I booked an ocean view room. The room was clean and tidy. And it was so nice to be able to see the sunrise from the hotel balcony.

I stayed here during the holiday weekend. The overall facilities are good, but finding a parking spot at night was a bit difficult. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

The tour was very well organised. Our tour guide Nana was very professional and entertaining. My daughter liked her very much and we would give her a 5 star. We would definitely recommend SA tour service to eveyone.

We had a very memorable itinerary booking this trip. All of the places we visited are beautiful. You’ll definitely love it if you’re into nature trips. One thing, however, was that we felt kinda rushed during the 2nd (Nami island) and 3rd (Garden of Morning Calm) because of the traffic. Nevertheless, we also had a good tour guide (Peter) and he was very understanding. This trip was definitely a highlight to our South Korea tour.

Mr. Ki made our Nami Island & Alpaca Seasonal Tour a wonderful experience! He helped us fully enjoy Alpaca World with great tips for the best viewing spots, got us on a quick ferry to Nami Island for extra time there, and the Garden of Morning Calm was absolutely mesmerizing. He was a perfect driver, shared lots of Korean culture insights, and recommended an amazing traditional Korean barbecue restaurant.

Went solo but I meet buddies during the tour. The tour guide, Ruby 2 is very kind & approachable even days after our tour ended. Ruby 2 also take good pictures, she will instruct you on what poses to do, the angle & where to stand/sit. Our schedule coincided w/ rain but we still enjoyed. Fortunately we were still able to ride the cable car at Mt. Seorak.

We had an unforgettable experience with Marcos of MYK Tour! He gave us a wonderful tour of Seoraksan National Park, the seafood market, and Naksansa Temple. Marcos was fun, knowledgeable, warm, and kind throughout the day. Our family feels truly blessed to have seen such beautiful sights with such a thoughtful and enthusiastic guide. Highly recommend him and MYK Tour for anyone visiting the area!

What to know before visiting Sokcho

Discover Sokcho-si: what to expect year-round

Sokcho-si is a coastal getaway known for outdoor excursions, local tours and seasonal events. Klook booking patterns show a highly seasonal rhythm: demand builds through autumn and peaks in November, while late summer sees much lighter interest.

When to visit and how prices move

Klook data points to November as the busiest month and August as the quietest. Prices trend up into the autumn peak—November is typically the priciest month—while spring includes some of the lowest prices, with April showing the cheapest fares on Klook. If you want smaller crowds and lower costs, aim for April or other spring months; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and the most events, visit in November. Note that demand and price largely move together here: the busiest months are also the most expensive.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines tend to book about two weeks ahead, with some locking things in a month or more before travel and last-minute options often available within a few days. For short trips, you can be fairly flexible and still find choices; if you plan to travel in November, consider booking earlier to secure popular tours and events on Klook.
