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.

Why you'll love this trip

  • Cycle along the famous Four Rivers Bike Path – the most famous and scenic trail of South Korea’s amazing bike path network.
  • Experience the diverse nature of Seoul, from the neon lights to the quiet paths – not to mention a visit to the infamous DMZ (Demilitarized Zone).
  • Ride along the stunning shoreline of the East Sea – this is possibly the most picturesque road in all of Korea!
  • Take some time off the bike and share life experiences with a North Korean refugee in Sokcho.
  • Enjoy a unique night ride on the street of laidback Gyeongju, soaking in the history long after the last tourist has gone home.
