Do you pick us up from our Seoul hotel to Seoul Station?
We're sorry, but you'll need to make your own way to Seoul Station. We recommend the subway or a taxi; depending on your hotel location, a taxi to Seoul Station usually takes about 10–40 minutes. Please arrive at Seoul Station at least 30 minutes before departure.

What happens if I miss the KTX?
The KTX is a reserved-seat train, so once the departure time has passed the ticket can no longer be used and is non-refundable. You'll need to purchase an additional ticket for the next train at your own expense, and your tour time will be shortened by however late you arrive in Busan. We strongly recommend arriving at Seoul Station 30 minutes before departure.

If the KTX is delayed, your driver will wait according to your arrival time, and the tour will proceed as far as possible. However, force majeure situations such as KTX service suspensions or natural disasters will be handled according to the refund policy for the pre-paid KTX tickets.

A Great Choice If You Love Ocean Views
William Harrison, August 12, 2026

We chose this route because we wanted to experience Busan’s coastline rather than spend the whole day visiting indoor attractions. Haeundae and Cheongsapo gave us completely different views of the sea, and the coastal scenery was the highlight of the day. Weather makes a big difference, so I recommend checking the forecast before choosing your date. If you’re visiting Busan for the first time and enjoy photography, beaches and ocean scenery, this is a strong option.

Temple by the Sea
Michael Anthony Reed, August 7, 2026

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple was one of the most beautiful places we visited in Busan. The combination of traditional architecture, mountains, rocks and ocean views was amazing. It was very different from the city attractions and gave us a peaceful moment during our busy sightseeing day.

A Peaceful Escape Filled with Beauty and Blessings 🇰🇷🙏
MAE, August 2, 2026

One of the most memorable places we visited in Korea! The peaceful temple grounds, colorful lanterns, towering pagoda, and the smiling Buddha statue created such a calming atmosphere. It was the perfect place to slow down, admire the beautiful surroundings, and appreciate Korea’s rich culture and traditions.

A huge thank you to Nolja Korea for including this amazing destination in our itinerary. Everything was well-organized, and we had enough time to explore, take photos, and truly enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for a trip that combines culture, history, and breathtaking scenery, this is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Busan Is Even More Beautiful in Person
HARA DEVIER, July 28, 2026

BRYCER ANDRA, July 20, 2026

Our Busan trip was smooth, relaxing, and filled with unforgettable views—from the scenic sky ride overlooking the ocean to the beautiful yacht experience at sunset. Every stop was perfectly timed, and we never felt rushed.

A huge thank you to our driver for being so friendly, patient, and professional throughout the journey. Your recommendations and excellent service made this trip even more memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better travel experience. Highly recommended!

A Beautiful Temple Experience
QUEEN HUXLEY, June 27, 2026

We had such a wonderful time exploring this peaceful temple and its beautiful surroundings with NoljaKorea. The well-planned itinerary made the day easy and relaxing, giving us plenty of time to appreciate the traditional architecture, statues, and natural scenery. Everything was organized smoothly, and the experience felt both meaningful and enjoyable. We’re very happy with the trip and would definitely recommend NoljaKorea!

Busan in One Day Without Changing Hotels
Kyle Andrew Peterson, June 20, 2026

This was a great option for us because we were staying in Seoul but really wanted to see Busan. Taking the KTX made the journey surprisingly easy, and once we arrived, the private vehicle allowed us to visit several major attractions without wasting time figuring out local transportation. We visited Haedong Yonggungsa, Cheongsapo, Haeundae, Gamcheon Culture Village and BIFF Street. The day is quite full, so I recommend starting early and wearing comfortable shoes. Perfect for travelers who have limited time in Korea but don’t want to miss Busan!

Blue Skies and Haeundae Waves
Amber Nicole Warren, June 20, 2026

Haeundae was exactly the kind of coastal scenery we wanted to see in Busan. The wide beach backed by the city skyline gave us a completely different feeling from Seoul. We arrived early enough to enjoy the shoreline before the area became busier.
