and other activities into account.

Where to Stay in Busan

Busan offers a wide variety of beautiful accommodations, but before we dive into our hotel recommendations, we’ve provided the three best areas to stay in when visiting Busan. Search the following areas when you are looking for accommodation in Busan. It is close to most attractions and main necessities. 

Haeundae is arguably the most well-known and visited neighborhood by tourists. Home to the famous Haeundae Beach, which is surrounded by hotels, resorts, restaurants, and bars. Busan X The Sky, Haeundae Market, and the Busan Aquarium are also nearby.

• BUDGET Popcorn Hostel Haeundae: Clean and cozy rooms await just a short distance to Haeundae Beach.

• Luxury: The Westin Chosun Busan: A five-star luxury hotel offering gorgeous rooms, stunning fine dining options, a serene pool, and a prime beachfront location. 

A lively neighborhood well known for its street food scene, shopping, and cultural attractions, Nampodong is situated in the center of downtown Busan. It is a great option for those interested in visiting places like the Jagalchi Fish Market, Busan Tower, and the Gamcheon Culture Village.

• BUDGET: Busan Backpackers: Offers affordable accommodation in the centre of Nampodong, close to vibrant street food, and cultural attractions of the area.
• MID-TIER: Hotel Foret Premier Nampo: located in the bustling Nampodong district, offering easy access to shopping, dining, and cultural sites.

Home to Gwangalli Beach and Milac The Market, it’s another popular choice in the middle of Haeundae and Nampodong. It offers a mix of modern accommodations, a vibrant nightlife scene, and scenic views of the Gwangan Bridge. If you’re interested in attractions in all three areas this could be an attractive option

• Luxury: Park Hyatt Busan: A five-star gem in the Gwangan area offering premium accommodations, panoramic sea views, wonderful dining options, and a unique ambiance for a very comfortable stay.

Price & Ticketing

Depending on whether you purchase the Visit Busan Pass will determine the best way to book the tickets.

Option 1: Visit Busan Pass : The tickets were included with the Visit Busan Pass along with all the top things to do in Busan!

We contacted Diamond Bay Yacht +82-51-200-0002 in advance to schedule our time based on availability.

We did the sunset cruise time and recommend booking a couple of days in advance versus showing up on the day to ensure you can book your desired time slot.

Option 2: If you’re not purchasing the Visit Busan Pass, you can alternatively book tickets in advance with S uyeongman Bay Yachting Center online to secure a spot and time. This yacht tour comes with a stunning firework experience from the boat and option to have private boat charter for up to 10 people!

Hours of Operation

10:30 A.M.-10:00 P.M.

*You need to check specific times that the boat has tours. We had to visit the location to book a time for the next day. There’s also the option to give them a call or message to book a time. 

How to Get There

The best way to get to Diamond Bay Yacht Tours in Busan is by using public transportation such as the subway or bus. Depending on where you’re departing from it may be more beneficial to take the the bus versus the subway.

We recommend finding the optimal route in the Naver Maps app on the phone, trust us Google Maps might just get you lost. It will show you the public transportation route but not the walking route in most cases so use the Korean apps for navigation. We recommend you also make a list of the Korean addresses for all the top things to do in Busan, we made a blog post on the top 15 things to do in Busan along with giving you the Korean addresses to save. You can download the Naver Maps app from the app store.

For ultimate door-to-door service, a taxi is most efficient however, if you have less than three people, it may be more expensive. If you choose this option make sure you have the Korean address handy as sometimes there is a language barrier.

Our Experience & Guide

Escape to the serene waters of Busan with Diamond Bay Yacht Tours . This is one of the top things to do in Busan and one of our favorite activities to get beautiful views of the city. This travel guide will include specific details for the Diamond Bay Yacht tour which is a part of the Visit Busan Pass ! Check out our blog post 15 Things to Do & Eat in Busan where 12 of the activities were done with the pass.

Diamond Bay Yacht Tours has a 72-foot catamaran complete with a covered indoor cabin with a seating area and mini bar, and an upper deck open potion with more seating! We recommend pre-booking your spot 2-3 days in advance and confirming prior to arriving. So that the yacht is able to run that day as it is typically dependent on weather.

Check-In & Pre-Boarding

On the day you will arrive approximately 30 minutes prior to departure to check-in at the counter where you will sign a boarding declaration form. There is a nice waiting area where you can relax, and purchase a snack and drink prior to boarding the yacht. 

We heard that normally there are supposed to be 8-10 people for the Yacht to operate and not be cancelled for the time slot. However, we were only with two other people, and we were still able to go on the tour!

Diamond Bay Yacht | Top Things to do in Busan

When we boarded the yacht we could feel how luxurious the experience was. It resembled a semi-private tour because there were only 2 others. The most beautiful parts of this tour were being able to see Marine City Haundae skyscrapers and the stunning Gwangali bridge up close.

Haeundae Marine City

Haeundae Marine City in Busan is a modern waterfront hub. It is known for its stunning skyscrapers, luxury living and panoramic sea views.

Gwangalli Bridge or Gwangan Bridge

One of the top things to do in Busan is see the Gwangan bridge and this cruise allows you to see different angles along with going under it. An iconic Busan landmark, connects neighborhoods and dazzles with its nighttime illumination, providing stunning cityscape views and a vibrant atmosphere for visitors. You can see it from a distance from Gwangalli Beach. However, the yacht cruise allows you to get a picture very close to it!

How Long Is the Yacht Ride

The yacht ride from start to finish takes around 60 minutes. 

Safety Measures and Comfort Onboard

We felt safe the entire time we were onboard the yacht! There were various different areas to sit around the Yacht which is enjoyable to see different viewpoints! Depending on the day the waves may be harsher than others. However, the bottom covered portion in the middle of the yacht is probably the safest area you can sit. It will have the least amount of motion rolling from side to side.

This is definitely one of the top things to do in Busan that you do not want to miss!

Hidden & Secret places to visit in Busan

The Bay 101 Yacht Tour 더베이 101 | Scenic Busan Boat Tour

Busan’s beach night views may be amazing, but seeing Busan FROM the sea ON a boat is something else. Today, we will be bringing you on a yacht tour along Busan shores and we will be slipping off from The Bay 101.

Head to the main building (It’s very difficult to miss it, really) and get your yacht tickets from the ticketing booth. I bought my tickets at 30,000 won (Weekend night, March 2022). Ticket prices may differ so please check here for the latest prices.

HOT TIP: The yachts slip off every hour between 10 am to 10 pm so time your arrival at The Bay 101 properly to avoid waiting too long for the next yacht.

Once you have your tickets, proceed to the pier and wait to board the yacht.

The fun begins when you board the yacht. Now, I won’t be doing the whole yacht experience justice using pictures alone so enjoy the video that I have put together.

The whole ride took about an hour. The views were spectacular and I really recommend taking the yacht at night. They serve refreshments on the yacht too. If you want to try being on the helm, you can ask the captain for permission.

After 60 minutes of great views and a potential bout of seasickness, why not head back to The Bay 101 for some Fish and Chips served alongside a cup of ice-cold beer from Fingers and Chat?

HOT TIP: There were a lot of people dining at The Bay 101 before our yacht ride. Because we took the last yacht tour and returned to shore late, the crowd dispersed and dining was much more comfortable.

Overall, the whole experience was magical. If you come to Busan, this tour of Busan shores is definitely something you don’t want to miss. You won’t be able to find something similar in Seoul.
