Everything you need to know about Iris Yacht
Marriott Busan Ocean Park is a top recommendation, located between Ganwol Cultural Village and Haeundae Beach, just a short walk from the Alice Yacht Dock. The hotel offers spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views of the South Sea coastline and passing yachts. Complimentary shuttle services connect guests to major attractions, while on-site amenities include indoor and outdoor pools and a seaside café perfect for sunset views.
Guests also receive exclusive discounts on yacht tours, allowing them to explore Busan Port and the iconic King Taejong Monument from the water. Opt for east-southeast-facing rooms to capture the golden sunrise over the waves and the dynamic scene of yachts setting sail—ideal for creating unforgettable coastal memories.
From the Alice Yacht Experience dock, take the Busan Urban Railway (BEXCO Line) to Haeundae Station, then transfer to Subway Line 2 heading to Busan Station or Nampo-dong Station, taking about 25 minutes. Alternatively, board Bus 701, which passes through Busan Plaza and Geumjeong Market, and alight at Aeola Tower Stop, a 10-minute walk from the dock.
For convenience, consider HopeGoo a private car transfer service—many nearby hotels offer free shuttles, eliminating transfers and ideal for travelers with luggage or families. Additionally, electric bike rental stations are available near the dock, perfect for short explorations of nearby spots like Ganwol Cultural Village and Busan Seaside Trail.
Use apps like Naver Map or T Map for real-time schedules and avoid peak-hour congestion to ensure smooth travel.
Beyond standard yacht cruises, Alice Yacht Experience offers several unique water activities: snorkeling excursions in shallow coral zones, nighttime illuminated cruises with live music and stargazing, and family-friendly fishing experiences. Each yacht comes equipped with professional guides offering bilingual (English/Korean) commentary, along with life jackets, waterproof camera rentals, and light refreshments.
The sunset cruise package is highly recommended, offering breathtaking views of the Busan Harbor Lighthouse and King Taejong Monument glowing against the evening sky—perfect for photography enthusiasts. Activities run daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with reservations advised 24 hours in advance, especially on weekends and holidays.
All experiences meet international safety standards and include emergency response equipment. Some packages also include commemorative badges and limited-edition posters as keepsakes.
The prime photo location is the glass viewing platform directly in front of the Alice Yacht Dock, designed with modern architecture that blends seamlessly with the South Sea panorama. It offers a 360-degree view of anchored yachts and coastal scenery. Visit during golden hour (5:30–6:30 PM) for soft sunlight reflecting off the water, creating stunning silhouettes of yachts against a shimmering backdrop.
Nearby, a miniature replica of the King Taejong Statue provides a striking contrast between human figures and maritime elements. At night, the neon art installation atop the dock becomes a luminous focal point, ideal for dreamy long-exposure shots.
The adjacent seaside garden path, lined with hydrangeas and cherry blossoms, transforms into a popular photogenic spot during spring blooms. Bring a tripod and telephoto lens to capture depth and detail of distant yachts and sky layers for impactful, high-quality images.
