Top attractions in Gangwon
Island
Nami Island
Nami Island is a small island located in the Han River, South Korea. Also known as Namiseom Island, it is known for its stunning natural beauty and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in South Korea. Whether you're visiting in winter, spring, summer, or autumn, Nami Island promises a picturesque escape year-round. If you're up for some adventure, you can take the zipline, one of the largest zipline facilities in Asia, for a breathtaking 80-meter view of the island.

Tourist attraction
DMZ zone
DMZ Korea (Demilitarized Zone) is one of the most fascinating and tense borders in the world. Stretching 250 km across the Korean Peninsula and measuring 4 km wide, it separates South Korea and North Korea along the Military Demarcation Line (MDL). Established after the Korean War Armistice Agreement in 1953, this heavily fortified border remains a symbol of both division and hope for a unified Korea.
Despite its military significance, the DMZ has also become an unlikely buffer zone for wildlife, home to rare and endangered animals such as the red-crowned crane and Amur leopard. Today, travelers can take an official tour to the DMZ from Seoul and witness firsthand the history, military tension, and unique natural environment of this region.
Ironically, the absence of human settlement has turned the DMZ into a natural sanctuary. This buffer zone is home to hundreds of bird species and rare endangered animals, making it one of the most unique ecological preserves on the Korean Peninsula.

LEGOLAND Resort is the epitome of kindness!!! It was our family of four's first trip to Chuncheon, and despite some excitement and worries, it was a 100-star experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we left!!! The hotel's cleanliness, the staff's service-mindedness, everything made for an amazing trip. Thanks to Klook for providing such a cost-effective experience! ^^

Gangchon rail bike was an amazing experience. I was glad I booked on klook rather then buying on site as there were limited tickets for the time that I chose. You have to show the voucher at the counter to get a physical ticket.

We had an amazing time on the Nami + Alpaca + Rail Bike Tour—DAEBAK! The rail bike ride was so much fun, with beautiful scenery all along the way. The alpacas were absolutely adorable, and Nami Island was incredibly relaxing and peaceful.
A huge thank you to our very kind and accommodating tour guide, Jordan. 🙏🏻

had a wonderful time joining the one day trip the Garden of Morning Calm, Gangchon Rail Bike, and Nami Island. Our guide (Yamy) was very accommodating and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. She is very helpful and friendly.
Nami Island offered a calm and picturesque atmosphere, while the Gangchon Rail Bike ride was definitely a highlight fun, refreshing, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The Garden of Morning Calm was the perfect stunning gardens and peaceful walking paths. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and a tour I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Korea.

It was my sisters first time in SKorea and we all could not have had a better tour guide than Mr. Kim DongJun. He was friendly, warm, informative and drove safely. And despite Seoul’s rush-hour traffic, he promptly delivered us back to our hotel on the time published by your website. When we were in Nami Island, he showed us where the best spots were for photos & very kindly took our photos, too. He also showed us around the beautiful Morning Calm Garden, apologising that we were not able to see the garden in full bloom as many were lost to frost. He really was the kindest Guide. I would recommend Mr. Kim DongJun 10/10. He is a travel guide extraordinaire, and the next time we find ourselves in Seoul, we will book with Klook again and will request for him as our Guide.

Mr Dong is fantastic! We went to Petite France/Italian Village, Nami island then Garden of Morning Calm. Communication with him was clear. We left at 8AM (ideal time). He also secured the tickets for us (he used his company discount) so that was a great bonus for us. He even took pictures of us at the entrance of each destination. He’s a wonderful person, excellent driver and navigator. The price is a good deal, given the distance from Seoul. It’s also an excellent deal if you are at least 3 people in your group (we had 5 adults in our group) and not very particular with having an actual tour guide and okay on your own. We were happy to move at a pace of our liking. Thank you Mr. Dong!
