Description
We''ve organized a very special 4-day trip to beautiful Gumundo and Baekdo islands as we''ll have holiday on March 1st(the Independence Day)

These islands are located to the far South of the Korean peninsula, between Mainland and Jeju island.

The islands are famous in Korea for their breathtaking scenery and friendly people. Not many foreigners would ever get the chance to visit this part of the country, and indeed we may be the first to see this extraordinary place.

Gumundo Island is a 2 hour ferry ride from Yeosu city on the south coast of the peninsula and is a place where all Koreans want to visit in their lifetime. It is an island swamped in beauty and history, and it has a rugged, rocky coastline.

We will be able to watch both sunrise and sunset and partake in many activities including fishing and a three hour trekking with stunning views.

We will also take a 3 hour ferry ride around Baekdo island (meaning 100 islands). The small islands come in a variety of strange shapes, and the trip will prove to be fascinating. This will probably be the first time for most people to see surroundings like this as it is truly unique.

During the trip, we will also be able to tour round some of the interesting parts of the south of the mainland including  Naganeupsung (folk village where people still live).

So we hope that you don''t miss out this great chance!!

Cancellation Policy

The reason why we have these guidelines is because of the problems we've had in the past. Extra people would show up on the day of the trip and have to be turned away because there were no more seats available.
Organizing trips, hiring buses and the likes can be expensive, and if people don't turn up without paying it can add to the overall cost of the trip. So by depositing the money into the bank account we can guarantee seats and know who is definitely coming and reduce the overall cost of the trip for you.

If you have paid and would like a refund we have a three day policy. This policy is as follows:
3 days before the trip: Full refund (72 hours from departure time)
2 days before the trip: 50% refund(48 hours from the departure time)
1 day before the trip: 0% refund ( 24 hours or less from the departure time)
