Must do on a clear and sunny day - 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!

Great excursion away from the tourists - 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.

Authentic, away from tourists tour - This is a little gem of a tour, away from the crowds of tourists. It starts by catching a local bus from the meeting point (Tmoney card needed). The tour guide was responsive, calm and friendly. The short but hilly hike in the woods was invigorating. The scenery is just gorgeous. The lunch spot is an authentic tent cafe where Koreans come to eat, cooked by a lady who grows her own veg.
