Your day, hour by hour
- 08:00
Seoul hotel pickup & drive to Gapyeong
Meet your driver at your Seoul hotel and travel east in a private van. A comfort stop can be added, and departure time is adjusted around traffic and the day's ferry schedule.
- 10:00
Ferry crossing to Nami Island
Board the short ferry across the Bukhangang River and watch the wooded island draw closer. In autumn, the crossing is framed by vivid red and gold foliage.
- 10:30
Tree-lined forest avenue
Begin with a gentle walk beneath Nami Island's tall trees. The route can follow quieter woodland paths or the best seasonal avenue for your visit.
- 11:30
Traditional garden & lotus pond
Pause beside a secluded Korean pavilion, pond and lotus garden — a calm corner for photographs and a slower moment away from the island's busier paths.
- 12:30
Island lunch & riverside break
Choose from Korean favourites and family-friendly dishes, then take an easy stroll beside the water. Dietary preferences can be discussed before the tour.
- 14:00
Handicraft studio experience
Visit Nami Island's characterful handicraft studio and, when a session is available, add a simple creative activity suitable for adults and children. Activity fees are paid separately.
