From Seoul: Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival Ice Fishing Tour - Myeongdong, Hongdae, Dongdaemun Pickup

I have been living in South Korea for almost 8 years, but this is the first time I have been living in Seoul during the winter & had the opportunity to go to the Hwacheon Ice Fishing Festival. I am so glad I went because it was a great experience. My group arrived early, so the "foreigner" section wasn't too busy. I spent over 90 minutes fishing, but I only caught one fish. I don't know whether it was my lack of technique, as certain other individuals were catching loads. You don't get to keep the fish, however, so afterwards I was glad I didn't catch any more, as the poor fish was thrashing around for ages in the plastic bag! The smoked fish was delicious & we had plenty of free time to walk around/participate in lots of other activities. We then went to visit an indoor ice sculpture project which was really impressive. The trip is really good value for money & our tour guide & driver, Brendon, was very kind & helpful, & ensured everyone had a great time. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this tour. I went there with my friend, we chose Hwacheon Ice Fishing Festival together with the Eobi Ice Valley and we had such a great time thanks to our tour guide, Mac! He was well organized, took care of everything and answered all of our questions. This Ice Festival was really fun, definitely worth visiting. Although, in the beginning I had hard time trying to catch a fish, with Mac’s help, I managed to catch one! Eobi Valley is very beautiful we took a lot of pictures there. Mac is a great photographer by the way. We also got to visit and feed some cute Alpacas. Once again, thank you Mac for this amazing trip!

Great programs and tour guide, Aileen. Highly recommended!

very fun and the surprise at the end was great ! thanks to jessi and her bright personality I enjoyed my day
