[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.

[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^^

Shuttle Bus Transfers between Seoul and Everland/Carribean Bay
It was the first time I took the shuttle bus to Everland. 9:50 AM Pick up at Dongdaemun -> Arrive at Everland at around 10:30 AM-about 40 minutes Departure at Everland at 6:30 PM -> Arrive at Dongdaemun at around 7:15 PM-about 45 minutes At first, it takes 10,000 won per person I thought this was a little expensive, but I am very satisfied with using it. When I was going, there weren't many people, so I sat comfortably one by one, but there were many people who used one-way on the way back to Seoul. As I went to the bus-only road, I was able to arrive quickly because I didn't have to worry about getting crowded, and because I didn't drive myself, I got away from the stress of driving and went home comfortably. However, since the bus service time is a little late, I wished that there would be an earlier schedule. Everland is okay, but it's better to go to Caribbean Bay early...

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!!
