What To Expect

1

DMZ

DMZ is demilitarized zone and a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea. The lines reach 248 km in length from Jeongdong-ri, Paju-si to Myeongho-ri, Goseong-gun. At the present time, an area within 2 km in both the north and south side is designated as the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). Excluding the DMZ, the overall area is considered to be the most heavily militarized region in the world.

2 hours • Admission Included
2

The Third Tunnel

The 3rd Tunnel was discovered by South Korea in 1978. It spans over 1,635m in length, 2m in width, and 2m in height and is located 52km from Seoul. It is estimated that approximately 30,000 soldiers could move through the tunnel per hour. The scale is similar to the 2nd Tunnel, but it was thought to be more threatening as an invasion tool than the 1st and 2nd Tunnels. Located only 4km away from Imjingak toward the southwest and 3.5km from the Tongilchon area, it is accessible by car in approximately 45 min from Seoul.

  • Strenuous walking but fantastic tour

    Please be on time for this activity. There are a lot of tourists in the bus and you need to be on time for the DMZ tickets which have strict time slots. Also, I would NOT recommend this tour for the slow elderly/disabled. There is a lot of strenuous hiking for 10 to 20 minutes throughout this tour. You don’t have to do the hiking, but then you miss out on the experience. Especially for the third tunnel, it is very steep down, and you have to walk the very steep incline back, around 350 meters in each direction. It is also slightly wet and slippery. Very amazing experience though. April (our tour guide) did a fantastic job of explaining the DMZ politics and culture.

    Our guide April was very attentive and the tour was very complete. If you travel in summer it is advisable to bring sun visor and water by the heat.

  • Good excursion but too expensive...
