Itinerary

When does my tour start? This is a private tour and the tour time will be set to fit in with your arrival time. When do I return to port after my tour/excursion? The tour is 4 hours in length so you will be returned in plenty of time for your cruise ship departure.All tour times are based on Shore time (i.e. local time, - not ship time)

This is a Private Tour

You will be met by a Cruising Excursions representative at the cruise port, the representative will be holding a sign with the Cruising Excursions logo and the customer's name.

On this half day excursion, you will see two major tourist attractions of Busan. Your first stop will be Beomeosa temple, one of the largest temples in all of Korea. It was founded in 678 AD by Great Monk Uisang. The temple is home to many ancient relics, each with their own unique and fascinating history. Don't be surprised to find yourself almost at peace with yourself as you step through the temples entrance, known as Ilchumun Gate. The One Pillar Gate indicates the boundary between the spiritual world of the temple and the secular world outside. There are several within the temple complex, including Pagodas and a main temple hall, so there will be plenty of time to explore this historical site.

After your tour of the temple you will stop at the Lotte Department store & have the opportunity to watch the beautiful Aquatic show as well as have some free time for shopping.

At the end of the tour you will be returned back to the port in plenty of time to meet your ships departure.

Itinerary:

  • Depart from the ship to Beomeosa Temple
  • Tour of Beomeosa Temple
  • Move to Lotte Department store at Gwangbok St.
  • Go up to the observatory for a view around the Lively & Beautiful Busan. (The department store is closed on Mondays)
