Frequently asked questions
Which pick-up point should I choose?
Select whichever of the three Busan stations is closest to your accommodation — KTX Busan Station, Seomyeon Station, or Haeundae Station. The drop-off at the end of the day follows the same three options, though the order differs from pick-up.
Which seasonal schedule should I book?
Choose the October–March schedule if your visit falls between those months, and the March–September schedule for the summer period. The later start time in summer reflects longer daylight hours and keeps the Wolji Pond visit timed for dusk.
Is lunch included?
Lunch is not included in the tour price. The itinerary allows time to eat near Yangdong Folk Village, where local restaurants are available. Bring cash or a card for this.
Can children join the tour?
Yes. Children under 3 years old are admitted free of charge, though no seat will be reserved for them on the vehicle.
Will the itinerary definitely follow this schedule?
The sequence and timings are subject to change due to traffic and weather conditions. The sites visited remain the same, but arrival and departure times may shift slightly on the day.
Do I need to print my ticket?
A mobile ticket shown on your phone is sufficient. Printed tickets are also accepted if you prefer.
