Experience the Magic of Busan: A Must-Do Yacht Tour at Gwangalli Diamond Bay
If you're planning a trip to Busan, there's one experience you absolutely shouldn't miss:
a yacht tour at Gwangalli Diamond Bay!
I booked the 8:30 PM time slot on a weekend, and it was pure bliss. The weather was nice and cool, and feeling the sea breeze while enjoying the night view of the Gwangan Bridge was incredibly healing.
I was surprised by how reasonable the price was. The service was excellent, making it a great value for money. Plus, they often have summer promotions in August, making it even more affordable.
Location: Across from the cruise ship terminal on the ocean side of 101, Bunpo-ro, Nam-gu, Busan
Operating Hours: Varies by time slot (evening slots are the most popular!)
Parking: Large parking lot available, easily accessible for large buses and group vehicles.
Public Transportation: Take Busan Subway Line 2 to Kyungsung University·Pukyong National University Station and transfer to a bus.
The departure point is the Diamond Bay private pier in Busan Yongho Bay.
Many people take yacht tours from the Suyeong Bay Yachting Center, but it's usually very crowded. Here, they have a private pier and a dedicated waiting area, making it much more pleasant.
There's plenty of parking, so you don't have to worry about bringing your car.
There's even a cute Boogi character photo zone to snap a pic!
Entering the boarding area with its exclusive waiting space was a great experience.
The waiting area was calm and organized, and the clear guidance made me feel good right from the start.
You can also purchase water, beverages, and beer!
You must fill out a boarding form before getting on the yacht!
And don't forget to bring your ID.
Shall we go for a yacht ride?
I was surprised by the size of the yacht. It was much bigger than I expected!
I heard it's the largest yacht in Busan, which made me feel much safer.
Plus, it's operated by a company with a 10-year accident-free record and officially licensed by the Korea Coast Guard, so I could trust them.
The interior of the first floor is also very spacious and comfortable!
The left is the 2nd floor and the right is the 1st floor!
You must secure an outdoor seat on the Gwangalli Yacht Tour!
The passengers ranged from foreign tourists to couples and families, all busy taking pictures.
I was drawn into the atmosphere and ended up taking tons of pictures too!
The course is about 50 minutes long and goes from Yongho Bay → the sea in front of Gwangan Bridge → Dongbaek Island → to the sea in front of Haeundae.
The scenery under the lights of the Gwangan Bridge is especially beautiful.
It's even prettier in person than in pictures!
Listening to music and sitting in the sea breeze on the yacht was the epitome of romance.
I can even see my neighborhood, Gwangalli Beach!
The highlight of the night yacht tour! Although Diamond Bay doesn't have fireworks, I was able to see fireworks from other boats up close, which was absolutely mesmerizing!
I was able to watch the fireworks from other boats from a great location!
Watching the fireworks with the sea breeze was so romantic. It's the perfect addition to any Busan itinerary!
Standing on the spacious deck, smelling the sea, and taking pictures was perfect!!
The Gwangan Bridge and the night view of Marine City shimmered beyond the horizon. You can even see Dongbaek Island in the distance.
Many people came out to the front of the first floor because the view was better!!
Now, back to Yongho Bay!!
I had previously taken the Diamond Bay tour during the day and was so satisfied that I tried it at night!
As expected for a must-do course in Busan, the 50-minute trip was fulfilling, the yacht was large and safe, so I didn't feel uneasy at all.
The private pier was a great advantage as it wasn't crowded.
It's a great place to visit with kids, friends, couples, or even as a group. Everyone will be satisfied!
