Cycle South Korea

Take a cycling adventure through South Korea and see all the highlights (and lesser-known spots) from the perspective of two wheels. While you’re staying active, you’ll ride through Seoul, the seaside city of Gangneung, Sokcho, Gyeongju and Busan and discover the Four Rivers Bike Path with a group of likeminded travellers and a local leader to watch your back and show you the fun secret spots. Visit the famed DMZ and soak up Korea’s interesting history, tuck into delicious local cuisine like hotpot and barbeque, see riverside towns and countryside roads and stay in a glamping park where you’ll get stuck into traditional South Korean culture. Then, travel along the coastline, relax on golden sands and spend free afternoons walking along park trails or taking nighttime river cruises. Visit the Daereungwon Royal Tombs on an evening cycle, ride on a fast train and deep dive into K-pop culture (if the heart desires!) – what better way to see South Korea like a local. This is a new trip for 2025 and while every aspect of the trip has been meticulously researched there may be times when small adjustmenst to the itinerary are necessary., While the cycling distances on this trip are relatively short (anywhere from 10 to 50 km (6 to 34 mi) the terrain of South Korea varies from flat to hilly, and the climate can vary dramatically. Most people with a reasonable level of fitness will enjoy the trip, but you’ll always have the support vehicle on hand if you need to take a break for an hour or a day., To complete this trip, it is important that you are confident and competent in riding a bicycle, both solo and in a group environment., While we often ride to our next accommodation, outside of the main cities a support vehicle will also be with you at all times. Please note that the maximum number of cyclists we can fit in the support vehicle is six., On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a backmarker where needed)., If you feel like doing all the riding but with less effort, we have the option of hiring an electric bike (e-bike) on this trip.
