With K-pop, K-dramas, and Korean food, among others, dominating modern pop culture all over the world, South Korea is truly a cultural force now. Hallyu fans everywhere have ‘traveling to South Korea and seeing Korean culture up close and personal’ on their bucket list.

However, planning an itinerary as a first-time traveler to Korea might be overwhelming because you just want to experience everything! If you’re thinking about what to do while in South Korea, here are seven South Korea tour packages that Klook is offering to travelers:

The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Panmunjeom has held cultural significance to Korea’s history being the 250km border that separated North and South Korea for the last 70 years. On this guided educational South Korea tour package, you’ll learn the significance of the Korean War and Cold War and visit other famous areas, such as Imjingak Park, the Freedom Bridge, and the Third Infiltration Tunnel. 

To cap everything off, you'll visit the observation decks in the Dora Observatory and Odusan Unification Tower and peek at the scenery overlooking North and South Korea.

The hit K-dramas ‘Winter Sonata,’ ‘My Love from the Star,’ and ‘Beethoven Virus’ all have something in common—they all have the same shoot location: Nami Island!

Surely, if you’re a massive K-Drama fan, you would not miss the opportunity to visit this beautiful half-moon-shaped island on your trips to South Korea! Whether you get to see the various blooming flowers or the beautiful falling leaves preparing for winter, Nami Island is still breathtaking to witness across all four seasons.

This South Korea tour package not only features a trip to the island itself but also tours the other places nearby, like the Garden of Morning Calm, the Petite France and Italian Village, the rail bike in Gangchon Rail Park, Alpaca World, and even Legoland!

Loads of tourists on their South Korea trip have Jeju Island on their must-visit list. This famous volcanic island is a sight to behold with its clear beaches, mysterious caves, and awe-inspiring rock formations.

First-time tourists and nature lovers visiting Jeju will definitely enjoy this South Korea tour package! Part of the tour’s itinerary is going to the beautiful crystal-clear waters of Hamdeok and Gwakji beaches. However, it isn’t just limited to beach-hopping—the otherworldly ambiance of the Micheon Cave will let you explore indoor and outdoor attractions, like greenhouses, sculptures, gardens, and even photo zones for tourists to take aesthetic Instagram photos.

Lastly, you’ll be awed by the majesty of the two UNESCO World Heritage sites, specifically the hydrovolcanic-formed tuff cone of Songsan Ilchubong and the largest volcanically-formed pillar rock of Jusangjeolli Lava Cliff.

Another interesting part of South Korea’s culture and history is its long-lasting Hanok houses. They’re made with a few organic materials that adapt to Korea's extreme hot and cold weather. 

Jeonju’s Hanok Village is the largest one in the country, preserving the unique architecture of more than 700 Hanok houses in the area. Similar to the previous tour packages, this one also includes other areas like Jangtaesan and Daedunsan, which are well-known as great hiking trails! 

Consider going to Jangtaesan if you want to have a fun hiking experience with convenient cafes along the way. However, if you enjoy a more scenic hiking route, Daedunsan is the place for you. Either way, you’ll get to explore both with this South Korea tour package!

Are you an adventurous tourist? Do you like incorporating sports into your trip? Well, this South Korea tour package might be for you!

With Vivaldi Park constantly upgrading its equipment and facilities to cater to various tourists’ needs, it has become South Korea’s well-known first-class winter resort. The tour package you can book on Klook includes not only the accommodation and transportation to the resort but also snowboarding or ski lessons, especially if you want to dabble in the sport.

However, if you’re a pro at winter sports, there’s a package where you don’t have to take the lessons and immediately go up the slopes with the Lift Pass included!

While South Korea has beautiful scenery all year round, it is a must to experience Korea’s peaceful scenic destinations during winter. The Eobi Ice Valley is the pinnacle of nature’s beauty, with the view of its ice wall formed during the winter.

Touring the Eobi Ice Valley will let you take pictures on the ice wall, but you’ll get to tour the rest of Nami Island as well. However, each package has a different itinerary. This South Korean package includes the Petite France, Italian Village, Alpaca World, Garden of Morning Calm, and the Gangchon Rail Park, depending on which day you are available.

Complete your South Korea tour by exploring the iconic temples and museums that show Seoul’s rich cultural heritage by booking the Seoul Palaces, Namsan Hanok Tower, and Seoul Tower tour packages!

This includes going to the National Folk Museum, where you get to learn more about Koreans’ daily lives during historic times until the Joseon Dynasty. You’ll also go to the Jogyesa Buddhist Temple and see how Buddhism is practiced in the country, and then to the Seoul Towers to get a panoramic view of Seoul. 

Lastly, you will visit the traditional Hanok Villages, where you get to see the unique architecture of the houses, folk performances, and even artisans practicing their craft!

Planning your trips to South Korea can be easy! With a lot of people going there, choosing which area to go first is overwhelming for a first-time traveler. However, these South Korea tourism packages make it more convenient for you to visit the places you’ve always wanted to go to while also visiting other notable destinations within the area.
