Before departure, Sherry clearly informed us of the meeting place and time. When we arrived at the scenic spot, she also clearly explained the origin. In addition, Rosey was also very attentive. The two tour guides were very professional and worthy of encouragement! This trip was very pleasant and I will join your company's trip again next time!

Fun and affordable activity around the Haeundae area. Dont forget to check their schedule on feeding times of Otters, Penguins, Sharks, and a mermaid show! I suggest going at around 2-3pm so you can watch them all.

Great tour. Had a wonderful time even as a solo traveler. Tour guides Rosey and Sherry were very friendly and was able to explain the areas really well and they also help you take photos. The lunch was also really good (17k won separate payment). highly recommend this tour

It's very spacious and comfortable inside. The jellyfish area is colorful and beautiful. The penguins are super cute. I'll want to go there again if I have the chance. It's a place suitable for children. The beach is right next to it. Children have a lot of fun.

It is a very suitable place for the whole family. Next to it is the beach of Haeundae, where you can see seagulls. Opposite is a very lively street, and there is an underground parking lot (but it is quite expensive. We only had to park for a few hours and it cost NT$500up.) Cash only)

Rosey was amazing with all the reservations and communication. Enjoyed the tour but do note it’s fast pace. If you have an elderly parent like me, do consider they may have to wait at the waiting point or may not see fully if their legs cannot carry them. Bukguksa Temple meeting point is 10 mins up hill. The other attractions were mostly fine. Expect to clock 15k steps.
