Yeosu Maritime Cable Car Visitor Guide — Korea's Longest Over-Water Journey
Soar above Yeosu's sparkling harbor on the Maritime Cable Car. Enjoy panoramic coastal views and a unique perspective on this vibrant port city.
Yeosu Maritime Cable Car is the first of its kind in Korea, connecting Dolsan Island and the mainland over the ocean. Passengers can choose between the standard cabins and crystal cabins. In particular, crystal cabins allow passengers to observe the ocean below ones feet, experiencing the thrill of being suspended in mid-air through its transparent flooring.◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charmThis is the place where Wanna One’s Jaehwan visited with Yoon Jisung as a part of the web series “Paljjangzgram.” The two listened to music with Bluetooth connection in the cable car and drew each others’ portraits, and Jisung expressed his thanks for the invitation, saying, “Thank you for bringing me along, and I think I will never forget this memory.”
Why Yeosu Maritime Cable Car (여수 해상케이블카) matters
Imagine gliding silently over the cerulean waters of Yeosu, the salty breeze carrying the scent of the sea as a vibrant port unfolds beneath you. The Yeosu Maritime Cable Car offers just that: a unique perspective on this southern coastal gem. As Korea's longest over-water cable car, it provides an unforgettable journey across the harbour, connecting the mainland to the scenic Dolsan Island.
The Allure of the Yeosu Maritime Cable Car
The primary draw of the Yeosu Maritime Cable Car is undoubtedly its unparalleled views. Unlike land-based viewpoints, the cable car provides an elevated, unobstructed perspective that changes dynamically as you glide along.
As the cable car moves further over the water, the focus shifts to the natural landscape. Dolsan Island, the destination, emerges as a verdant mass rising from the sea, its coastline sculpted by centuries of wind and waves.
Dolsan Grand Park and the Dolsan Bridge are also notable landmarks. The cable car essentially acts as a gateway, seamlessly connecting the urban exploration of Yeosu with the natural and culinary delights of Dolsan Island, making for a well-rounded day trip.
