South Korea Adventure

Welcome to South Korea! Enjoy a high-energy Taekwondo class this afternoon, then go to Namsan Mountain to admire the city's twinkling lights and see the iconic 'love padlocks' at the base of N Seoul tower - cuuute! This evening, enjoy a welcome meal in Myeongdong with the rest of your group.

Head to Gyeongbokgung Palace early to watch the changing of the guard before a free afternoon in the city. Optional activities include a visit to Bukchon Hanok, Insadong Art Street and Gangnam District.

Take a bus to the Demilitarised Zone. We'll visit Dorasan 'ghost' Station, Dora Observatory, and the 3rd tunnel, before chatting to a North Korean defector. Back in Seoul, try a K-Pop dance class before dinner in funky Hongdae.

Escape to the mountains outside of Seoul, getting ready for a special once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Tonight we'll be staying at an authentic working temple, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the rural beauty of South Korea. Witness the traditional Dharma drum and Ringing of the Bell ceremony, then switch off with our singing bowl meditation session. Enjoy a peaceful evening falling asleep to the tranquil sounds of nature.

You're welcome to attend the Buddhist ceremony at dawn this morning. After breakfast, we'll say goodbye to the temple life and move onwards to Seoraksan Mountain, aka one of South Korea's most stunning national parks. Hit up the hiking trails or soak in the views with a cable car ride to the top - the choice is yours! Later this afternoon, learn all about Sokcho's local history as you explore Abai Village.

This morning we will return to Gyeongju and take a cycling tour through its beautiful Old Town and fascinating collection of tombs, temples and parks. Enjoy a traditional Korean dinner tonight, followed by a night stroll around the enchanting Anapji Pond.

This morning, we will hop on a bullet train to busan. Head to Songdo Beach, where you'll ride the Marine Cable Car before an afternoon in the uber-hip BIFF Square entertainment and shopping area in Nampo-dong in Busan.

You've got another day to enjoy this vibrant city. Visit South Korea's most beautiful temple - the Haedong Yonggungsa Temple - which is famous for its unique cliffside vistas and spiritual roots. Enjoy a free afternoon for more Busan adventures, or join an optional trip to the sophisticated Spa Land: where Jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouse) culture meets modern luxury. Try the local delicacies and admire the Gwangan Bridge light show after the sun has set, or opt for a sightseeing boat cruise. We'll end the night with Noraebang - aka Korean karaoke booths! Which song is your go-to?

Enjoy another free morning, so if you want to ride the coastal Haeundae Blueline railway, visit Busan's famous observatory or go for a scenic stroll down the Igidae Coastal Walk or Oryukdo Skywalk, the choice is entirely yours! Before we make our way to the stunning Jeju Island, opt in for a bibimbap cooking class! After a short internal flight, you will have all evening to explore Jeju's sensational Seogwipo Olle Market for fresh seafood, sweet oranges (a Jeju special) and the best street food on the island!

This tropical island is nicknamed the "Hawaii of Korea" after its cascading waterfalls, emerald cliffs and craters, secret forests and ocean waves that are made for surfing! It's the perfect comparison. This morning we visit the legendary Jjeongbang Falls, before trekking the Jeju Olle Trail: named as one of the world's top 10 coastal walks. Our journey carries up to Seongsan Ilchulbong for the best vistas of Jeju. After all that exploration, enjoy a lazy afternoon on Jeju's gorgeous beaches.

What better way to enjoy your second morning in Jeju than by sailing out on a yacht? Between the irresistible scenery, the ocean breeze and the friendly company, this boat tour is a real highlight! The entire afternoon is free for you to explore Jeju's wild variety of activities - from woodland retreats to a soothing tea museum and more. Kick back this evening for a farewell barbecue dinner, and if you want to, discover Jeju's exciting nightlife!

Your incredible adventure in South Korea with us has come to an end on Jeju Island. Swap numbers with your new friends and say your goodbyes.
