What to expect
ITINERARY
Sample Itinerary
*This itinerary varies depending on your train departure time from Seoul
*All tours are private. Tours take approximately 5 hours (from the entrance of the valley), depending on the size and ability of the group.
*Serpent’s Tail
The Serpent’s Tail Canyon is a green and secluded oasis, with water so clean that you could actually drink it! Once you’re off the main trails, it is unlikely you’ll see another soul until you exit the canyon. This tour begins with an hour of easy hiking. To descend the stream, you’ll be lowered down a 9m cliff, fly down one of our ziplines, and then learn to rappel on a nice 5m waterfall facing slab. From here, you’ll then tackle a 9m rappel through the water into our slide pool. Then our canyon climaxes with a 25m rappel that sends you through a curtain of cascading water.
