Is this trip right for you?
verified
This is a new trip for 2025 and while every aspect of the trip has been meticulously researched there maay be times when small adjustmenst to the itinerary are necessary.
verified
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.
verified
To complete this trip, it is important that you are confident and competent in riding a bicycle, both solo and in a group environment.
verified
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.
verified
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).
verified
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. Limited sizes are available so book quickly!
Itinerary
Cycle South Korea’s world-class bike paths from the rivers and beaches to the city streets
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.

Important notes
verified
1. It is very important that you provide your height at time of booking so we can ensure that you have the appropriate sized bicycle when your trip starts. If you do not provide your height ahead of arrival we cannot guarantee a suitably sized bike for you.
verified
2. A single supplement is possible if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information. The supplement does not include Day 3 at the Gapyeong Glamping Park.
verified
3. While we usually ride to our next accommodation, outside of the main cities a support vehicle will also be with you at all times possible (excluding some bike-only paths). Please note that the maximum number of cyclists we can fit in the support vehicle is 6.
verified
4. An typically Korean 'fold-up' e-bike option (at additional cost) may be available on this trip. We have limited numbers of these bikes available, and they are an 'on request' basis only.
verified
5. Bike helmets are compulsory on this trip. Please ensure you bring your own bike helmet from home. Helmets can be purchased locally if needed.
verified
6. On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back-marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back-marker.
verified
7. In the months of October and April many festivals and events take place in Korea. While these are great to witness they do on occassions affect the routes we plan to ride - alternate routes will be followed should the original route be blocked or the riding expected to be significantly delayed.
