Leave from your Seoul hotel and see
the DMZ and Gamaksan Bridge in one day

This roughly 10-hour tour picks you up at a hotel in central Seoul and visits Imjingak Peace Nuri Park in Paju, the Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory, Tongilchon village, the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge and JSA Studio in turn. A DMZ specialist guide leads in English, and the entrance fees included in the plan do not need to be paid on site.

Explore the DMZ from Imjingak to the Third Tunnel and Dora Observatory

At Imjingak Peace Nuri Park you see the Freedom Bridge, Mangbaedan Altar and the Imjin River flowing from North Korea. After receiving your DMZ shuttle ticket, you enter the DMZ and go down into the Third Tunnel, which North Korea dug after the Korean War.

At Dora Observatory you look toward North Korea with the naked eye and see the reality of the division. At Tongilchon village you can browse DMZ souvenirs, T-shirts, magnets, caps, local snacks and drinks, then return to Imjingak Peace Nuri Park for a short break.

Take in the mountain scenery from Gamaksan Suspension Bridge

You then head to Gamaksan, one of the sites of the fiercest fighting of the Korean War, and walk across its suspension bridge. From the bridge you can enjoy the natural scenery of the mountain.

Take photos at JSA Studio and try airsoft shooting

At the JSA Studio space set up for this tour, you can take fun photos at 12 photo booths, including a Kim Jong-un booth, a North Korean soldier booth, a Battle of Seolmaeri booth and a JSA meeting booth.

Tour participants can also use the airsoft shooting range at no extra cost. It has sniper rifles, rifles, pistols and bolt-action guns, and the HPA system gives the recoil of a real gun. Compete with friends or family for the best score.
