South Korea Group Tour

12-day South Korea group adventure from Seoul to Jeju Island

Euroventure's 12-day South Korea Group Tour begins in Seoul and ends on Jeju Island, taking small groups of up to 22 people through five destinations: Seoul, Sokcho, Gyeongju, Busan, and Jeju. The itinerary balances city exploration, outdoor activity, and cultural immersion. In Seoul, you start with Korean BBQ and visit the Demilitarised Zone and North Korean border landmarks. From there the tour moves north to Seoraksan National Park for hiking, south through Gyeongju for a cycling tour and overnight stay at a Buddhist temple, then to Busan's waterfront and markets, and finally to Jeju Island for traditional diver performances, a liquor workshop, and an Olle Trail trek. Bilingual Adventure Leaders accompany the group throughout. Accommodation alternates between hostels, traditional bathhouses, and temples, keeping costs low while building cultural connection. This suits independent travellers who want guided structure without luxury hotels, food enthusiasts drawn to Korean cuisine and workshops, and fit travellers comfortable with regular hiking and walking.
