19 Sep: ashore from 08:30, back by 20:30, 12 usable hours. Hyangiram, the cable car, Odongdo and a gejang lunch (~7h) fits with the evening left over.

September is typhoon peak, so check the track the night before.

The mistake to avoid: Taking the Hyangiram drive on 6 Apr: the Dolsan road and an 18:30 gangway do not fit inside 5 usable hours; that is the 19 Sep plan.

Azamara Pursuit in Yeosu (Korea): the day sheet

Tue, 6 Apr 2027, 13:00–20:00 (7 h in port), at The single cruise berth, Yeosu Expo Passenger Ship Terminal. Off the ship from 13:30, back at the gangway by 18:30. Print it or save it before you lose the ship's Wi-Fi.

At the pier, before you set off

The terminalYeosu Expo Passenger Ship Terminal, 320-66 Expo-daero: arrival and departure halls, snack bars, a waiting room. On cruise days only: a currency-exchange desk, a local-produce shop and a tourist information desk. The city's own 2026 study calls the waiting hall cramped and CIQ congested.
Cash and ATMsNo ATM is confirmed at the terminal; the exchange desk is temporary and small. Change money in Busan the day before. Cards work at the cable car, Suncheon Bay and the Gyodong fish market; the city-tour bus walk-up ticket and the city buses want cash.
Wi-Fi and dataNo Wi-Fi or SIM counter is published for the terminal. Buy an eSIM before sailing. KTX Expo Station, about 12 minutes on foot, is the nearest large public building.
Steps and slopesThe Expo grounds, the Sky Tower and the Odongdo breakwater (or its train) are flat. Hyangiram is steep steps and narrow stone passages; Holland America rated its own tour there strenuous when it was last sold. Its Suncheon Bay tour lists about 20 steps and 8 km of walking, not for wheelchairs.

Taxi card: show the driver, and when to head back

Maritime cable car (Jasan Park station)여수해상케이블카 자산탑승장~₩4,700
Odongdo오동도~₩4,900
Hyangiram hermitage향일암~₩28,500 each way
Suncheon Bay Wetland and the National Garden순천만습지~₩57,500 each way

“Leave by” is the gangway time minus the taxi time quoted above and 15 minutes to find a taxi; on big-ship days ranks run out, so leave earlier rather than later.
