Sherry was an amazing tour guide during our ski trip in Elysian! She was very attentive and patient with all our needs, especially as beginners. She made sure we were comfortable and always provided clear instructions, which really helped us feel confident and enjoy the experience. Highly recommended!

Vivaldi Ski & Snowy Land was such a fun winter experience! Booking via Klook was very convenient and hassle-free. The place is well-maintained, staff were helpful, and it’s great for beginners and first-timers. Definitely worth the visit!

This is not my 1st time booking from this package and i really like how seamless the whole package ESPECIALLY for beginners. There are a good amount of coaches to student ratios and the transfers and communications were very stress-free with a group chat to sort the groupings up. The only downside was the quality of snow when I went on a sunny Febuary that has nothing to do with the team.
However, for beginners who have zero clue on how to snowboard/ski this is the PERFECT package to start with at an affordable price with ALL of the necessary equiptments all covered. I went with snowboarding + lesson + ski lift pass, and these are included: helment, googles, coat, pants, shoes and board. 1 hour lesson on basics such as how to fall and braking. Plenty of time to self study as well, and mutiple routes for all stages of skill.

Exchanging the ticket was such a smooth process. Everyone had fun in Snowyland with their adult and kiddie snow rides. All rides were safely inspected. Even our senior parents had blast on the Snow Tornado. It was worth the 2 hour trip we took from Seoul.

the package basically includes the most things i need during the snowboarding trip, which are the chairlift ticket and the equipment rental, at a very reasonable price.

Ruby & Roy were very nice & lively. They were also very particular with safety. The trip itself was good too. It's our first time to go skiing, and though it was hard, we still had fun. Worth the penny 🙂

experience: Good, We enjoyed so much! prepared sa layers ng clothes para di malamig ng sobra!!
ski equipment: Free yung Ski clothes and Yung mismong ski, other done that need to rent ng knee and hip pads, then Bilhin yung gloves, socks, neck warmr and baclava for safety lang! since malamig nga. 🥶
guide: Chinese speaking pero may chat naman sa w.a mga guides. 🤗 also, pagdating dun sa site english naman mag lelesson for 1 hour 🤗 -- All in all, we are all happy and recommended 🫡

Although i did not ski thus no need for.skiing gear. I had a nice time in the snow taking pictures and watching the people skiing. its my second time both in Elysian Resort and Eobi ice valley and still find it amazing. I just availed the transportation and its very cheap and convenieny instead of doing DIY compared what I did before. It was freaking cold negative 4 that time but still love Eobi.

Good experience but however I feel it can be quite overwhelming with many different groups coming together at the same time. Can be better with better organizing in the whole process.
