What To Expect
Haedong Yonggungsa is a breathtaking temple located on the coast of Busan, making it one of the most unique temples in South Korea. Founded in 1376, this temple stands out from others that are typically nestled in the mountains, as it is situated right by the sea, offering a completely different atmosphere. The temple's name, which translates to "East Sea Dragon Palace Temple," is rooted in a legend that a dragon ascended from the sea to bring divine energy to the area. One of the temple's most captivating features is the harmonious blend of the temple's architecture with the stunning coastal scenery. To reach the temple, visitors must descend 108 steps, and as they do, they are greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea. Haedong Yonggungsa is especially famous as a prime spot to watch the sunrise, with many visitors arriving early in the morning to witness the spectacular scene of the sun rising over the East Sea, casting its golden light over the temple.
This place, known as 'Hanok', is the epitome of traditional Korean architecture's beauty in Busan. Here, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of Korean traditional houses and experience a moment where time seems to stand still, away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. In this serene setting, you can enjoy the soothing melodies of the traditional Korean instrument, the Gayageum, harmonizing with nature, providing a tranquil retreat from everyday stress. Additionally, don't miss out on the most popular drinks here – the Black Sesame Latte and the Icheon Rice Latte, each offering a unique and delightful taste experience. (If the café opening hours do not fit, we will change the stop to the UN Memorial Cemetery.)

5.00The day was educational and a lot of fun. Suki was an excellent guide. The weather got very unpredictable but she managed to freestyle the itinerary so we didn't get (too) wet. Recommended.
Wonderful tour with our guide Finn

5.00Tour guide Finn was wonderful!! He was very knowledgeable about all the areas we went to. He was friendly, personable, and anticipated our needs, (bathrooms, suggesting alternate navigation when faced with stairs, umbrellas available to us when rain came through. He even adjusted the tour when a particular stop closed due to weather. We enjoyed our day with him! Definitely recommend this tour.

4.00We joined the Busan shore excursion with Korea Go Tours during our cruise stop, and overall it was a well-organized and enjoyable way to experience the city’s highlights. Our guide was friendly, professional, and kept us on time throughout the day. The tour began with a visit to a beautiful seaside temple, peaceful and scenic with lovely views of the ocean. Next came the Oryukdo Skywalk, where the glass platform offered dramatic views of the cliffs and coastline. We then stopped at Lotte Mall for lunch and shopping — a comfortable and convenient break, though I would have preferred a meal at a more traditional, local restaurant to get a better taste of Busan’s culture and cuisine. In the afternoon, we explored the Jagalchi Fish Market and Gamcheon Culture Village. Both were interesting, but it would have been ideal to visit the fish market earlier in the day when it’s at its most lively and bustling. Gamcheon, with its colorful hillside houses and murals, was a perfect final stop for photos and a stroll. The transportation was clean and comfortable, and the tour was efficiently timed to fit our cruise schedule. Overall, a great introduction to Busan — a mix of scenic views, cultural sights, and modern stops. With a few small timing tweaks, it would be a five-star experience.

5.00Was a great tour guide and experience. Would recommend again. Lunch was a bit expensive however so keep that in mind. Great to have a speaker in the back for when Jason spoke so we could hear clearly.

4.00Great tour and tour guide who is very enthusiastic about Busan which was really nice as tourists. Our guide showcased Busan and we had a full day filled with many interesting stops from museums to cultural centers to the UN Memorial cemetery. Unfortunately, as there was so much to see we ran out of time to visit the market square and fish market. Time management by the tour guide would have assisted in ensuring that guests keep to timing so as to allow all guests to see as much as possible. Overall, a great tour.

5.00Great variety. Temple by the sea, fish market. Our guide Mimi was amazing. When it started to rain she took us to the most beautiful tea room. It was the best combination of activities. We had a fantastic lunch at the fish market too!
