Overview

This 14-hour day trip departs from Seoul, with pick-up available at Hongik University Station Exit 8 or Myeongdong Station Exit 4. Transportation is provided in a shared air-conditioned minivan. An English-speaking guide and driver accompany the group throughout the tour. The first stop is Seoraksan National Park, a protected natural monument and national park since 1973, also designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Visitors spend about two hours and forty-five minutes here, exploring rock formations, waterfalls, and Shinheungsa Temple. There is an option to hike or take the cable car to higher areas; cable car fees are not included. During the fall foliage season, from October 20 to November 4, the tour visits Jujeongol Valley for hiking instead of using the cable car. Next, the tour proceeds to Nami Island, where visitors spend two and a half hours walking along tree-lined paths featuring metasequoia, ginkgo, and cherry trees. The ferry ticket to access the island is included. Art installations are located throughout the island. The final stop is the Garden of Morning Calm, a private garden opened in 1996 that reflects Korean natural beauty and traditional aesthetics. Visitors spend about seventy minutes exploring the garden, which is open year-round and hosts a winter light festival. Entrance tickets for Mt. Seorak, Nami Island (including ferry), and the Garden of Morning Calm are included. Meals, beverages, cable car fees at Mt. Seorak, and zip-wire tickets at Nami Island are not included. Travel times between destinations are not included in the listed durations and may vary due to traffic and weather conditions.
