Highlights
This is a special program that combines hiking in the beautiful mountains of Busan with a unique experience of Korean rice wine, called Makgeolli at an old-style street food stall called Pocha. It's perfect for those who want to explore Busan in a more social and less touristy way. During the activity, we'll follow the weekend routine of Korean 'Ajussi,' which refers to senior guys in Korea. We'll hike up the highest mountain in Busan, enjoying breathtaking views along the way. Then, we'll visit hidden villages that only locals know about, where we'll get to try authentic Makgeolli made in those villages. It's a great opportunity to engage in casual conversations, share our cultures, and learn about different drinking traditions. By the end of the activity, you might even make a new friend from Busan! Join us for an immersive experience that lets you truly connect with the local culture and enjoy the natural beauty of Busan.

Wonderful hike, wonderful food and delicious rice wine at a place I never would have found on my own!

5A Must-Do Tour in Busan!
Hugyou was a wonderful tour guide! This is an extremely unique experience and a tour not to be missed if you're traveling to Busan :) Be forewarned, this hike is HARD and not for the feint of heart, but it's SO WORTH IT! Even with partially obstructed views and a little rain in the beginning of our day, our group had the most amazing time together. It will certainly not be a day any of us will forget :) Bring shoes with good grip and a good attitude and make some amazing memories with Hugyou in Busan!
5Lovely experience end-to-end
The hike wasn't too difficult, and the view at the end was fantastic. We really enjoyed getting to chat with our guide while hiking! Lunch was at a small "grandma vibes" place and was delicious. Definitely not somewhere we would have ended up on our own!
510/10 hike and makgeoli experience
This tour was one of the most fun and enjoyable experiences I’ve had in South Korea. Our guide, Ho-gu, was so warm and welcoming. He was truly so funny and friendly, weaving together authentic stories and facts with amusing moments along the way. The views on the mountain were breathtaking and it was very rewarding to finish off the tour with delicious homemade makgeoli and yummy food. I would 10/10 recommend this experience and that’s coming from a critical gen zer.

About Busan
Busan is South Korea's second city and biggest port, with beaches, hillside villages, temples by the sea and a huge fish market.
Busan lies at the south-east tip of the Korean peninsula, a port city squeezed between mountains and the sea. Haeundae Beach and Gwangalli Beach, backed by high-rise towers, are its best-known stretches of sand. Gamcheon Culture Village, a hillside of colourful stepped houses, was settled by refugees during the Korean War, and the UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea honours soldiers who died in that conflict.
Top-ranked sights in Busan: Gamcheon Culture Village, Jagalchi Fish Market, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.
