About the guide

Hi, I’m SeoulAslan

I’m from Korea. I lived in Vietnam for six years and in Thailand for a year, so I know what it feels like to arrive somewhere and find that the useful information is in a language you can’t read.

I hike about twice a month. When a guide comes from my own walk, I say so. When it doesn’t, it’s based on official Korean sources.

Ranks 6 to 10 of Klook's most-booked travel products in Korea are the Nami Island All-in-One day tour (500K+ bookings), intercity express bus tickets (500K+), a private airport transfer at Incheon (300K+), a DMZ tour (300K+) and Korea train tickets (300K+). These are cumulative booking counters read on Klook's own pages on Oct 22, 2026. Ranks 1 to 5 are in Part 1, which ends with my own pick.

The method is the same as in Part 1. I searched "South Korea" on Klook (en-US), sorted by most booked, read the first three pages, and kept products rated 4.5 or higher with at least 1,000 reviews, one entry per attraction or product type. Klook sells several Nami Island tours, so I counted only the biggest. Ties on the rounded counter are ordered by review count. For each product below I reopened its page on the same day to read the current price and cancellation line. My one pick from the whole list, Everland, is in Part 1.

6. The Nami Island All-in-One day tour: 500K+ bookings

This is a guided day trip from Seoul to Nami Island that can add Alpaca World, a rail bike and the Garden of Morning Calm, depending on the package. Klook rates it 4.8 from 34.8K reviews, with English and Chinese guides, groups of 1 to 43, and a listed length of 9 to 13 hours. The price starts at US$43.15. The packages range from Nami Island only to combinations such as Alpaca World + Nami + Railbike, which Klook tags as a best seller. On Oct 22 the page listed free cancellation with 24 hours' notice.

You do not need a tour to see Nami Island. The ferry crossing from Gapyeong Wharf takes about 5 minutes, and the adult admission of 19,000 won already includes the round trip, as we checked on Oct 6. Our Nami Island ferry guide has the ferry times and how to reach Gapyeong Station by train. What the tour sells is the bundle: the other stops in one day, with the transport arranged.

If the extra stops are the reason you are going, Klook's itinerary has you leaving Seoul around 9:00 and the island stop from 11:20, with the schedule open to traffic and weather (Nami Island All-in-One tour on Klook).

7. Intercity express bus tickets: 500K+ bookings

Klook's intercity express bus page sells tickets for buses between Korean cities, and rates 4.8 from 5.6K reviews. Its route list shows Seoul Express Bus Terminal to Busan Central Bus Terminal at 4 hours 30 minutes, with departures from 06:00 to 23:59, from US$22.65. Klook says you board with a QR code and skip the ticket-counter queue. One notice on the page matters: Klook says new reservations open around the 15th of each month.

For Seoul to Busan, compare it with the train before you buy. Klook's own rail page lists Seoul Station to Busan Station at 2 hours 49 minutes, which is 1 hour 41 minutes less than the bus, and its Seoul to Busan KTX listing was US$45.09 on Oct 22, against the bus from US$22.65. The bus is the cheaper way and the train is the faster way. Our KTX booking guide and the Busan day trip guide show the train side.

If the bus is your pick, Klook shows the departure times and the fare for your route before you pay (Korea intercity express bus on Klook).

8. The Incheon airport private transfer: 300K+ bookings

This is a private car from Incheon International Airport to your hotel, or back. Klook rates it 4.7 from 68.9K reviews, tags it a bestseller, and shows "from US$36.75". It is not one fixed product. The link opens Klook's airport-transfers page, where you choose airport pick-up or drop-off, enter the flight arrival time and the number of passengers, and then see the prices.

It is not worth it for everyone. The AREX all-stop train costs 4,750 won from Terminal 1 with a T-money card, and a regular taxi to central Seoul by day runs roughly 50,000 to 75,000 won with the toll, according to our Incheon Airport to Seoul guide. A fixed-price private car is for a group, heavy luggage or a late landing, when you want a driver waiting. Our AREX comparison covers the train options.

If you want the price fixed before you land, Klook's page lets you search by flight number or arrival time (Airport transfers on Klook).

9. The DMZ tour: 300K+ bookings

The Demilitarized Zone is the buffer strip along the border with North Korea, north of Seoul. Klook's DMZ listing is rated 4.9 from 47.5K reviews, lasts about 5 hours, and costs US$50.00. The listing names Imjingak Park, the Third Infiltration Tunnel and the DMZ Exhibition Hall, plus an observatory with binoculars toward North Korea. It also says that visitors from countries restricted from the JSA (Panmunjom) can still join, because of the other stops. The tour offers English, Chinese and Japanese, hotel pick-up as an option, a guaranteed departure and free cancellation with 24 hours' notice.

Read the option you pick. The page sells a DMZ-only join-in tour with a North Korean defector meet-up, versions that add the Gamaksan or Majang Lake suspension bridge, a private tour, and a Monday-only Starbucks option. Klook also notes that some attractions may be skipped for capacity or weather, so the stops you see on the day can differ from the list. It is one of several DMZ tours on Klook, and we have no DMZ guide of our own yet, so the listing is the source for what is included.

If a DMZ day fits your plan, Klook's page has the options, the 5-hour itinerary and the free cancellation with 24 hours' notice in one place (DMZ tour on Klook).

10. Korea train tickets: 300K+ bookings

This is Klook's rail ticket page for trains in Korea, rated 4.8 from 2.1K reviews. Klook's rail page calls itself an official Korail partner and lists Seoul Station to Busan Station at 2 hours 49 minutes, with tickets that go on your phone. A separate Klook listing for Seoul to Busan KTX was US$45.09 on Oct 22.

For high-speed trains, Korail's own English site comes first. It needs no sign-up, takes Visa, Mastercard and UnionPay, and listed Seoul to Busan in standard class at 54,400 won when we checked on Sept 30, with sales opening two months ahead at 07:00 Korea time. Our KTX booking guide walks through it. The K-Tour Pass also gives a 40% code that works on Klook train bookings to Busan, covered in the K-Tour Pass guide.

Klook is the alternative when you would rather pay in your own currency on a page that also sells your other tickets (Korea train tickets on Klook).

FAQ

Do I need a tour to visit Nami Island?

No. The ferry from Gapyeong Wharf takes about 5 minutes and the 19,000 won adult admission includes the round trip. The Klook tour bundles the other stops and the transport.

When do Klook's intercity bus reservations open?

Klook's bus page says new reservations open around the 15th of each month. Check the page for the month you are traveling.

Does the Klook DMZ tour include a North Korean defector talk?

It is one of the options on the listing. The DMZ-only join-in tour, and the versions with a suspension bridge, list a North Korean defector meet-up in the itinerary.

Is a private airport transfer cheaper than a taxi?

Not by default. Klook's price starts at US$36.75, while a metered daytime taxi to central Seoul runs roughly 50,000 to 75,000 won with the toll. A private car mainly fixes the price and the pick-up in advance.
