[Klook Exclusive] Round-trip Shuttle Bus from/to Nami Island (Depart from Gangnam, Jamsil Station)
I strongly recommend this place to everyone. So calm and beautiful. Also, I highly recommend this travel agency. The driver was very, very kind, and I was able to have a really comfortable and pleasant trip. If I ever get another chance to visit Nami island again, I would definitely re-book this agency's shuttle! The driver was so kind. It was a very crowded day, and even though there was only one team between me and my mom, my mom continued to praise her for how kind she was.

Shuttle Bus Transfers between Seoul and Everland/Carribean Bay
the bus to hop on everland was near my hotel. very easy to find. there were many Singaporeans there though. so no worries. and the staff know how to speak English. Even ajussi knew how to speak English. they asked us to choose the timing of return, the early or later batch. at first chose the early batch but after wards chose the later batch to return, which wrote on the ticket the early batch. at first there was hiccup as they did not allow after seeing the timing on my ticket. but one kind ajussi said just take the bus no worries and I was glad I was still be able to get back to hotel. the later timing was late and far from hotel. so lucky everything was OK.

[Special Offer] Nami Island Admission with Restaurants & Activities
I went to Nami Island every time, but I went improvised.Some places made reservations the day before or a few hours ago, so it was uncomfortable, but it was less than 10 minutes here, and there was a confirmation time in case of an accident. It was inexpensive and it was my first time using it, but it's nice to know a good app^^

DMZ Tour
I highly recommend this journey. In the morning, a driver will greet you at the hotel and go to a meeting point in the city center to meet up with other fellow travelers. On the way, the tour guide gave professional explanations, and his Chinese was very clear and kind. Go to different attractions, and take the initiative to take pictures for us! The journey includes access to the third tunnel, but unfortunately it is not possible to take pictures in the tunnel. The mobile phone camera must be stored in the passenger center before departure, so relevant regulations will be respected. But it’s a great honor to feel the local history. Finally returned to Seoul and took us to a famous restaurant for lunch before disbanding!

Hanwha Aqua Planet Ilsan
There are mermaid performances and walrus introductions. Although they are not big rooms, you can play for a long time if you like fish and animals. I stayed with my friends for 3 hours 😂 There are sheep waiting for you on the top floor! Really great value. Moreover, it is more expensive to purchase on the Korean website. After buying, you can change the ticket at the counter and it will be OK! Klook에서사면가장싸요~ 일산아쿠아플라넷에처음에가보니까정말재미있어요!!
