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
Location: Arte Digital Museum

A digital museum with immersive multimedia installations. Light, sound and visual effects create a contemporary art space that perfectly complements Jeju's nature program.

Tea plantation

Sanbanggulsa Buddhist Temple

Sanbanggulsa is a Buddhist cave temple on the southern coast of Jeju Island. It sits high on the slope of Sanbangsan Mountain and is known for its unusual setting inside a natural lava cave, as well as its views of the Yongmeori coast and the sea. This place brings together the island's volcanic nature, legends and Buddhist tradition.

Location: Cheonjeyeon Park, the "Pond of the Heavenly Emperor"

A scenic park with waterfalls, green trails, and bridges. In the program, it serves as a nature walk at a relaxed pace.

Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff
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.

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: Seongsan Ilchulbong volcanic peak
Seongsan Ilchulbong volcanic peak

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
Location: Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace

The main residence of Korea's monarchs. Mighty gates, graceful pagodas, and the changing of the guard transport you to the Joseon Dynasty era — with its royal aesthetics and spirit of antiquity.

Location: Gwanghwamun Square
Gwanghwamun Square

This is a step toward the history and grandeur of Korea. A monumental space opens up before you: the statues of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong, the austere lines of Gyeongbokgung Palace and a panorama of mountains on the horizon. Gwanghwamun is the heart of Seoul, beating to the rhythm of history, strength and pride.

Bukchon Hanok Village

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.
