Seoul: DMZ with Optional Suspension Bridge & Gondola

Seoul: DMZ with Optional Suspension Bridge & Gondola

Embark on a thrilling journey to the DMZ, the world's most heavily militarized border, a poignant symbol of division between North and South Korea. Stretching 248 km, this buffer zone offers a unique perspective on the Korean Peninsula's history and geopolitics. You have the flexibility to join an affordable join-in tour with convenient meeting points at Myeongdong or Hongdae. Or with dedicated Seoul hotel transfers for a private tour. Our DMZ tour takes you to key landmarks, each with its own story. At Dora Observatory, on a clear day, you can gaze across the border into North Korea. Feel the tension and hope intertwined in this place, where the two Korea's stand face-to-face. If it is closed, this will be replaced with other place.Next, delve into the 3rd Tunnel, a clandestine passage discovered in 1978. Marvel at its scale - 1,635m long, 2m wide, and 2m high, capable of moving 30,000 soldiers per hour. Located just 52km from Seoul, this tunnel is a stark reminder of the region's turbulent past. The tour culminates at Dorasan Station, the last stop in South Korea, with Pyeongyang Station a tantalizing 205km away. Although currently closed, Dorasan Station symbolizes the hope for reunification. For an even more immersive experience, opt for the Gondola add-on. Glide over the Imjingang River, getting a closer look at North Korea before going back to Seoul. You can enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery in all four seasons by crossing the 150m swinging suspension bridge if you select suspension bridge option. This tour is more than just sightseeing; it's a journey through history, a testament to resilience, and a beacon of hope for a peaceful future. Join us and witness the DMZ's profound narrative unfold before your eyes. If you select Drop off for Cherry Blossom(only available on April), you can visit the park full of cherry blossoms. If you select Drop off at Silver Grass park(only available on Oct.), you can visit the park with Silver Grass for autumn season. Enjoy fall with DMZ!

Was definitely worth the experience, our guide Patrick was one of the happiest people I’ve ever met. He was very knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. The slope down to the tunnel is steep but definitely worth it.
