Seoul to Sokcho

UNESCO–listed Mt. Seorak and Nami Island attract visitors keen to enjoy an up-close brush with nature in South Korea. On this full-day tour with round-trip travel from Seoul included, travel by air-conditioned minivan and ferry with your guide and hit the sites in comfort. Follow hiking trails around Mt. Seorak, stroll among native cherry and ginko trees on Nami Island, and embrace South Korea’s great outdoors.

This combination tour offers both time in nature and the city. First, travel to Seoraksan National Park and take a cable car to the peak of Gwongeumseong Fortress—the site of old castle ruins—at the top of a mountain. Then visit the fishing village of Sokcho, where you can visit a Teddy Bear Farm, hang out at Sokcho Beach, take a raft to a North Korean refugee village, and more.

Mt. Seorak lies near the eastern shores of South Korea, and offers some of the country’s finest local hiking routes—but reaching the peak from Seoul is a challenge. On this full-day tour, head to Mt. Seorak by air-conditioned vehicle and follow hiking trails to the summit. Visit the historic Naksansa Temple and enjoy sweeping views over the native forests, with round-trip travel from Seoul and entrance fees included.

Nami Island and Mt. Seorak rank among the most popular natural sites of interest outside Seoul, but reaching them by public transport is a challenge.

With entry fees plus pickup and drop-off in central Seoul included, experience the best of South Korea’s great outdoors with ease.

While palaces, markets, and shopping streets are - rightfully - at the top of everyone’s Seoul bucket list, immersing yourself in the country’s spectacular natural beauty should also be a priority. Discover Mount Seoraksan and its surrounding historical attractions on a private tour from Seoul. After arrival at Seoraksan National Park, take a cable car to Gweongeumseong Fortress, then visit Sinheungsa Temple. Alternatively, you can devote your entire park visit to hiking.
