I had an amazing trip with Ki! He was a fantastic guide - friendly, knowledgeable and his English is very good, which made communication easy and enjoyable. Even though it was raining heavily when we arrived at Nami Island, the scenery was still absolutely beautiful. The rain didn’t stop us from enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and taking in the stunning views. Spending the day with Ki was a great experience and he made everything smooth and fun. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to have a memorable trip!

Full description

Experience the breathtaking natural beauty of Korea in a single day with our comprehensive tour. Departing from Seoul, our first stop is the majestic UNESCO-listed Seoraksan Mountain. Immerse yourself in the serene ambiance of unique rock formations and lush trees, and visit the historic Shinheungsa Temple nestled within. If the weather permits, a cable car ride will take you to the summit, offering a panoramic view of the landscape.
Mt. Seorak offers a variety of trails to suit all levels of hikers. During the autumn leaves season, we'll guide you through the Osaek (Jujeongol) course, a beginner-friendly trail that showcases the vibrant colors of the season. After a brief orientation, you'll have free time to explore at your own pace.
Next, we'll whisk you away to Nami Island, a haven of natural beauty and countless photo opportunities. This tranquil island boasts a variety of scenic walkways, each offering a unique perspective of the surroundings.
Our final destination is the meticulously curated Garden of Morning Calm, which is a testament to the natural beauty of Korea, its oriental mystique, and the spirit of the Korean people. Its design emphasizes curves, spaces, and asymmetric balance, expressing classic elegance and charm. This place is popular among tourists for its natural beauty and light festival during winter, as well as other seasons.
The tour concludes with a drop-off at either Dongdaemun History & Culture Park station or Myeongdong station for Group Tours or dedicated hotel transfers for Private Tours, offering you the flexibility to continue your evening as you wish.
