Seoul: Nami Island & The Garden of Morning Calm Day Tour (Departing from Seoul)

Time for complete rest

If you want to see, enjoy, and refresh yourself in nature, visit Namiseom Island and the Garden of Morning Calm.

This one-day tour captures the most beautiful natural scenery Chuncheon and Gapyeong boast. With no worries about transportation, driving, traffic, or parking, the comfortable bus tour will allow you to focus solely on relaxation. The short itinerary, located near Seoul, also means it won't be physically taxing.

The beauty of nature conveyed in calmness

Started with a small desire to share the beauty of Korea, the Garden of Morning Calm embodies the uniquely Eastern sense of mystery and the noble spirit of the Korean people. With over 500 plant species to admire, seasonal festivals, wildflower, hydrangea, and chrysanthemum exhibitions, and other events, there's never a dull moment.

You can experience the diverse charms of natural landscapes, such as the Poetry Trail, the Morning Calm Trail, the Morning Valley, and the Thousand-Year Fragrance, all in one place.

Five-Colored Starlight Garden Exhibition

The romantic festival that marks the end of the year, the Five-Colored Starlight Garden at the Morning Calm Arboretum, has arrived.
Beneath the tranquil foothills of Cheongpyeong, a 100,000-pyeong garden is illuminated by approximately 10 million LED lights, creating a garden of light that twinkles like stars in the night sky.

During the winter, you can enjoy the serenity of a snow-covered arboretum during the day, while at night, you can enjoy a fantastical light show, creating a completely different charm during the day and night. It's a beloved date spot for couples, a place for families to create memories, and a top photo spot for photography-loving travelers. 📸💖

Designated the 14th UNICEF Child-Friendly Park in the world, it's a place the whole family can enjoy together.
