Naejangsan National Park - Autumn Maple Day Tour from Seoul / Busan

14.11.2024 It was such a nice trip although it took 3.5hrs + 6 hrs to and from naejangsan but it worth it. Beautiful scenery, great time to see autumn foliages and Ginko. Our guide Leah was very helpful,friendly, smiley and professional. It was great and thank you so much for her arrangement. She gave great information and provides comprehensive care and support throughout the whole journey. We took shuttle bus and walk 10 minutes to naejangshi which was quite relaxing with elderly. It took another hour to walk down the hill which could be quite exhausting to elderly but the scenery was amazing. You could consider taking shuttle on the way back too. 1 hour lunch plus 3.5 hours tour was quite sufficient to be with elderly.

Luckily, the weather is clear and sunny today, perfect for visiting Cangshan Mountain. We set off before dawn, and after arriving and having breakfast, we immediately started our hike. We walked a total of 3.9km from the Maple Tree Tunnel (not including the section from the parking lot to the Maple Tree Tunnel), passing Naejangsa >> Wonjeokam >> Road of LOVE >> Byeokryeonam along the way. Initially, because there were too many people waiting to take the cable car, we decided to hike up the mountain. As we walked, we ended up at Byeokryeonam. When descending, we thought we'd try our luck again with the cable car, but in the end, we had to give up due to time constraints. Overall, we were satisfied, but it's a pity there weren't enough ginkgo trees! The itinerary was well-arranged, the timing was appropriate, and the tour guide JOSH was friendly, humorous, and well-organized. LIKE

I had a really enjoyable time this tour and made unforgettable memories! Sean did an excellent job as a tour guide. He looked out for everyone and gave great recommendations for what to do at Naejangsan National Park. He also had a great sense of humor. We had enough time to explore the national park and hike Naejang Mountain. The autumn views were breathtaking! Lunch was also delicious and there was a vegetarian option. I highly recommend this tour if you like hiking and need a getaway from the city!

Tour guide able to speak fluent English and friendly. The walkabout is doable at own pace, or one can also take shuttle bus. There is also cable car for those not able to walk too long

I have heard many times from my friends that the maple leaves in Korea are great. When I came to Seoul at the end of October, I took a day to go to Mt. Naijang to see the five-color maple leaves! I also knew in advance that the one-way trip would take 3 or 4 hours. Even if it is far away from Seoul, the family members think that it is fine to get on the car and sleep, so it is no problem~ Although there are many people in Naijang Mountain, it is still worth coming! Because this is not the scenery seen in Seoul, the maple leaves are all red and orange, very pleasing to the eye! Because the cable car is at its own expense and a lot of people are queuing up, we just choose the route introduced by the tour guide~ After all, it is the peak season for maple viewing, and the people and cars are a bit congested. I have to praise the tour guide of SA for being very experienced. It is recommended to do it with time control Well done! 👍 Next time I will recommend this itinerary to my friends!

4 hour journey from Seoul to Naejangsan base. We had lunch and set off for the tour at. 12pm. We had 4 hours and hence not rush. Went to Naejangsa and Byeokyeonam. Nice scenery though the peak was just over.

The trips was absolutely stunning. The drive takes most of the time, but you have still plenty of time to hike by yourself or to go with most of the people up with gondola (not included in fee ca. 10.000 won return). The lunch is also recommended by the company for 15-25.000 won each. It tasted very good but was in comparison to Seoul pricey. Our guide Sean was the friendliest and passionate tour guide I ever had! It was great fun with him and would definitely recommend. He tough us a lot about the history of Korea. His English was also good! We hope to see him next year again!

Awesome experience! This tour is highly recommended and our tour guide is so patient and accommodating. First time to see autumn leaves and seeing it at Mt. Naejangsan is not disappointing. We may not be able to use the cable car, but walking along those lovely paths filled with colorful trees is already fulfilling. Thanks for that great experience!

I am a solo traveler and I booked a group tour going to Naejangsang mountain. It was no longer a peak of autumn season when I weny there but still the place is so beautiful.

Sean, the tour guide, is very great! He speaks good English and is very friendly to all of us. He responds quickly to messages, and is always helpful. He is very funny and provided nice trivia during the trip. He is very energetic too! The tour was on time and comfortable. All in all, it was a great experience!
