Overview

The DMZ area is the closest district to North Korea. This is primarily held in the Imjingak peace park where you can see the freedom bridge and Mangbaedan.

Then move to Dora observatory where you can take a glimpse look at North Korea. Weather permitting, you can observe North Korea through a telescope.

The last stop will be the 3rd tunnel, which you will have the opportunity to enter the tunnel made by North Korean soldiers on foot.

This tour is ideal for those interested in experiencing a unique glimpse into North Korea and the DMZ region..

We might need to take a DMZ shuttle at the Imjingak Park to enter the DMZ area by the government policy if less than 30 customers or all the spaces are taken.

Recognised as a 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best experience, this DMZ tour ranks among the top 1% of activities worldwide, based on consistently excellent traveller reviews.
