    Heenam was amazing! He was so friendly, respectful and tried to cater for everyone's needs. The whole group loved him and we all felt safe and secure with him. He spent his own free time helping us where he could and I cannot praise his hard work enough. He truly was amazing and made us have such a great holiday! It would not have been the same without him and his dedication to making sure we all had what we needed. Thank you so

    Will you let me know the time for the Dinner on the first evening so i can book the flight to get there in plenty of time

    Renee

    Asked on August 7th, 2025

    I have a lady travelling by herself who really wants to see the Cherry blossom areas in South Korea. At this time (March) will this tour spend some time chasing the blossom?

    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten August 2025

      The cherry blossoms will be everywhere in South Korea and Seoul, so she'll be able to venture to the parks in the city to see them.

    Alexis

    Asked on July 14th, 2025

    Is the flight back to Seoul still included if we extend stay in Jeju and take the flight 4 days later? If the tour finishes on the 18th July, can we fly to Seoul on the 22nd or 23rd instead?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      Yes, the flight from Jeju to Seoul is included in the trip price. If they would like to extend their time in Jeju and fly back later, that is not a problem and our team can arrange the flight accordingly. It is important to note they would need to make their own way to Jeju Airport before the flight. We would need to know in advance to the tour when they would like to travel to Seoul, so our team can arrange the flights. If they require any additional accommodation in Jeju, we can also arrange this.

  • J

    Jeff

    Asked on July 13th, 2025

    On the 10 day tour for South Korea with the last stop in jeju followed by a flight back to Seoul, if we stay longer on jeju can we delay the included flight back to Seoul?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      If you would like to spend a few extra nights in Jeju and have your flight scheduled for a different day, then we can definitely organise that for you. If needed, we can book you additional nights on the island too. Please bear in mind, that if you postpone your stay on the island, you would need to arrange your own airport transfer on Jeju though.

    • J

      Jeff

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      We would be looking to have another 4 nights on Jeju with our flight back to Seoul on the 22nd. Please will you give me some costs for the extra nights with hotel options. I would like a hotel with a pool by the beach in jeju.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      The hotel we use on our trips in Jeju is the The Grand Sumorum. It's a 4-star hotel with a pool.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      For the Grand Sumorum Hotel in Jeju, the post-trip nights are priced at $305 NZD per night, per room.

    Debbie

    Asked on June 19th, 2025

    Are there any age restrictions for your tours? My husband and I are over 75 and want to know if we can join a tour to Korea.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      Our recommended age limit is 18-75, but we can sometimes be flexible. We have a tour suitability form to assess if the trip would be a good fit for you. The 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure generally attracts a more mature demographic and has less focus on influencer-style tourism.

    Chris

    Asked on June 17th, 2025

    What is the price : $4859 or 5462? I am a solo female traveller. Do you upgrade free for single room supplement if you don't have another solo woman to share a room?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      Our 16th October price in AUD is AUD5381. If we have an odd number of male or female travellers then sometimes you may get the opportunity to have your own room. This is usually rotated with single travellers of that gender to make it fair. You can of course pay to upgrade to a single room should you not want to share.

    Carrie

    Asked on June 11th, 2025

    we're thinking Mar-Apr-May 2026. So far just the 2 of us, but I'm asking my friends (2-4 more?) to possibly join us. They're interested in Korea too.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      The trip price includes all accommodation and transport within the tour, including the Jeju-Seoul flight at the end of the tour, guiding and most of the activities. Standard accommodation includes shared twin rooms in 4-5-star hotels. If you are travelling as a couple, we can room you together. There is also the option to upgrade your room to single room capacity, for anyone who doesn't fancy sharing a room. Some of the food is included during the tour, including breakfast at the hotels, 4 lunches and 4 dinners. The food is also included during the visit to the temple which will be vegetarian food.
