Exciting 5-Hour Onboard Fishing Adventure
Customized
“A fantastic fishing experience!”
I highly recommend Dylan as a guide in Busan!! I live in South Korea and last month some family members visited me here. My nephews were really interested in fishing so I looked for English language fishing excursions but couldn't find any. I contacted Dylan and he was able to arrange a custom fishing trip for us. He picked us up at the hotel, drove to the harbor and accompanied us during the trip. It was incredible to work with Dylan. He always responded to me promptly, he was very professional and friendly, he learned everyone's names immediately, and he took care of the group really well. Thank you so much Dylan, we had a great time!!

“Awesome Busan”
We had a great time in Busan thanks to Dylan! He was historically knowledgeable and shared personal experiences as well. We requested a good Korean meat restaurant for lunch, and the food was delicious!! His fun and witty personality made our day an enjoyable one. We would like to make another trip to Busan someday and hopefully connect with Dylan again.
