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.

    Jun was amazing. He was so helpful and paced to my speed (though I am fairly certain he could have run up). Gave great information about the local area and even sent me some restaurant suggestions after. It was by far my best thing to do on my trip despite the rain.

  • Wonderful experience

    Hiking with Hug You was amazing! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. As well as enjoying the hike, we also had a wonderful cultural exchange. I would highly recommend this hike to anyone. The magkeolli and lunch we had later was another highlight of the day. I'm very grateful for their hospitality. I'll be back!

  • Great Experience!

    We had a really wonderful time, hiking and a full authentic Korean meal. Our guide was very intelligent and taught us a lot of historical facts along the way. The mountain is not steep but there were areas that had an incline. I don’t work out much but it was doable. The whole experience was under 15k steps.

  • Amazing views

    Highly recommend guide Jun. He was friendly to talk with, adaptable to my fitness level and showed me a few amazing watch tower look-out points that made for great photo ops. The place we stopped for lunch was just perfect! All the ingredients were locally grown and the Makgeolli was delicious. Amazing day out for anyone looking for an alternative activity in Busan away from the hustle.
