We took a bus from central Busan to the last stop at a place where we were approached by a man who asked us whether we wanted to take a boat trip around the park's coast. We agreed, and were driven to the port by a free-shuttle bus. From there, we took a boat ride around the southern tip of Busan. After the boat trip, we walked to the Park and explored it by foot and also took a train which runs around the park. Very interesting place to be, especially the views from the lighthouse.A lot of walking involved, so wear comfortable shoes!

We visited Udo Island in October 2016 and took the hop on hop off bus and got off at the first stop to climb up to the peak where the lighthouse was. The climb took about an hour and though there were steps and a well travelled path, it still required some physical effort. There were hardly any trees and you would be well advised to wear a hat and sun block. Wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes and bring plenty of drinking water. We climbed to the peak on a hot sunny day and had to stop a few times before we reached the lighthouse. The view was worth our effort. Then we climbed down to the surrounding park, which was basically grassland with minimal trees and hardly any shelter. There were lots of other tourists. We saw some horses grazing here and could see across to the mainland and sunrise peak as well as parts of Udo below. This is the most enjoyable part of UDO for us and highly recommended.

A great place to spend a spare hour or less. Go on a clear day, or better still at sunrise! Lovely 360deg views from the top. Climb is not too severe and child friendly.

An excellent destination for those who wish to explore the historical monuments around Seoul city. We reached the location taking a taxi from our hotel in Pangyo. Taxi dropped us at the visitor center. It was great relief to find an officer there who could speak fluent English language, who was extremely helpful in walking us through the entire map of the area and suggesting us the best trail. There was a map of the area in English as well. We took the trail that led to North Gate. From there to West Gate - South Gate and back to Visitor center. It took about 2.5 hours for us to cover this on an easy walk. Views from Seoul city around West Gate is just awesome. Palace was another attraction. Entire area is well maintained. I could also pursue my other hobby of Bird watching and photography. There are quite a lot of endemic birds that one could see during the walk. Getting a taxi from this location is quite challenging and the wait could be very long. The officer at the visitor center had suggested us to take bus from the location to Sanseong metro station and then take metro to reach hotel. This turned out to be a good option. Language being a challenge, we decided to take a cab from Sanseong metro station to hotel. One must tender exact cash as bus charges. Bus drivers do not carry change for refund. It was 1500 KRWs per person for travel from Namhansanseong to Sanseong Metro station. One must carry sufficient water and simple snack like biscuits before entering thee trail. We could not find any place on the trail for these. There are good number of restrooms and there is no matter of concern from this perspective.
