Parc national de Seoraksan Ulsanbawi en randonnée au départ de Séoul

The tour guide Kim is a gem. We have been in Korea for a week now and he is by far the best tour guide we have had. Extremely knowledgeable, personable and his English is fantastic. The hike was a really good and definitely not for beginners but totally doable.

Amazing trip. Hike and temple awe inspiring. Our guide Mr. Kim was attentive, knowledgeable and insightful both in regard to the hike and experiencing Korean culture. He even dropped us off at a fantastic restaurant instead of our hotel.

He is an experienced guide and it was nice to climb Sekkakuzan with him. The guide was very kind and took pictures and had Yokan for lunch, which was very good. Thinking that it was for studying Korean, we applied for a tour in Korean, but since we still couldn't speak well enough, our guide used his cell phone to translate and communicate in Korean and translation. I also wanted to use it. Thank you very much.

A must - you won’t regret it. I was lucky to book this 2 days in advance after a last minute decision. Everything ran smooth, jimmy was efficient, prepared and a great guide.

Mr. Kim was punctual and an absolute joy to converse with. I think we talked non-stop to/from Seoul. He had me laughing so much that I still smile when I think about that day. I look forward to booking him again the next time I am in SK! I am sure there is still plenty for us to chat about.😆 The weather was perfect and the hike was great. Do be prepared for the hundreds of steps and ensure you can handle the 3.8km trek and hundreds of steps up the incline to elevation!!!!

The tour was perfectly corresponding to the description ! It was such a great experience and discovery : first the landscape was outstanding, then our guide (Kim) was great. He knows perfectly the place, and let us walk at our own pace. Also he gave us the opportunity to discover South Korea culture and history, and explanation all along the trail, what I really appreciate. Transportation was very smooth, the road was beautiful and the timing was perfect. Communication for preparing hike and pick-up was easy. Thank you so much for this amazing day, we will never forget it !

The hiking guide/driver Mr Jimmy Nam is excellent. He drives carefully, very considerate, taking good care of us throughout the hike (almost 4.5 hr) as well as the 2-way drive to/from Seoul to Seoraksan National Park (more than 200 km each way). We unreservedly recommend Jimmy to be your hiking guide for hiking trips in Korea.

This hike is best suited for experienced hikers, but it was absolutely worth the effort! We explored a beautiful temple, drank fresh water from a grotto, took a scenic cable car ride, and met fellow travelers from around the world along the trail. Our guide, Mr. Kim, was outstanding—friendly, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared insights about Korean history, local plants and wildlife, and even explained how traffic and transportation systems work in the area. He made the day both educational and fun. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a deeper cultural and natural experience in Korea!

The Ulsanbawi hike in Seoraksan National Park was wonderful and our guide, Jimmy was great. Would recommend this tour to anyone that loves the outdoors and likes hiking.

Mr. Kim was a fantastic guide! He is very knowledgeable about geology and trees. We enjoyed conversing with him about Korea and many other subjects. The Ulsanbawi hike was challenging but amazing hike! I highly recommend this trip even though it is a lot of driving.
