About this activity

The east coast of Korea is best known for Sokcho and Gangneung.

We know many international travelers have a hard time choosing between the two.

With this tour, you can stay in Sokcho and still enjoy a comfortable day trip to Gangneung.

If you’re not interested in K-culture spots like the BTS Bus Stop or the Goblin filming location, you can visit Naksansa Temple instead.

Also, if you’ve already been to another Arte Museum, you may choose Haslla Art World as an alternative.

Please note that substitutions may not be possible when touring with other groups. We appreciate your understanding.
