Wandering through Nami Island

Step into a living fairy tale where towering trees form cathedral-like arches over winding paths. Nami Island isn’t just famous for its K-drama romance—it’s a place where the air hums with quiet magic. Stroll along the riverbank, rent a bike to explore hidden groves, or simply sit by the water and watch the leaves dance in the breeze. Every season dresses the island in a new mood, but the peace it offers is timeless.

Unveiling Petite France

Tucked into the hills, this pastel-hued village feels plucked straight from a French storybook. Cobblestone streets lead to quaint cafés, a mini Eiffel Tower stands sentinel over the valley, and every corner hides a whimsical surprise—like a puppet theater or a garden of oversized flowers. It’s the kind of place where you half-expect to bump into Amélie around the next bend. Don’t leave without trying a buttery croissant or snapping a photo in the vibrant phone booths.

Experiencing Alpaca World

Prepare for your heart to melt. At this cozy farm, curious alpacas trot up to greet you with soft hums and velvety noses. Feed them by hand, snap selfies with their fluffy charm, or just laugh as they nibble carrots from your palm. There’s something deeply joyful about standing in a sunlit field, surrounded by these gentle creatures—it’s a simple pleasure that stays with you long after you’ve said goodbye.

Unveiling Gangchon Rail Park

Adventure takes center stage as you hop onto a rail bike and pedal through tunnels blooming with murals and over bridges framed by mountains. The route winds along an old train track, offering glimpses of the glittering Han River below. With the wind in your hair and the thrill of the ride, it’s impossible not to feel like a kid again. The best part? The sense of accomplishment when you coast into the final station, already plotting your next visit.

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the heart of this breathtaking destination—where every detail is designed to delight, inspire, and leave you with stories to cherish. From the moment you arrive until your reluctant farewell, we’ve woven together comfort, culture, and a few special surprises just for you.

• Seamless private transfers—because the adventure should begin the moment you land. A warm smile and a cool drink will greet you at the airport, whisking you away in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. No waiting, no hassle, just the first taste of the hospitality that awaits.
• Handpicked accommodations that feel like a home away from home. Whether it’s a boutique hotel tucked into a cobblestone alley, a lakeside lodge with views that steal your breath, or a historic guesthouse where the walls hum with stories, each stay is chosen for its charm, character, and connection to the local spirit.
• Daily breakfasts bursting with flavor, where fresh fruit, warm bread, and regional specialties introduce you to the tastes of the land. Some mornings, you’ll dine with a view—perhaps overlooking terracotta rooftops or misty mountains—while others might find you sipping spiced coffee in a sun-drenched courtyard.
• A half-day with a local guide who doesn’t just recite facts but shares their passion. Whether it’s a historian unraveling ancient myths in a whisper-quiet temple or a food lover leading you through a hidden market, their insights will turn sights into experiences. Ask them anything—they’re yours for the day.
• Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the ordinary. Maybe it’s a private taiko drumming lesson in a rural village, a weaving demonstration with artisans whose craft has been passed down for generations, or an evening of storytelling under the stars with a community elder. These are the moments that linger long after you’ve returned home.
• A "Taste of the Region" dining experience, where you’ll gather around a table laden with dishes prepared just for your group. Think slow-cooked stews simmered with local spices, just-caught seafood grilled over open flames, or delicate pastries dusted with edible flowers—all paired with wines or teas that sing of the soil they came from.
• Your own custom travel journal and map, waiting in your first hotel room. Jot down memories, sketch the landscapes that move you, or tuck in ticket stubs and pressed flowers. It’s a small but meaningful way to hold onto the magic—long after your tan fades.
• Little luxuries along the way—because travel should feel indulgent. A basket of seasonal fruit in your room. A handwritten note with a local recommendation slipped under your door. Even a surprise picnic on a day when the light is just right. We believe it’s the unexpected touches that make a trip unforgettable.

And One More Thing...

We’ve also built in flexible free time—because we know the best discoveries often happen when you’re left to wander. Linger in that café with the perfect people-watching spot. Strike up a conversation with a fisherman mending his nets. Or simply sit on a quiet bench and let the world unfold around you. This is your journey, after all.
