Mt. Seoraksan and Nami Island are the few places in Korea that you should definitely visit most especially during autumn. Will surely come back!

It was a very good one-day trip👍🏻 There are many people watching the maples in autumn. Fortunately, the tour guide Kelvin made adjustments to the itinerary so that we had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos! And the tour guide can speak Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about communication problems ☺️ Seoraksan National Park is very beautiful, and there are many restaurant options. The only thing to note is that after taking the cable car, you still have to climb a bit to get to the mountain. Natural Garden was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was nothing special about the cafe, but the environment was very comfortable and the photos were beautiful. There were also many locals who drove here specially to chat and relax ~ Finally, I would like to thank Kelvin again for his arrangement and cooperation throughout the day. Have wonderful memories 🫶🏻

We had such an amazing nature filled day visiting Mt Seorak, Nami Island and the Garden of Morning Calm. Our tour guide Ki was so knowledgeable, and made the experience so enjoyable! The tour was spaced out well in which we had an adequate time to spend at each of the 3 places, and allowed us to catch up on our sleep from the early wake up hehe :) Thank you very much Ki!!

We had a really fabulous time in Seoraksan, Nami Island, and Garden of Morning Calm. Our guide Ki was particularly excellent - very attentive, knowledgeable, funny, and eager to help. Personally I think Nami was skipable and would recommend Seoraksan and the Garden only, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the tour and more the quality of the site itself. Getting to these spots during fall foliage season was a particular highlight, super beautiful. Would very much recommend this tour!
