Korea's Best Nami Island & Garden of Morning Calm Trip from Seoul
Description
Our Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm tour is created to take care of all the logistical details for you. All you need to do is enjoy! We will pick you up from your hotel in Seoul and drop you off after your tour is over. Our professional guide will ensure your comfort and convenience while answering any questions you may have! Your tour also includes transportation to each location as well as your Nami Island ferry and Garden of Morning Calm tickets. If you’re feeling adventurous, you’re welcome to take the Nami Island zip line across the Han River and board the ferry only on the way back. You’re guaranteed to get an adrenaline boost if you choose this option! Just be aware that the zip line tickets are purchased separately. Simply talk to your tour guide about it on the day if interested. We cover lunch as well and will stop by either an Amethyst or Ginseng Center on the way back to Seoul. Make sure to charge your camera, as there will be plenty of beautiful spots to see!
Tour Options
Itinerary
We offer free hotel pickup from selected Seoul hotels, or two easy downtown meeting points: Myeongdong Subway Station (Exit 9) and Seoul City Hall Subway Station (Exit 6). Please aim to arrive 10-15 minutes early to meet your friendly tour guide to account for any delays in finding your meeting point.
Stroll romantic tree-lined paths shaded by ginkgo, pine, and cherry trees. Rent a bike, photograph the iconic Metasequoia Lane, or enjoy outdoor performances. This half-moon-shaped island formed after the Cheongpyeong Dam raised the North Han River and is named after General Nami, a Joseon hero who defeated rebels in King Sejo's 13th year. All electric wires are buried underground to preserve the natural beauty. This peaceful island gained worldwide fame after the 2002 K-drama Winter Sonata.
Wander beautifully landscaped gardens bursting with seasonal flowers, serene lakes, and themed zones. Ride the sky lift for sweeping views or explore changing seasonal displays year-round.
Sample authentic Korean red ginseng tea and snacks while discovering its health benefits. Goryeo ginseng, cultivated slowly over six years, remains the world’s highest-quality variety.
Disembark in vibrant Myeongdong, Seoul's top spot for K-beauty, trendy fashion, and mouthwatering street eats. Explore Myeongdong Cathedral's elegant architecture, browse branded high-end stores, or savor classics like spicy tteokbokki and sweet hotteok.
Step off at Seoul City Hall for a mix of old and new Seoul. Admire the striking City Hall architecture, visit nearby Deoksugung Palace, pose at the famous “I SEOUL U” sign, or unwind by the plaza fountain amid lively events.

So happy we booked this tour! We were initially hesitant, because Seoul has so many wonderful places to explore. After visiting Nami and the Garden of morning calm, I can say without a doubt, we made the right choice. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever laid eyes upon, unique, aesthetically appealing, and peaceful. Both are great locations to commemorative time with family. Our tour guide, Max, was knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible, making our visit memorable. Highly recommended!!

Max was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us the best of Nami Island, took an incredible amount of family photos for us and provided us with so much useful information regarding the island’s history. He then took us to the Garden of Morning Calm. He has a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding the garden’s origins and again, was happy to take all of our family photos. We would highly recommend Max for this or any tour in Seoul!

Rose is an amazing tour guide! From the beginning of the trip, she shared super interesting information and gave the lay of the land. The tour was great too. Nami Island was beautiful and peaceful and the Garden of Morning Calm was full of gorgeous landscaping. The bus has A/C and it was a very comfortable ride. There are plenty of bathrooms and some food options along the way. Highly recommend!
