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.

FIVE STARS!!!!! Regardless of the drizzling rain, our tour guide Eva and driver Dragon provided the group of 8 an unforgettable and safe time. Eva was truly an ambassador for her country's hidden gems, foodie eats, and Instagram photo spots plus went greatly out of her way to capture all of the day's memories. Would definitely book again and not even hesitate to look for the same tour operators.

We had an amazing time with Eva as our guide and Dragon as our driver. We learned so much about the Garden of Morning Calm and its architect. We also appreciated its nature and beauty. We also got to enjoy our time on Nami Island where Eva talked about the tv shows filmed there as well as the island’s history. She also went above and beyond by taking some beautiful pictures of us in front of different landmarks. We recommend Eva and Dragon 200%!
