One of the most beloved tours that has allowed countless tourists to explore the essence of Korea for decades!
Departing from two pick-up sites in Seoul, 14 hours of exploring the 3 most beautiful places in Korea lies ahead! Travel to Mt. Seorak, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm with your local tour guide.
Mt. Seorak, also known as Seoraksan, was designated a Natural Monument preservation area. In December 1973, it became a national park, and in August 1982, it was named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Unique rock formations and waterfalls create breathtaking views in Seorak.
Nami Island is famous for its romantic atmosphere, where the drama "Winter Sonata" was filmed. Enjoy walking paths lined with metasequoia, ginkgo trees, and cherry trees, as well as art installations at every corner.
The Garden of Morning Calm is popular among tourists for its serene, oriental beauty. It is filled with beautiful flowers and trees year-round—even during the Winter Light Festival.

5.00Took this tour with Ki. It was great to see beautiful, natural places outside of Seoul! The tour takes the whole day so be sure to bring water and snacks, wear comfortable shoes, but all worth it!

5.00Patrick was a great guide! He gave lots of good descriptions and was very helpful and knowledgeable. The weather wasn’t the best for seeing the mountains but the national park was still beautiful. Nami Island is pretty touristy but still cute. For us the highlight was the garden at the end of the day. Overall a great trip and I would definitely recommend.

5.00Such beautiful sights to see! It was an amazing day, Ki was an amazing host! So informative and really funny, he even made sure we could get the zip line across to the Island. This was one of my favourite days from our trip, it is a really full day and a tiring one but is so worth it for what you get to see and experience. Thankyou so much for an amazing time

Nature day from Seoul

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00A very well-planned day allowing us to observe the Seoraksan mountains and take a short hike to the Sinheungsa temple and the Heundeulbawi rock, followed by a shared meal with the other participants. After lunch, a ferry to reach Nami Island or a zip line for the more adventurous. Fabulous landscapes that served as backdrops for K-dramas, followed by a visit to the Morning Calm Garden 🤩🤩🤩. Certainly, there is a lot of travel time (5 hours in total), but when you are in Seoul and do not want to drive, it is a very good opportunity.
A Perfect Day Exploring Korea
