Jangsaengpo Whale Watching Cruise장생포 고래바다여행선

At a glance

Two kinds of trips leave Jangsaengpo port: a whale-watching run of about three hours that heads out to sea in search of whales and dolphins, and a 90-minute coastal tour, with an evening version on some nights. On board are a stage, a café and a snack bar. The service started in July 2009 — KTO calls it the first of its kind in Korea — and moved to a larger cruise-class ship in 2013, the year a minke whale and then huge pods of common dolphins were sighted. The Whale Culture Village and the Whale Museum are close by.

Tips

• 01
  If no whales show up on a whale-watching trip, the operator lets you pick free entry to the Whale Museum, the old Jangsaengpo village or the Ulsan ship, or 40% off the Whale Ecology Experience Center (4D theater excluded).
• 02
  Payment is by card only, so don't count on cash at the ticket office.
