Details of the Day Trip
After assembling at your chosen location in Seoul at the designated hour, we will embark on our excursion to Pocheon. Are you ready to be captivated by the beauty of nature in Korea?
Our adventure begins at the Hantangang UNESCO Global Geopark. Amidst this remarkable volcanic landscape, we will cross the famous Y-shaped suspension bridge, providing us with breathtaking panoramic views of the basaltic cliffs. Additionally, we’ll traverse the Sky Bridge and enjoy a brief hike leading to the enchanting Bidulginang Waterfall, nestled in a gorge reminiscent of a fairy tale.
Following this, we will visit Pocheon Herb Island, a charming European-inspired theme park. Its renowned Pink Sand Zone offers an ideal backdrop for unforgettable photographs. You will have leisure time to wander among fragrant flora and enjoy lunch at your expense in this picturesque environment.
Our last destination will be the illustrious Art Valley. This former granite quarry has undergone a transformation into a cultural park through an ecological restoration initiative. Now, it features a crystal-clear lake surrounded by striking cliffs. To enhance your experience, we’ll take a monorail ride to effortlessly navigate the area and soak in the scenic beauty.
Eventually, we will return to Seoul, with arrival at the drop-off locations between 6 pm and 6:50 pm, varying by your chosen stop.
