What To Expect
Ahopsan Forest
Ahopsan Forest, located in Busan, South Korea, is a hidden gem known for its natural beauty and cultural significance. This forest gets its name from the nine peaks surrounding it, and for over 400 years, it has been preserved by the Moon family. The forest’s towering bamboo groves and serene trails make it a perfect escape for nature lovers. Ahopsan Forest gained popularity as the backdrop for various Korean dramas, including "The King: Eternal Monarch", among others. Its mystical and tranquil atmosphere has captivated filmmakers and visitors alike. Walking through its peaceful trails, visitors can enjoy the dense bamboo forests and the ancient Geumgang pines, adding to the unique charm of the place. Aside from its natural allure, Ahopsan also holds historical significance with Gwanmiheon, a traditional Korean house built without nails by the Moon family, blending seamlessly with the forest. This hanok reflects the harmonious relationship between nature and architecture in Korea.
Haedong Yonggungsa
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.

The perfect guide for your first “taste” of Busan

5.00My guide, Arthur, gave me such a warm welcome to South Korea! I so enjoyed the time and the delicious foods that we shared. We were able to see all of the places in which I had an interest. I could not have chosen a more perfect guide for my first “taste” of all that Busan has to offer. Arthur was punctual, organized, and provided a thoughtfully planned and very instructive tour. He also spoke impeccable English. How lucky that I was paired with an English teacher who shared so many of my interests!
Jake knows so much history and added so much color to our visit.

5.00Jake was a wonderful guide. He took us to the two places that would have been more difficult to get to on our own. The Gorgeous Temple by the sea and the bamboo forest. We had a perfect day and weather. We really appreciated him dropping us off At Gamcheon Village so we could explore the shops and many colorful photo spots on our own at the end because we ran out of time. I would definitely recommend Jake 😊

5.00Our day with Mia was the highlight of our trip. Could not have asked for a better day. Mia made our day really special. We had a fabulous lunch at her suggestion and then continued on our adventure. We could have never negotiated the fish market without her help and we had a truly amazing experience trying new things. Loved the entire day, again thank you Mia for taking such great care of us!
Busan is good

5.00Our private tour with Daisy was great. She was informative and friendly. She picked us up from the cruise terminal on time. We visited a private Bamboo forest, Haedong Yonnggung Temple and the Gamcheong Village and had a traditional Korean lunch. It was a wonderful tour. Our ship arrival date was changed due to bad weather, so a big thank you to Korea Go Tours company for great communication and for being flexible with the date change in the short amount of time.
