The early bird booking got a super high CP value. Although it rained that day in Seorak Mountain🌧️🥶 and it was impossible to climb up to see the waterfall due to road maintenance and closure, the maple red was only a little bit red. This is the second time I went to Nami Island this year. The weather was cool. This time I had four hours to explore and circled the entire island twice..🤣🤣.. Get on the bus at 6 o'clock in the morning and get off again. It’s already eight o’clock in the evening. It’s been a lot of fun..👍👍

I was grateful that they offered a tpur that started at 4am to avoid the crowd. We were able to follow the itinerary on time, so we had ample time to go for a hike. Tom too was a very friendly tour guide and a great driver. Thank you!

I availed the Mt. seorak + Nami + railbike itinerary and I enjoyed the tour so much, though it was raining in Mt. seorak we still manage to have a good experience. Nami island is in peak autumn foliage, the colors of autumn were very scenic/picturesque, kdrama feels. Gapyeong railbike is a good experience too. The tour guide is good.
