Took my parents and younger bro on this trip and it was honestly EPIC. We lucked out with the weather (sunny but not murder-hot) and our guide, Haejin, was super chill and cracked jokes all day. Nami Island is suuuper cute—those tree-lined paths! We rented bikes (def do that if u don’t wanna walk forever). Seorak Mountain was a bit crowded but the cable car views were wild. Packed snacks and was glad I did since the food stalls at Seorak had huge lines. Heads up: bring bug spray for the hike. Would totally do this again!

Went solo b/c my friends bailed, but didn’t regret it. Guide was friendly, group was a mixed bunch—families, some couples. Nami Island in the morning was really peaceful, but it got PACKED after 11am. Seorak is stunning, but ngl the steps up to the observatory are a workout so wear good shoes. It rained a bit in the afternoon but still got amazing pics. Wish we had 30 more mins at the mountain but overall, worth it.

The flight was very exciting and the views were spectacular. Our pilot was so professional and friendly. All the staff were there courteous and helpful. This is the only way to view the magnificent Grand Canyon. We flew during the noon hour but plan to return one day and fly late afternoon to see how the colors of the canyon might change. Thank you for a wonderful adventure. We loved it!!!!

Family trip with two kids (7 and 10). Guide was AMAZING with the kids, kept them entertained with games on the bus. Nami Island is a kid’s paradise, ducks everywhere. Seorak Mountain was a bit tiring for the little one but cable car saved the day. Pack extra water!

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh. FYI: lots of walking/hiking involved. The guide, Jamie, was great with keeping everyone together and sharing random facts. Bus was comfy. Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

Just got back from this tour with my bestie and we’re tired but happy. Nami Island is cute and photogenic, just be ready for crowds. Seorak Mountain is the real deal, especially the cable car ride. Bring cash for snacks. Guide was nice but group was big so felt a bit impersonal.

Went with my boyfriend and we loved it! The bus ride out of Seoul is kinda long but our guide put on kpop and made it fun. Nami Island was straight out of a movie—saw a bunch of squirrels and even a white peacock (??). Seorak was a highlight, especially the cable car, but warning: it gets windy up top, hold ur hat! We grabbed lunch at one of the local places near the base—oodles of noodles. 100% recommend for a day escape from the city.

Did this trip with my partner. Weather was HOT, so bring sunscreen and a hat. Nami Island is really something else, all those tall trees and birds. We skipped the bike rental but kinda wish we hadn’t, it’s bigger than it looks. Seorak Mountain hike was doable, not too steep. Only thing: bus AC wasn’t strong, so ride back was sweaty. Still a really good day.

Good evening ! Please remove a doubt from me: I booked for myself and my friend for a year from now, April 20, 2026....but I received two satisfaction surveys for April 20...2025. 5 days ago. Is there an error on your part? or mine within the date indicated during my purchase? And if so, is it possible to arrange this?... I hope I haven't wasted your time :( Thank you in advance, I remain available of course. Very good night to you!

We are a family of five (children aged 9, 13, 14) and enjoyed the helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon very much. The team at Papillon was very professional and nice and eveything worked perfectly. Big shout out to our pilot Brian for making this such a memorable experience!

The scenery is magnificent, but our biggest regret is that it's impossible to take photos on the skywalk, as phones and cameras are forbidden, so the only way to get a souvenir is to pay $25 a photo. Really expensive!

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh. FYI: lots of walking/hiking involved. The guide, Jamie, was great with keeping everyone together and sharing random facts. Bus was comfy. Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

Loved this trip! Went with my boyfriend. Nami Island was a fairytale with the cherry blossoms. Seorak hike was hard but worth it for the view. Guide was super enthusiastic.

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

Hopping on the chopper was the best experience of my life. I am usually a little giddy up in the air, but the pilot and co-pilot were super friendly and helped distracting me.

The ticketing experience was bad. The $717 charge didn't go through the first time I tried. When I did get it to work I was charged $838, instead of the $717. Still waiting for a credit.
