About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour begins in Seoul, where traditional palaces sit quietly behind sleek glass towers. Included is a stroll through Bukchon Hanok Village and a taekwondo class that hints at the martial art's precision and grace.

The route then leads southeast to Gyeongju, notable for its hanok-style accommodation and centuries-old royal tombs. Here, the stillness of Cheomseongdae Observatory contrasts with the vibrant street markets of Busan, where a kimchi-making class and visits to seafood markets capture the city’s more laid-back side.

A short flight takes the group to Jeju Island, best known for its natural sights like Seongsan Sunrise Peak and the dramatic Yongmeori Coast. The chance to meet the haenyeo, the women divers still harvesting seafood by free diving, offers a rare glimpse into a deeply rooted tradition. The itinerary balances busy days and thoughtful immersion, with local guides and a National Geographic Expedition Leader to navigate the details over the course of eight nights.
