4-Hours Hiking and Tasting Rice Wine in the Mountain of Busan
Description
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.

It is a really pleasing outing in the nature, with a nice panoramic view and some delicious traditional food and Makgeolli. Thabk you HugYou for this amazing experience!
For this experience, John was my hiking guide - he was very knowledgeable about the area that we were hiking in and he was also extremely personable! I appreciated that he offered to take multiple photos of me in various places on the mountain so that I could have them as a keepsake. John went above and beyond as my guide and even guided me back to the subway after the activity had concluded. Thank you John!
The hike was chill, no views due to cloudy day but the trip ended with amazing food that made it worth it 😋 Guide was fun to hang out with too!
Amazing guide! Pickup point was a little far from where we were staying but the bus pickup to take us to the mountain was right there. great hike in busan and lunch cooked by an auntie in the village with great vibes, paired with some makgoelli in the village where one of the last grand masters brews.
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!
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.
Very nice hike, we learn a lot of things. Our guide was very friendly and talked to us with everything from the history of the site to Korean culture topped off with a lovely lunch and some traditional liquor!
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.
I had such a great time both during the hike and the well-earned (and delicious) lunch that followed it! Stunning views, great company and a what an introduction to the world of Korean rice wine; getting to sample some local makgeolli :-) 10/10
