Korean-Speaking Ulleungdo & Dokdo Island Tours

Standard DreamTrip
Join your Korean-speaking guide & tour notable attractions on Ulleungdo & Dokdo islands, including Bongnae Waterfall, Nari Basin & Samseonam Rock — plus, ride Taehahyangmok Tourist Monorail & Dokdo Observatory Cable Car for fantastic views. Book by September 30.

About Your Trip

Pack your camera and get ready for wild adventures with this action-packed DreamTrip in eastern South Korea. Starting in the coastal city of Gangneung, you’ll take a ferry to Ulleungdo, a beautiful island far from the mainland. Led by a Korean-speaking guide, you’ll experience the best this remote island has to offer.

Stroll along Haengnam Coastal Trail, watching the crashing waves below as you pass rugged cliffs and sea caves. You’ll then enjoy a fishing experience before moving on to Bongnae Waterfall. Look way up — this 82-foot (25-meter) wonder boasts 3 tiers of fresh rushing water. A different tour the following day brings you to Dokdo island for exploration and discovery of its many treasures. But first, you’ll take a thrilling ride on Taehahyangmok Tourist Monorail, which runs from Charcoal Cave to Taeha Lighthouse, offering panoramic views along the way.

On your final full-day tour, you’ll visit the pedestrian bridge between Ulleungdo and Gwaneumdo islands as well as Samseonam Rock, large rocks jutting out from the sea. From there, you’re off to Nari Basin, a flat spot on the island caused by volcanic activity. Another fun ride awaits at Dokdo Observatory Cable Car — zip across for a new perspective high above the island. After visiting Geobukbawi Rock (Turtle Rock), you’ll ferry back to Gangneung for an evening of free time to do whatever you’d like.

What we love:
• The inland caldera of Nari Basin is lush and green thanks to soil fertilized by volcanic ash over the centuries. People living here farm medicinal herbs and other healthy plants.
• Along with your dinner on Day 2, your lunches on Day 2 and Day 3 highlight dishes made from squid — it’s one of Ulleungdo island’s specialties.
• To maximize your enjoyment, download the DreamTrips™ app to access DreamTrips Local — then earn points on dining, entertainment, spa experiences & more at select spots recommended by DreamTrippers just like you!

Destination

Being a large city in South Korea’s Gangwon province means that coastal Gangneung has a lot to offer — from beaches and market stalls to attractions like Daegwallyeong Museum of cultural relics and the 18th-century Seongyojang House. Another notable highlight is the Ojukheon house, dating from the Joseon-era and considered one of the country’s oldest buildings.

Ulleungdo is a remote island-city in East Sea (also known as Sea of Japan), accessible only by ferry, but well worth the journey. Nicknamed “Mystery Island,” it’s a place of staggering natural beauty, with volcanic peaks, interesting rock formations, primitive forests and magnificent coastlines. Inland, you’ll find Nari Basin, the island’s flattest area, where traditional villagers farm medicinal herbs and plants. Other attractions include the tiered Bongnae Waterfall, Naesujeon Sunrise Observatory and Cheonbu Underwater Observatory.

On this DreamTrip, Platinum Members will be treated to a per-person, 4-ounce (120-gram) sampling of prime local beef during the group dinner on Day 3 (6 p.m.).
