Detailed tour plan travel

Jeju Island

3 days

Jeju Island — the pearl of Korea, where volcanoes meet the ocean and the landscapes look straight out of a K-drama.

It's a place of peace and inspiration: tangerine groves, tea plantations, waterfalls and a warm sea. Here you'll want to breathe deeper, dream bolder and live brighter.

What awaits you
Tea plantation

Gentle slopes covered with tea bushes — everything here breathes calm and the aroma of freshly brewed tea.

Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff

Massive hexagonal basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity. Waves crashing against the rocks and a sense of nature's power make this one of the most impressive places on the island.

Location: Alpaca farm

A charming farm where guests can interact with friendly alpacas, feed them, and stroll through the scenic fields of Jeju. The peaceful atmosphere, fresh air, and chance to take adorable photos make this place perfect for relaxing and making vivid memories.

Stone houses with thatched roofs, lava walls, and the scent of dried herbs in the air. Jeju Folk Village is a step into the past, where the traditions, way of life, and spirit of the island are still alive. Here time flows slowly, and every corner seems to whisper a story. A true immersion in Korean culture — warm, atmospheric, and not touristy at all.

Location: "Battle of the Three Kingdoms" horse show

A spectacular performance on Jeju inspired by Korea's historical stories and legends. The show combines staged scenes, dynamic horseback riding and theatrical flair, leaving the group with a vivid impression.

Seongsan Ilchulbong is a volcanic peak in eastern Jeju and one of the island's most recognizable natural landmarks. The climb to the crater opens up panoramic views of the ocean and the east coast, and the peak itself resembles a huge natural bowl created by volcanic activity.

Seoul

5 days

Seoul is the city where Korea reveals itself in all its glory. Here, skyscrapers stand beside ancient palaces, street food sits alongside fine dining, and trendy districts neighbor cozy little streets.

In Seoul, you'll feel the rhythm of modern Korea, stroll through K-drama filming locations, step into the world of K-pop and, of course, see a city you'll never forget.

What awaits you
Cherry blossoms
Cherry blossoms

Cherry petals swirl through the air as if in slow motion, and the streets turn into soft pink tunnels. Cherry blossom season in Korea is a brief moment of beauty when the whole country pauses just to look, take photos and feel. It's not about the sights — it's about the mood. Calm, romance, a touch of wistfulness and the feeling that you're in the very heart of spring.

Good
To Know

  • US and Australian passport holders can generally visit South Korea visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. The temporary K-ETA exemption runs through 31 December 2026. For travel in 2027, check the rules for your passport and arrival date before departure; do not assume the exemption continues.

    We help you check the documents for your programme and assist with K-ETA when required. Language study, longer stays and other passport types may have different requirements. Entry approval is decided by Korean immigration.

    Official guidance: US passport holders · Australian passport holders · K-ETA

  • You purchase your plane tickets yourself. Once the group is confirmed, we'll send you a list of recommended flights with convenient connections and arrival times. That way, you can choose and buy your ticket directly from the airline or through whatever service you prefer, keeping flexibility and control over the price.
  • For personal spending (souvenirs, cafes, cosmetics, street food), $200 to $400 for the whole trip is usually enough. The amount depends on your habits and plans for the trip — Korea is generous with pretty little things and tasty temptations 😊
  • Participants arrange their own medical insurance. Throughout the tour, a guide will always be with you to help in any situation and, if needed, accompany you to a clinic or pharmacy.
  • Throughout the tour, participants stay in 4★ hotels in double rooms with separate beds. Rooms are assigned by gender. Single occupancy is available for an additional fee.

Practical questions

  • Yes, absolutely! We intentionally leave free hours and 1–2 days without excursions so you can rest, go shopping, eat at your favorite cafe or simply enjoy the city at your own pace.
  • All tours listed on the website are guaranteed. If the dates ever have to change due to force majeure, we will be sure to notify participants personally. So far, this has never happened 🙂 — everything goes according to plan!
  • After payment, you'll receive a booking confirmation and a message from a manager with detailed instructions: tour dates, the list of documents for K-ETA, guide contacts, and preparation tips. 2 months before the trip, we'll add you to the group chat, where you'll meet the other participants and get all tour updates.

Prices and payment

  • Yes, we offer an in-house installment plan. The number of payments depends on how much time is left before the tour starts: the earlier you book, the more installments you can split the payment into and the easier it is to spread out the cost.
  • Yes, we issue refunds depending on when you cancel. If you cancel 40 or more calendar days before the tour, you receive a full refund of the tour package. If you cancel later than 40 days before, 40% of the price is withheld — this covers organizational costs and bookings that have already been paid for.
