DMZ Guided Tour with North Korean Defectors - Gondola, Bridge

The DMZ: Encountering Through the Third Tunnel & Dora Observatory

Journey from Seoul to explore the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the history of Korea's division. The DMZ, established as a buffer zone centered on the Military Demarcation Line following the 1953 Armistice Agreement, symbolically represents the reality of North-South division. Key sites include the Third Infiltration Tunnel and Dora Observatory. Walk through the Third Tunnel and, from Dora Observatory, gaze towards North Korea while learning about the Korean War and the history of division with guidance.


Conversation with a Defector & Imjingak Peace Gondola

For a more in-depth experience, choose the option that includes a session with a North Korean defector. Hear firsthand accounts of life in North Korea and their escape journey, offering a personal perspective on the division of the peninsula.

The gondola option allows you to cross the Imjin River on the Imjingak Peace Gondola. On the 3rd floor rooftop of the DMZ station, a photo zone recreating the Joint Security Area (JSA) is available for memorable pictures.

*Please note: The JSA photo zone is not a visit to the actual Panmunjom or Joint Security Area (JSA).
