South Korea Adventure

Day 1

South Korea Tour-Day 1 – Seoul: Get ready to start your South Korea adventure tour by meeting your guide and group at the hostel in the afternoon! Listen to a pre-departure brief as you find out everything you need to know about your trip. This is also an opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers over dinner which is a feast of Korean barbecue food – enjoy! After a delicious meal, make your way to the top of Namsan Mountain, where you can admire spectacular views of Seoul lit up at night. Recognised as the most popular location in Seoul for couples, wander through the "padlocks of love" locked at the base of Seoul N Tower, representing visitors' endless love! If you want an even better view of the city, you can head to the top of the Seoul N Tower. Later, hop on public transport back to the district of Hongdae where your accommodation is. Enjoy some time to stroll around and explore the hip area or get an early night ready for your first full day tomorrow!

Day 2

**Day 2 – Seoul:** Today, you will visit the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Climb aboard a bus, taking you an hour north of Seoul to Imjingak, where you'll have the chance to grab some breakfast. Pay a visit to Dora Observatory where you can see the nearest North Korean villages through binoculars. If you're lucky, you might even see some people in the streets. Next, descend into the 3rd Tunnel created by North Koreans, taking you as close as 170m to North Korea! After, you will begin your journey back to Seoul and make the most of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to talk to a North Korean defector. Back in Seoul, try out a K-Pop Dance Class and then enjoy a night out in Hongdae, best known for its endless restaurant and bar options.

Day 3

**Day 3 – Seoul:** Today, you'll wake up nice and early for a day exploring the ancient side of Seoul. Hop on the metro to Gyeongbokgung Palace where you'll have the chance to watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, before entering the palace itself. You can even do so in a hanbok (traditional Korean clothes) to get that additional historical experience! After, make your way to Bukchon Hanok Village, passing by the Blue House (South Korea's White House) on the way. This was the official residence of South Korean Presidents until being recently opened to the public. You'll then be given time to explore Korea's capital at your leisure. While your guides will have plenty of suggestions, you may wish to keep exploring the delights of Bukchon Hanok Village and Insadong Art Street before escaping the hustle and bustle of the city with a walk down the Cheonggyecheon stream, an area of tranquility and relaxation restored during an urban renewal project. If you're after something more modern, a trip to the HiKR Ground might be in store – here, you can learn all about the K-wave, and even record your own music video! In the evening, you will have some free time to explore Seoul further, to find yourself something delicious to eat. Why not try grabbing food and drinks in the Euljiro/Itaewon area?

Day 4

**Day 4 – Seoul & Sokcho:** Check out of your accommodation and depart to Sokcho, in the north-eastern part of the country. Arrive at Seoraksan National Park in the late morning and embark on a hike to Ulsanbawi Rock for spectacular views. For those looking for a less challenging hike, you can hike the well-signed waterfall trail and board a cable car to another peak. Refuel with some lunch back at the entrance of the park before taking the bus to Sokcho town. Here, you'll travel on a gatbae to cross the river to Abai, a small village formed by North Korean refugees. In the evening, enjoy a dinner with the rest of the group in and around the local fish markets. We'd recommend one of the most famous Korean fried chicken restaurants in the area, Manseok, known for its sticky sweet and sour boneless fried chicken. Then this evening, you're in for a treat – with a traditional liquor tasting!

Day 5

**Day 5 – Gyeongju:** Prepare to set off early as you take the bus along the East Coast to the former capital Gyeongju. Along the way, K-Pop enthusiasts will get to stop off and take a picture at Jumunjin Bus Stop, better known for featuring as the artwork to one of BTS' releases. Once you arrive in Gyeongju, prepare for an afternoon exploring by bike! First up, explore Cheonmachong Ancient Tombs, part of the Daereungwon Tomb Complex in Tumuli Park. Then, make your way to Cheomseongdae, the oldest existing astronomical observatory in East Asia. Want to experience authentic Korean food? Have dinner at Dosol Maeul, a local restaurant serving traditional Korean set meals in an equally authentic environment! Later, why not take a stroll around to Anapji Pond for some amazing nighttime views of the palace? Be sure to pack your cameras because the lights are stunning!

Day 6

**Day 6 – Gyeongju:** Enjoy a free morning in Gyeongju ahead of your temple stay later on. Perhaps you could start the day early with a visit to Bulguksa Temple, a UNESCO World Cultural Site, try out a tea house, visit Gyeongju Museum, or explore the Old Town. Otherwise, you could take the opportunity to have a lie-in! Grab a bite to eat for lunch in the city before transferring to Golgulsa Temple, where you'll experience an overnight temple stay. Upon arrival, check into the temple and start the afternoon's activities with a meditation class. Afterwards, try out the traditional arts Sunmudo and take part in the evening chanting service before sitting down to enjoy a simple Buddhist dinner of vegetables, rice, and fruit with the other temple visitors.

Day 7

**Day 7 – Busan:** Wake up with the sunrise and take part in the morning chanting service and meditation, followed by starting the day right with a traditional breakfast. After a relaxing morning, take the bus and make your way to Gyeongju station where you'll start your journey to Busan via high-speed train. Arrive quickly at your destination and board a privately hired bus to take you around for the day, starting with the unmissable Gamcheon Culture Village. Hop back aboard your bus and head down to Songdo where you will board the Marine Cable Car and take in the impressive coastal views. Following this, you will make your way to BIFF Square in Nampo-dong, home to the annual Busan International Film Festival, where you can try a variety of food options from local street vendors (but why not go for a Busan hotteok seeing as you're in town?). Finally, head to your hostel in Haeundae where you will be given the evening to relax and unwind, or explore the town at your own leisure.

Day 8

**Day 8 – Busan:** Head out for a day exploring Busan. First up, visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, a Buddhist temple nestled in the coastline's cliffs. Feeling in need of some more rejuvenation? You could head to Spa Land in Centum City, located in Busan's largest shopping complex! Make the most of South Korea's high-quality jjimjilbang while you're here and treat yourself to saunas, cold rooms, jacuzzis and more. Finally, enjoy the evening with your fellow travelers trying local delicacies. Once the sun sets, be sure to admire the light show on Gwangan Bridge from the shore or perhaps opt for an evening sightseeing boat cruise around the bay. Once you're back on dry land – try your hand at karaoke!

Day 9

**Day 9 – Busan:** Enjoy a free morning to explore Busan – venture out on your own, or take part in some of our suggested activities. For example, you might enjoy a trip on the coastal railway, the Haeundae Blueline. Alternatively, you can visit the observatory of the second-tallest building in Korea and take in the views, or embark on the Igidae Coastal Walk and Oryukdo Skywalk. You may even just opt for a relaxing morning on the beach! If you'd like to get one last dose of Korean culture in Busan, you could even try your hand at making the traditional staple, bibimbap, in a cooking class! Later, you will collect your belongings from the hostel and make your way to the airport where you'll catch a plane to Jeju Island. Once you've checked in at your accommodation in Seogwipo, feel free to spend your evening venturing into Olle Maeil Market or exploring the nightlife the city has to offer.

Day 10

**Day 10 – Jeju Island:** Wake up on the wonderful island of Jeju and head to Jjeongbang Waterfall. Start the day at the waterfall – the only one of its kind in Asia, this amazing natural wonder flows directly into the ocean. After this, you'll embark on a trek along the beautiful Jeju Olle Trail. Once the trek is completed, head to Seongsan Ilchulbong and enjoy a hike for some truly spectacular views across Jeju and out to sea. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a unique formation that was formed by hydrovolcanic eruptions over 5,000 years ago! Enjoy some time at the volcano, being sure to grab some photos, before you head to find something to eat. You will then return to the hotel in the early afternoon and enjoy some well-deserved rest time! If you'd like to relax in the accommodation you can – otherwise, you can grab your sunglasses and head to relax on the beach.

Day 11

**Day 11 – Jeju Island:** Make the most of your second morning in stunning Jeju by sailing out on a yacht to relax and enjoy the fresh sea air with your fellow Dragons. The afternoon is then free for your own exploration! Not sure what to do? Make sure to ask our Adventure Leaders for their recommendations. In the evening, kick back with a farewell barbecue dinner! Eat delicious food, watch the sun go down and if you want, party into the night by the seashore. Make the most of your time with your fellow travellers, as you'll be saying goodbye in the morning!

Day 12

**Day 12 – Jeju Island:** You've reached the last day of your South Korea tour and the end of your Dragon Trip adventure! You can head back to Seoul, explore the wonders of Jeju Island further, or continue with your travels elsewhere.
