⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great experience with Michael as our guide! He shared lots of interesting and informative details about the Han River, Nami Island, the Alpaca Farm, and the Garden of Morning Calm, which made the trip more enjoyable and meaningful. The lunch spot he recommended was excellent—definitely one of the highlights! The whole tour was smooth, fun, and very convenient. Michael also drove safely and made sure we stayed on schedule, reaching each destination on time and returning to Myeongdong comfortably. Overall, it was a memorable trip and we highly recommend Michael to anyone visiting Seoul.

My family took the alpaca world, nami island and the rail bike. The guide was Jordan and we found him really informative, kind and helpful. He helped take pictures at every stop and taught us a couple of Korean words to use. Importantly, the tour had a self-paid lunch but they brought us to a halal restaurant. The time shared between each attraction site was sufficient for us to enjoy and get a snippet. In a nutshell, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and really recommend this tour if you are thinking about it.

Things to Do in Nami Island

Take a peaceful walk or bike ride along the metasequoia tree lane, one of the island's most iconic photo spots. This scenic path is especially stunning in autumn and winter.

Snap pictures at the Winter Sonata statue and other filming locations that helped put Nami Island South Korea on the global map. These spots are popular with fans and make for great memories.

Tips Before Visiting Nami Island

Dress for the season---summers are hot and winters can get freezing cold. Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if you plan to explore the whole island on foot.

Arrive early, especially on weekends or during peak seasons like fall foliage or cherry blossom time. The island gets busy fast, so early birds enjoy a quieter experience.

Book combo tickets or tours to save time and money. Many options include transport from Seoul plus stops at nearby attractions like Petite France or the Garden of Morning Calm.

Don't forget your ID if you're taking the zipline to the island---it's an adventurous alternative to the ferry and requires registration.
