The redemption was really easy. Just head straight to the barrier gate with your QR code and you could gained access to the ferry terminal. The waiting time at the ferry terminal is about 10 mins. This was our 2nd visit to Nami Island. The last we came was in Spring. This time winter. The view really superb. Kids were having lots of fun playing with the snow even though they were disappointed that it didn't snow due to sudden weather changed. We hung out at the bakery cafe and the view to the lake was very nice. Overall, nice experience.

We had a wonderful time at Snowyland in Seoul and truly enjoyed the entire experience. The snowy area was so much fun and memorable for our family.
We would especially like to thank our tour guide for being so patient and understanding. We were late reaching the meeting point due to a long queue at the cable car going downhill, yet the guide kindly waited for us, which we really appreciated.
Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely choose this tour company again in the future. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience with my friends at Alpaca World, Nami Island, and Eobi Ice Valley! We went January 10th, 2026 and were able to see snow throughout all locations!
Our tour guide, Jordan, was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and attentive. He shared fascinating insights about South Korea’s history, culture, and popular foods, keeping everyone excited and engaged from our early start at 7 a.m. until the end of the day at 8 p.m. He was also fluent in Mandarin, Korean, and English, and perfectly translated everything throughout all languages!
Even when my friend felt extremely nauseous during the bus ride, Jordan went above and beyond to help us find an alternative transportation route for her. I’m so grateful for his guidance and support throughout the trip—he truly helped my friends and I create long-lasting memories!
I would 10/10 recommend this route and highly suggest requesting Jordan as your tour guide!

The tour guide was friendly and welcoming. Very functional at taking beautiful pictures. Made things easy. The trip was very good. Lucky with snow in all the places. It would be even better if the bus windows were clearer to see the outside scenery.

Though, this place is not so convenient to reach, it is really a good and special place to have close contact with alpaca. They are not smelly and tame. The restaurant on the hillside is good and the food is delicious at reasonable price. The capybara was cute too, though looked a bit lonely. Highly recommend to family with kid to visit. My kid had a wonderful memory there.Thank you very much!
