Highlights
  • Nami Island - Namiseom (Nami Island) is a curious place. The island is shaped like a half-moon. The formation was triggered by the building of the Cheongpyeong Dam thanks to the North Han River. The name comes from General Nami. He was the hero who helped Korea win against the rebels in the 13th year of King Sejo – the 7th king of the Joseon Dynasty. The natural beauty here was preserved by making sure that there aren’t any telephone polls visible – all electric wires are deep underground.
  • Nami Island - It’s no secret that people in Korea love a good meal. On our Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm tour, you will have the chance to eat like a local! We will treat you to Dak Galbi – a spicy dish where chicken is stir-fried in a gochujang-based sauce with cabbage, scallions, perilla leaves, sweet potatoes, and tteok (rice cake).
  • Garden of Morning Calm - The Garden of Morning Calm is the oldest private garden in South Korea, opened way back on May 11th, 1996, by horticultural professor Sang-kyung Han.

Since then, the garden has been an in-demand filming location for movies, including The Letter (1997), dramas like the popular Love in the Moonlight (2016) and even the famous Korean variety show Infinite Challenge. So as you stroll along the scenic paths, you’ll find yourself on the set of some of Korea’s popular on-screen productions.

The founder’s vision for the Garden of Morning Calm was to create an artistic space that captured Korea’s unique beauty and spirit. He achieved this by creating 20 different themed sections comprising 5,000 plants, of which 300 are native varieties of Baekdu Mountain (known for being a spiritual mountain to Koreans).

Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm - My class had a great outing with VIP Travel and our wonderful guide Kelly Lee to visit Nami Island and the Garden of Morning Calm. Some of our group traveled to Nami Island by Zip Wire and others took the ferry. We enjoyed walking and biking around and had a delicious chicken lunch. In the afternoon we visited the beautiful and were amazed by the wonderful flowers, trees, and displays. This was a relaxing and peaceful day in our journey. Highly recommend and Kelly is the best. Jenny Chun was helpful with our reservations. Great day with VIP Travel.

Beautiful Nami Island, Morning Calm Garden, & Kelly - How. Lucky. Am. I? Not only did I get to see two of the most beautiful locations in Korea, we got to have Kelly as our guide again! The beautiful shore of Nami island is rivaled only by the supreme knowledge of our guide, Kelly. Don't miss these two locations because they have been my favorite spots in Korea

Nami with Kelly ! - Kelly is the best tour guide! As an American law student, I do not speak Korean, but it was not a problem with Kelly as the guide. She speaks wonderful English. Also, she participated in all the events, so she was better than a tour guide.
