South Korea on Foot: Seoul to Jeonju
9
9 Days
Fairly EasyThis nine-day journey moves south from Seoul through national parks, folk villages, and mountain trails, ending with a night in a traditional hanok in Jeonju. The pace combines full hiking days with quieter cultural stops — a temple stay on Bukhansan, the Ulsan Rock course in Seoraksan, and the canyon trails of Jirisan. Private transport and an English-speaking guide keep the route structured and practical while the walking remains at the centre of the experience.
A private arc through Seoul to Seorak
7 7 Days Fairly EasyThis seven-day private journey moves from Seoul through the Baekje and Joseon heartlands, south to Busan, east through the Silla capital of Gyeongju, and back north via Andong and Mt. Seorak. The pace is full but considered — each day balances a significant historical site with something more sensory: a tea conversation with a monk, a walk through a living village, an early-morning fish market. It covers substantial ground without losing its sense of place. An English-speaking guide accompanies throughout, with hotel accommodation, most meals, and private transport included.
A private arc through South Korea | Seoul to Jeju
12 12 Days Fairly EasyThis twelve-day journey moves south through South Korea's most distinct landscapes and cities, from the density of Seoul to the volcanic coastline of Jeju. The route takes in the Demilitarized Zone, an overnight temple stay at Golgulsa, a cycling tour of Gyeongju's ancient tombs, and coastal Busan before a short domestic flight closes the distance to Jeju. English-speaking guides accompany the full journey, and the pacing leaves room for both movement and context.
Rivers of Spring: Yeongsan to Seomjin | A private cycling journey
6 6 Days LeisurelyThis route traces two of South Korea's great southern rivers — Yeongsan and Seomjin — across 300 kilometres of farmland, bamboo forest, mountain tea country, and coastal wetlands. The pace is unhurried. Each day ends somewhere worth staying. It is a river journey built around landscape, food, and the slower character of the south.
Namhae Island: Villages, Sea and Peaks
3 3 Days LeisurelyThis three-day trip moves between two distinct communities on Namhae Island — a coastal fishing village and a hillside farming settlement — with sea kayaking, a mountain ascent, and a night in each. The pace is unhurried but the days are full. Private transport from Seoul and a consistent guide keep the logistics clean, while the shape of the trip stays close to everyday life on the island.
Sanmani Trail: Jirisan Dulegil | Private Walking Tour
10 10 Days ModerateThe Jirisan Dulegil follows the foothills of Jirisan — Korea's first national park and, for centuries, a place of refuge during war and hardship. Rather than ascending to the summit, the route traces the lower paths once walked by the Sanmani, traditional mountain foragers who moved between villages, valleys, and markets carrying medicinal herbs and forest goods. The journey ends at Hwagae Market, where those same paths converge in a living, working marketplace. It is a compact walk with cultural weight, shaped as much by the people who used these paths as by the landscape itself.
