Welcome!

“For fun. FOR FUN! YOU-” gets cut off. I can’t 😂

[@whereisant]

Lol.. for the record.. there wasn’t any mean/foul language involved. However, he did scold me for spending money on the full set of toiletries just to have a shower

[@user-ey2ei5yv3f]

Your son, seems real bright and well spoken, I think the Captain should let him drive the boat at least halfway.

[@whereisant]

Language barrier was the main issue. We couldn't speak any Korean and I would have asked if I knew they understood any English

[@hotelvasthorizon]

Nice video, thank you. Surprised that the "room" is an open compartment like that!

[@whereisant]

Yeah, the open compartment wasn't as bad as we thought it would be as it wasn't packed/busy. Mind you, there's also another option where there's no compartments at all. Just open floor.. can't imagine being able to sleep at all :)

[@jackeduprecruit]

After Sewol, I can understand ferry's not being a popular choice

[@papayajuice]

thumbs up. I know how much effort was put in to tell a story. Cheers!

[@whereisant]

Thank you! Cheers! I see you're mega consistent with your video uploads.

[@papayajuice]

@@whereisant trying to keep my enthusiasm going. Cheers!

[@user-ey2ei5yv3f]

All the ferry's leave at night, seems adventurous.

[@whereisant]

It was fun , and something that my son will remember.

[@harveysalelan9819]

the ship MS FERRY has been sold here in the Philippines ship company of 2GO and its name here is MV 2GO MASIGLA and it just arrived here from South Korea😢

[@whereisant]

Thanks for that info. At least we know there won’t be a Busan-Jeju ferry anytime soon.

[@awonglk]

​@@Christian4ever_ I'm not across a regular ferry service between Korea and Philippines. Although I have heard about plans for cruises between the two countries.

[@Christian4ever_]

@@awonglk oh okay

[@Christian4ever_]

@@awonglk yeah hopefully there's a ferry between Korea and The Philippines bc plane tickets to go abroad are so expensive and bc ferries are a lil bit safer than planes to me

[@WilsonWongWilzWorkz]

i am wondering what your kid thinks...LOL. Well done Ozzies!

[@whereisant]

He's good with it :) it was only a rather short overnight stay. Might have been a different story if it was over multiple days.

[@alexandrephiev2129]

Hello, can you share the link where we can book the ticket with Ocean Vista Ferry? we are very interested but I cannot find their website and cannot see their line being sold on 12go Asia. Thank you!

[@whereisant]

You can find their website here: www.oceanvista.co.kr But it's pretty much useless unless you understand Korean and you have a local credit card to pay with. Instead we booked it via online chat on their official Kakao account. Using a bit of Google Translate and a bit of patience.. you can reserve a room without upfront payment. Here's their Kakao chat channel: pf.kakao.com/_vxdxjTs You can pay them at the terminal when you arrive on the day. Hope that helps.

[@saurabhshrigadi]

Damn, pretty good

[@whereisant]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-ey2ei5yv3f]

Did you have to pay extra for the cubicle, where you slept? for the journey.

[@whereisant]

Yes, definitely had to pay extra for it. It's also more expensive if the "friend room" has a window view. They have options for a proper bedroom as well. So just comes down to what you are willing to pay

[@abhishekpatil520]

Can you please put the prices of the tickets in the description below? For BUS, Ferry?

[@whereisant]

Bus Fares between "Busan Sasang" and "Samcheon": 11300 KRW You can find out current prices, you'll need to go - www.bustago.or.kr "Friend" Room on Ferry between Samcheon and Jeju Island: 154,000 KRW www.oceanvista.co.kr/theme/main/html/price_cus.php

[@iStorm-my5fp]

Was it worth it? I'll be in SK for 10 days to 2 weeks and want to hit up Seoul-Busan-Juju

[@whereisant]

2 weeks is a nice length to cover Seoul-Busan-Jeju. I personally think the ferry is worth it for a bit of "off the beaten path" adventure. It only takes one extra day out of your schedule and you'll get to see a more local Korea too. There's sights near Samcheonpo that we didn't cover because we chose to leave Busan late in the afternoon. But you can easily fit in a bit of sightseeing too if you leave earlier. Really depends on what you are looking for.

Im from korea!!!!

[@whereisant]

Thanks for watching!

[@wazyn91]

Hello and thanks for your content. Could you share a website where you can buy a ferry ticket?

[@whereisant]

Their website is here -> www.oceanvista.co.kr/ However, I notice it has been restricted for use in Korea only, and you need a Korean issued credit card in order to pay. I did not book from their website at all. Instead, I downloaded Kakao messaging app (on your mobile).. and you can reach them on their official channel by searching for: 오션비스타제주 With the help of Korean translation to English.. you can book a room without any upfront payment. We paid for the room when we went the to terminal on the day Alternatively.. you can try to reach them via email - [e-mail]
