Mt Seorak and Naksansa - Love the experience from your local pickup near your hotel. Guided tour with Sheri that spoke English made the experience easy. Sheri thank you for recommending the waterfall hike and the gondola to the top of the mountain. The views are spectacular. I would like to go back soon. One more thing Nakansa Tempe has spectacular views from the coastline it’s a must visit spot.

Great day out! - Great day out that was well organised and can be as gentle as you need. We did the cable car at Mt Seorak and the views were amazing! The temple by Seoraksan had beautiful backdrop of the mountains. Naksansa Temple by the sea was windy and stunning. So many great vistas and relatively easy walking. The bus ride is 3 hrs so pack a snack for when you arrive and before you leave! Plenty of food options when you are at Mt Seorak for lunch.

This national park is a must - This tour was great you get a good time to see mount seorak. If you plan to reallly see the national park would recommend going by yourself. But if limited by time or have problems getting around would highly recommend this tour. Sheri was super nice and really informative would recommend her as your guide.

Seorak Mountain and Naksansa Temple in Winter - What a wonderful day tour in February! Our guide, Tino, was very good at providing information about the places, and also keeping the group on time. Seorak mountain has the highlight of the tour, with such amazing views. The stop at the temple was also very enjoyable. What an awesome tour!

#1 tour to book in South-Korea! - We loved going into this tour as a getaway from busy Seoul. This would be our number 1 recommendation to anyone visiting South-Korea. Our guide, Richard, was super cool and explained everything well. He made the experience extra fun!

Stunning views and fascinating temples - Excellent day out, visiting two stunning attractions. At Mount Seorak, you have plenty of time to explore, with a choice of hiking routes, steeper climbs, cable car and/or a leasurely wander around the temples. Views from the higher points are stunning and there are so many great photo opportunities. At the Naksansa Temple complex you can wander between temples and the stunning tall statue, sample the free tea, take in stunning sea views and wander on the beach. The coach is comfortable for the fairly long journey involved, with comfort stops along the way. A great way to get out of the city and see another region of South Korea.

Great adventure with a great guide! - Miss Bita was very pretty! She also did an amazing job showing how great the Seorak mountains and Naksansa temple are! Her being able to switch between English and Mandarin was very impressive would love to do another tour led by her!

Highly recommended, with a couple of minor tweaks - The trip completely fulfilled my desire to visit the national park easily and to see the temple. We had 3.5 in the park and were given 4 options of things we could do (by ourselves); a cable car to the top of Mount Seorak-dong, a visit to the temple and a choice of two walks both around 5k return, one more arduous. It was suggested we’d manage one walk and one other thing in the time. I managed the easier walk, temple and cable car with time to spare and I walk slowly( I didn’t go for lunch though). We were allowed 90 minutes at Naksana which I thought was too long, as I did both routes in 40. Everyone was back for the bus early. It’s a long day, but I’d recommend it definitely.

Little time stressful, but overall super nice - we were barely able to take the cable car because of time limitations. A lot of us from the group were a little annoyed because the trip is advertised with pictures from the top, but as our guide later explained it is not 100% safe that you are even able to go on top. I think that should be made clear beforehand! But otherwise it was a great experience. We also did the fairy rock walk. The temple was extremely pretty and our tour guide Julian was extremely nice :)!
