Highlights

- Seoraksan National Park - Seorak Mountain was named Seorak (‘Seol’ meaning ‘snow’ and ‘Ak’ meaning ‘big mountain’) because the snow would not melt for a long time keeping the rocks in a permanent state of white. In 1965, the Seorak Mountain district was designated as a Natural Monument preservation area. Afterwards in 1973, it was designated as a park preservation area, and in 1982, as a Biosphere Preservation District by UNESCO. The park is spread across 4 cities and counties: Sokcho, Inje, Goseong and Yangyang. The highest peak is Daecheongbong; to the east is OeSeorak and to the west is NaeSeorak, which is divided again into North NaeSeorak and South NaeSeorak. OeSeorak has many unique rock formations and waterfalls, including Ulsanbawi Rock, Gwongeumseong Fortress, Geumganggul Cave, Biryong Falls, Oryeon Falls, Togwangseong Falls and more. There are many hiking courses throughout the park with the most popular being the Biseondae-Madeungnyeong Course and Biseondae-Cheonbuldong-Daecheongbong Peak Course.

Great tour for hiking and nature, ask for Ki as your guide! - Long day, but totally worth it! This was a great package with multiple options for different levels of activity within your group. Ki, our guide went out of his way to accommodate everyone and ensure we all had a good time, and even sang for us! He was especially helpful in translating for me with a place I wanted to visit, and I am forever grateful. He is the ❤️ of Seoul.

A very enjoyable tour with cultural experience - Our group had Patrick for a whole day tour during our port stop in Sokcho. Patrick was very energetic and made our day so much fun. We learned a lot about the culture & food and saw some amazing views from Mt Sereoksan. Our bulgogi lunch was a feast for the tastebuds. The visits to Sokcho Tourist and Fishery Market and the temples were all a great experience. Patrick is a wonderful tour guide and I would highly recommend him.

Great day trip - Brilliant trip!!! That was my favorite day in Korea!
Our tour guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and informative. From the day before the tour we were sent all information we would need for the next day and on a tour day we were getting regular updates with the time we have in each location. He also spoke English fluently which made everything very simple.
The time allocated to each location was great and we didn’t feel rushed. While you would need at least couple of days to explore mountain area fully, we did have enough time to go up the mountain with cable car and enjoy the surrounding areas.
Nami island is fairly small so you go around that place pretty quickly and we had enough time to explore it all in about 1 hour and 30min.
We chose to opt in for rail bike option and while you can get stuck behind slow people, the scenery was beautiful and it was a very enjoyable activity.
Would definitely recommend this trip!
