🏝 Ganghwa Island Day Trip

🏝 Ganghwa Island Day Trip

Step away from Seoul and discover Ganghwa Island, a historic island on Korea’s west coast where you can experience Korea’s rich traditions, history, and natural beauty.

Ganghwa is home to Chamseongdan Altar, where rituals to Heaven have been performed since ancient times. It is also known as an “roofless museum,” where you can see prehistoric dolmens that are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We’ll also visit a family country house, where you’ll have a chance to try on traditional Korean hanbok, enjoy traditional food, and experience some traditional Korean games and activities.

This is a one-day trip, but packed with Korean history, culture, nature, and food. Come along for a unique and memorable day away from Seoul!
