About This Tour

Only 20 km away from the North Korean border is Hwacheon County. There, one of the top winter festivals of the world takes place. At Sancheoneo Ice Fest you can catch fish through a hole drilled in the frozen river. After successful fishing, we will hand the fish over to the chef’s desks and get them cooked to have a grub on it.

If you are up for something more dynamic, dare to jump into ice cold water and try catching sancheoneo by hand. Bobsledding and ice sledding are also prepared as parts of the festival. Come join this special, family-friendly 3 days tour! The tour includes visits to Yongpyeong Ski Resort and popular natural parks such as Nami Island.

You can customize your destinations during this private tour, in order to spend your time effectively. We don't waste your time by visiting compulsory shopping centers. The original itinerary is always up for your discussion and change. Plus, the tour guide can always offer you the best local restaurants!

      Our winter getaway in Korea was a delightful mix of outdoor adventure and cozy experiences. We had a blast skiing and even tried our hand at ice fishing, which turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable! The only hiccup was the long drive to Nami Island, but the stunning scenery along the way made it worth it, especially when we indulged in some delicious local meals after our activities.

      Exploring Nami Island was a highlight, with its stunning tree-lined paths blanketed in snow, making it feel like a winter wonderland. The skiing experience was thrilling, but I found the gear rental process a bit chaotic at the start. Overall, the cozy accommodations in Seoul offered a perfect retreat after long days filled with ice fishing and outdoor adventures, making it an unforgettable solo trip.
