Things to do in Hwangnyeongsan Mountain

An absolute must experience to do when in Busan. I joined this tour after reading so many great reviews particularly of how satisfied they were with our Guide, David. He said he loves his job hence he takes care all of his customers very well and I totally agree because he also knows what he's doing to create such an appealing evening tour showcasing some of the beautiful parts of Busan.

The tour was very well-organized and refreshing. I especially enjoyed visiting the Gamcheon Cultural Center at night. It was a great way to experience the place without the usual crowds, and the cooler evening weather made it much more comfortable and less humid. The observatories we visited were amazing as well. The views were truly breathtaking, and honestly, pictures would not do them justice. Seeing the scenery in person was a completely different experience. I would also like to commend our guide, Hayden, for being very considerate, polite, and attentive throughout the tour. He was always mindful of our comfort and made sure that everyone was doing well. He also speaks very good English, which made communication very easy. It was nice to have continuous conversations with him, as he was friendly, engaging, and easy to talk to. He takes good pictures too. Overall, it was a refreshing and enjoyable tour.

This tour is the highlight of our Busan trip! Hug-you our guide is very informative and fun! he even surprised us with Peanut bread and Ginseng tea when we reach the top of the observatory. overall experience is excellent! would recommend this tour 100% and would do it again when we come back! The view is amazing!

I had a great experience on this Geumjeongsan hiking tour and would definitely recommend it! I’m glad that the tour still went ahead even though I was the only participant that day. The hike was manageable overall, with a few steeper sections (great workout!). The views from the guard posts were absolutely breathtaking, and from the top you get an amazing bird’s-eye view of Busan. Lunch was also a treat — the bibim naengmyeon was delicious and hit the spot after the hike. The highlight of the tour was definitely the guide, Doyour. He was super chill, engaging, and easy to talk to. It was nice meeting someone my age — a "chinggu" as they say in Korea! He made what could have been a tiring solo hike feel fun, relaxed, and memorable. Thanks for a wonderful day in Busan!

We completed our tour with Kay today and she is very caring and attentive to our family during the entire trip. She was on time, communicative, friendly and warm, and informative. Even after she dropped us off for dinner, she ensure that we are in good hands and remain satisfied. She took care of us and our baby like her own family. We will always remember our trip with her. Irene is also very communicative since I booked the trip. She always keep me updated of anything that needs attention or confirmation of the plan. Honestly all and all this tour is well organized and highly recommend this for your next busan trip!

Considering it was a 24-hour period, I thought about various courses. In the end, I used the pass from 2 PM until 2 PM the next day. First thing in the morning, I went to Gamcheon Culture Village → Huinnyeoul Culture Village → Arte Museum (pass activated) → Songdo Marine Cable Car. The next day, I got off at Songjeong, the final stop, via the Beach Train → I went to Skyline Luge, but there was a huge line, so I took a taxi back from Songjeong to Haeundae via the Beach Train → X the Sky (pass deactivated). Looking back, I think it might have been better to go to a spa in Centum City at the end of the first day. For all the attractions covered by the pass, you have to complete the reception process, but except for the Beach Train, the signs were easy to understand, and many of the staff spoke Japanese. The Beach Train had a huge line after 9 AM. The queuing system was a bit confusing. The leftmost line on the first floor was for tickets. Despite the long line, it moved smoothly, and I was able to get a reservation for 10:45 AM. You can get off the Beach Train multiple times along the way, but you have to wait for the next train, so please be mindful of your schedule. It's a bit worrying not knowing how crowded places will be until you get there. For places you absolutely don't want to miss, I recommend going first thing in the morning!

very nice view. not many sauna room as compared to spa land. but the water park is a nice add on.

Most hotels in Busan only allow check-in after 5 PM. We arrived at Busan Airport at 7 AM after taking a midnight flight, so we had to think of activities to do in the city before checking into our hotel. That's how we found Centum City SpaLand. We bought tickets online and decided to relax there first. This place is located inside a large shopping mall, right next to a city subway station, and has its own separate entrance (remember to look for the independent entrance; don't try to enter through the mall, as it only opens at 11 AM). Inside, there are separate areas for men and women, with pools of various temperatures. If you're interested, you can try the 'ice and fire' experience to relax your tired body. There are also many sauna-like rooms, including rock salt rooms and ice rooms, where you can sit or lie down as you please – there's definitely a room for everyone. Other amenities include a snack area, a large relaxation area where you can surf the internet and watch TV, and, most uniquely, a restaurant that offers DIY ramen. For one price, you can choose a packet of instant noodles from many varieties, and they provide a noodle cooker, side dishes (kimchi, bean sprouts, sausages, cheese, etc.), and seasonings. Guests can cook their own ramen, and once finished, it tastes a bit like Korean army stew – very interesting! We spent several hours here. It was our first 'attraction' and first experience in Busan. The admission and expenses were not high, so we highly recommend giving it a try!
