My kid's eyes went wide when dolphins appeared right next to the boat — worth every won.

Crew tip ($1–2 per person)
Wear water leggings if you want to climb to the upper deck — there's a ladder. The captain doesn't accept tips; give $1–2 to the crew members as you disembark.
5-Year-Old's First Snorkeling
Our 5-year-old son tried snorkeling for the first time, clinging to dad. He adapted quickly with a full-face mask and was soon swimming alongside dad independently.
Even our 60s-something grandmother and my water-phobic self had no trouble with the full-face mask. A genuinely all-ages experience.
Dolphins, Sea Turtles & Sharks
We encountered a pod of dolphins first, then spotted sea turtles multiple times. Near the harbor, a shark and stingray swam right past us. Seeing these animals in the wild — not at an aquarium — genuinely thrilled the kids.
On-Board Food & Service
After snorkeling, the crew served tuna sashimi, bread, snacks, and drinks — everything tasted amazing when hungry. The crew also took 600+ photos of us and delivered beautiful family portraits.
Final Verdict
Suitable for children under 5 with a full-face mask
High chance of seeing dolphins, sea turtles, and sharks
Excellent crew service and photo quality
Great value as a Tanguisson + Dolphin Cruise package
FAQ
Can toddlers snorkel?
Yes! Our 5-year-old managed fine with a full-face snorkel mask alongside an adult. The shallow calm water helps a lot.
Is seasickness a problem?
The vessel is large and stable — we had no issues. If you're prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand just in case.
Is the package deal worth it?
Absolutely. The Naver Store bundle (Starlight Tour + Dolphin Cruise) offers a meaningful discount over separate bookings.
