The experience

The tour leaves Seoul at 7am from Myeongdong Station (or you can join at Yeosu EXPO KTX Station at 10:30am) and heads south by private vehicle. Day 1 centers on Yeosu's islands and coastline: you take a ferry across emerald water to Geumodo Island, eat a local lunch, then hike the Geumodo Coastal Cliff Walk, which runs along dramatic cliffs with a suspension bridge and panoramic ocean views. The ferry returns you to Yeosu by late afternoon. From September through October, the tour includes a stop at the Yeosu World Island Expo before you ride the Maritime Cable Car at sunset or evening, watching the coastline from above the water. You check into the OAND:F Hotel, a 4-star property with ocean-view rooms and private terraces. Breakfast is delivered to your room each morning.

Day 2 starts with hotel breakfast and checkout at 9am. The drive takes you to Suncheon, where you explore Naganeupseong Folk Village (Korea's best-preserved traditional fortress village with thatched-roof houses), and then walk through Suncheon Bay Wetland, famous for its reed fields and wildlife. After lunch, you depart for Busan at 3pm, with a rest stop at Jinyeong Service Area along the way. The tour ends at Busan Station around 6pm, where you can continue to your hotel or next destination by taxi or subway.

The private vehicle stays with you both days, so there's no switching between transportation types or waiting for group schedules. Water is provided throughout. A travel photo service captures moments along the route. Parking fees and all ferry tickets are included. The only meals not covered are dinner on Day 1, which you choose from local restaurants and food stalls near the Expo.
