(General Information) Starting from your hotel in Seoul, we will have approximately 3 hours-drive to the Eastern side of Korea, where you can enjoy a beautiful mountain and sea. These places are called Mt. Seorak & East Sea. (1) Mt. Seorak : Mt. Seorak has been known as one of the most beautiful mountains in Korea. From its irregular shapes with rocky landscapes all over the mountain range, this mountain is said to have 1,000 aspects of beauty. Therefore it is also called as a 'Gorgeous Lady' mountain. Because of its beauty and the preservation of the endangered species, this mountain is registered as one of the representative national parks in Korea, and also as UNESCO's Biosphere Reserve. In this place, you can enjoy the beautiful mountain views by hiking, or riding a cable car. The route for the cable car is out of the hiking trails, so you can enjoy different aspects of beauty of Mt. Seorak. Also you can check out a big Buddha statue of Shinheungsa temple, and can go for Dojang, which is the only taoist temple in Korea that accepts outsiders in. (2) East Sea : This sea is located on the point that cold & hot currents meet in harmony, therefor, has abundant amount of seafood. It has also good reputation for the clean water and enjoyable places. Around this sea, you can go for the beach, Sea Garden cafe, a beautiful pavilion at the sea, Light-house on the hill for great view, beautiful temple by the sea, fishery port, and central market.

Screen golf is huge in Korea. You may not see it, but on every street corner there is at least 1 screen golf zone here. And the technology is sophisticated behind them. If your handicap is such and such on the real field, you can bet your handicap will be pretty similar in screen golf. With screen golf, we can play even when the weather doesn't permit. That's how crazy we are for golf in this country. We will spend about 3 hours playing screen golf and we can have lessons or we can just play. It's up to you! *Please message me before booking"

After a hotel pickup from your hotel, you will travel to Nami Island. It is situated 6.3km from Seoul in the middle of the Han River. Nami Island is a place for rest and relaxation. Human beings, animals and trees share peace, love and harmony far away from crowds and civilization. You can have a wide variety of different cuisines and dining experiences in this island. After Lunch, we then continue to travel to Petite France, a French Culture Village. Also you can mix and match Petite France with other tour sites in the area like Jade Garden, Garden of the Morning Calm or Gangchon Railbike. Also if you have time, ask your driving guide to take you to Dumulmeori, one of the most beautiful scenery of Korea. You have to take a different route and most drivers will want you to bypass it to save time. But for a 20 minute detour, it's worthwhile the breathtaking views.
