Hwacheon Sancheonfish Ice Festival & Eobi Ice Valley Tour from Seoul

Branden is a kind, friendly, and very helpful guide. He always helped us take photos and gave clear, interesting explanations at every scenic spot. We truly enjoyed the ice fishing experience—it was fun and memorable, and the BBQ fish was very fresh and delicious.

this trip definitely worth the 5 stars, no less. The ice fishing (managed to fish 3😎), the sledding, the eobi ice valley and other extra trips (that is not mentioned) made the trip more worthwhile than expected. Service provided by Mac (tour guide) is next level. humble and friendly lad

never been ice fishing before so decided to take a tour. it was a very interesting and fun experience. The tour guide Michael did well with showing us around. he preached punctuality throughout the tour to make sure that we were at each destination and had time to see a bit of everything.

an awesome one day trip with very memorable experience of catching fishes and sledding on ice river. Michael, our tour guide has been entertaining and responsive. very helpful throughout the trip. highly recommend this trip to everyone.

Michael was very knowledgeable, patient, funny, and approachable. Good singer! The fishing was a lot of fun. My favorite was being able to see the fish thru the ice hole because the water was so clear! The grilled fish and food was also delicious! The ice sculpture park was amazing to see. The ice blocks were so clear an built up into fun structures. Cloud cafe and Baby llamas were so cute. The sheep and goats in the enclosures did look really sad though. The sheep and goats that were in the pasture looked more happy. The meerkats also looked too cold. Pastries and coffee at the cafe were delicious!

Our family had a wonderful time on the Hwacheon Sancheonfish Ice Festival and Eobi Ice Valley Tour from Seoul. The entire trip was well organized and enjoyable for all ages. The festival was magical, especially the ice fishing, which the kids absolutely loved. There were also fun ice activities and plenty of food stalls serving tasty Korean winter treats. Our tour guide, Jessie, truly made the experience special. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive, sharing fun facts and making sure we didn’t miss any highlights. Her warmth and patience made the tour feel personal and relaxed. The Eobi Ice Valley was breathtaking, with beautiful frozen scenery perfect for photos. Jessie guided us to the best spots and kept a comfortable pace for our children. This tour is a fantastic family-friendly winter experience, and Jessie made it unforgettable. Highly recommended!

The ice festival was so fun! We caught two fishes, went for snow sled, ate grilled fish, visited the illumination plaza (like a mini Harbin) and Eobi valley. The itinerary was well planned and we got to sleep a lot during the commute. Jessie was an amazing billingual guide who took photos for us and was patient in managing our problems. I lost my ticket during the trip and Jessie helped me resolved the issue. One of our guide mates injured herself and Jessie was there to help her too. Highly recommended but do come prepared with lots of energy to play in the cold (-15 degrees in January)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an easy, relaxed, and truly value-for-money tour. Special thanks to Mario, our tour guide, who made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The tour came with lots of freebies, and Mario even helped us get great photos along the way. Big thanks to Team Mario for the excellent service from start to finish. Very satisfied joiner — highly recommended! Happy traveler from the Philippines 🇵🇭

First time going for the ice fishing festival and it was fun and had a good experience. Took some time to finally catch a fish, then we had grilled fish, went for tube ice sledding, also tried the traditional sled which was not easy to move around but interesting experience. Ice world was indoors but very beautiful and there was a fun slide made of ice! Guide Michael was funny and very friendly, helping us to take pictures and ensuring we have a smooth experience throughout. he is fluent in both Mandarin & English as well hence communication is good. Thank you!!

The trip was really fun with Michael our tour guide, who is able to converse well in both English and Chinese 👍🏻. He kept us entertained all day long, even while driving! And we got free grilled fish, which was amazing regardless of whether we caught anything or not. He's super friendly and always so helpful, taking tons of group photos with us.
