Hotels near Songdo Marine Cable Car and Skywalk

The Songdo Marine Cable Car, branded Busan Air Cruise, runs 1.62 km across Songdo Bay between Songnim Park and Amnam Park, reaching about 86 m above the water at its highest point. It reopened in 2017, nearly thirty years after the original 1964 line was dismantled in 1988. Standard cabins and Crystal Cruise cabins with transparent glass floors run on the same cable, so the only difference is the floor and the fare.

Round-trip fares run about 17,000 KRW for a standard adult cabin and 22,000 KRW for the Crystal Cruise, with one-way tickets at roughly two thirds of that. At the Amnam Park end, the Songdo Yonggung Cloud Trails form a 365 m looped skywalk pinned over the rocks, and walking it costs nothing. Songdo Beach itself is small at 800 m, but it opened in 1913 as the first public beach in Korea.

Pro Tip: Ride out in daylight and come back after sunset. Last boarding is usually 21:00 in summer and 19:00 in winter, and the return leg with the coastline lit up is the better half of the trip.
