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.

    This hike is an absolute must to see a different part of Busan 🤩 The MOST amazing views! Such a beautiful hike and a delicious lunch and drink afterwards.. The total hiking time is 2 hours, and 40 minutes or this was downhill.. I was quite slow but the guide, Hugyou, was very supportive.. An absolute must. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Busan 💜

    Was a great experience, able to see the ocean and Japan in the distance on a sunny day! Would recommend if you are looking for a hike with good views and good food!

  • Great excursion away from the tourists

    This hike was approximately 6-7 km, steep and rocky in some areas and I would recommend wearing shoes with good traction. The lunch was delicious and authentic. If you are looking for more of a local experience, this is your excursion. When we were finished, Hug-you went out of his way to lead me to a pharmacist and act as an interpreter, saving me much time and aggression. Truly a kind person. Thank you Hug-you for a fabulous morning.

    Hiking with our guide Junwoo is amazing! He is knowledgeable and have a pretty great sense of humour throughout the tour. The lunch towards the end of the tour (Makgeolli, seafood pancake, and noodles) was very delicious.

  • Authentic, away from tourists tour

    urmila g,Nov 1, 2025

    This is a little gem of a tour, away from the crowds of tourists. It starts by catching a local bus from the meeting point (Tmoney card needed). The tour guide was responsive, calm and friendly. The short but hilly hike in the woods was invigorating. The scenery is just gorgeous. The lunch spot is an authentic tent cafe where Koreans come to eat, cooked by a lady who grows her own veg.

  • Do this hike!
