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.

5.00Escaping the city for this tour was a great call, covering Mt. Seorak, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm in one efficient trip. Our guide, Patrick, was friendly, personable, and organized; he even pointed us toward a lunch spot that was easily the best Korean BBQ I’ve had all trip. It’s a long day, but the scenery makes it worth the time. Pro-tip: the initial drive is about 2.5 hours, so use that time to sleep in the bus so you’re ready to hit the trails when you arrive. With all the logistics and entrance fees sorted, it was a smooth, stress-free day that I’d definitely recommend.
Awesome experience across South Korea

5.00Ki is wonderful guide. He made some amendment in the original itirenary with a visit to the morning calm is not worth it due to the flowers are not in bloom yet. He is very honest, polite and full of knowledge. Thank Ki for showing us this side of Korea
