Horse riding experience

Today we had a horseback riding day. The group signed up for a two-hour ride, and we specially chose a place where it’s possible not only to ride at a walk, but also, if riders feel comfortable, try a more active pace. All participants were beginners, so first there was a short lesson at the stable — around 20–30 minutes. Everyone got to know the horses, got used to being in the saddle, learned the basics, and then we headed out into the fields. Safety at Korean riding stables is taken very seriously. Everyone was provided with full riding equipment: helmets, special riding pants, boots, and gloves. Many Korean stables also use comfortable beginner saddles with a large front handle, which makes the first riding experience easier and more comfortable. I also want to mention that thanks to this safety system, a great instructor, and constant translation and support, everything went very smoothly. I have been involved in the horse world myself for many years, so I always accompany participants during the ride, translate everything the instructor says, and if any questions come up during the ride or someone needs help understanding how to work with the horse in a certain situation, I can explain everything in Russian right there on the spot. This is especially important for people who worry about the language barrier or have never ridden before. In the end, the group tried not only walking, but also trot and canter. And one of the first things everyone mentioned was how calm, responsive, and well-behaved the horses were. We always try to work only with trusted stables and good horses, so it turned into a really great day with lots of emotions and memories.

Whole Korea trip, 7 days

This tour turned out to be very lively and probably one of the most emotional ones for us. In one week we traveled through three completely different Koreas together: busy and modern Seoul, historical Gyeongju, and seaside Busan. It even turned into a little bit of an alcohol tour haha 😄 We tried local drinks, Korean food, and got to know not only tourist Korea, but also its evening and nightlife atmosphere. We had lots of fun together, walked a lot, relaxed and enjoyed the trip. I really love tours like this — when not only photos remain, but also the feeling that we lived a small separate life together for this week ❤️

We went on a horseback riding tour with Svetlana and absolutely loved it! Before the trip she asked us about our preferences and interests and put together a perfect program for us, choosing the location and even the place for lunch based on what we would enjoy most. Since we don’t speak Korean or English, Svetlana even offered to walk alongside us during the ride just to make sure everything was clear and interesting for us. In the end they found a horse for her as well, which made everything much easier, but her willingness not to leave her guests alone was really touching. Afterwards we had a traditional dinner that we probably would never have tried on our own, and we discovered that grilled intestines and even blood sausage can actually be very delicious! Thanks to Svetlana we learned a lot of interesting things not only about horses and local food, but also about Jeju Island itself. Highly recommended ❤️ (translated from Russian)

Nargiza, Russia

We went on a one-day diving trip as a small group of four people, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable days of our entire trip. The sea was warm and calm, and the dive itself was very comfortable even for those who were trying it for the first time. We especially liked the instructor. He was a local Korean, already older, but that actually made us feel even more confident. You could immediately tell he had a lot of experience - everything was calm, safe and very well organized. I would also like to thank Svetlana. She translated everything, explained each step of the process, answered all our questions and stayed with us the whole time. Because of that we felt completely relaxed and could simply enjoy the experience. The program was very thoughtfully organized, and after the dive we had a really delicious dinner. Thank you!

We spent two days exploring Jeju with Lana and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Korea. Everything felt very well organized, and we got to see places we definitely wouldn't have found on our own. Lana explained a lot about the island, local food and culture, which made the experience even more interesting. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a friend who knows the island really well.

Jeju Active Tour

We just finished another one of our tours. This time — Jeju Island. 7 days of a very active trip: horses, volcanic landscapes, ocean, and a lot of food experiences. The program turned out really good. The places, the experience, the atmosphere, the random interactions with locals. But honestly, the best part is always the people. Open, active, ready to try new things. Even those who traveled abroad for the first time. We’ve officially finished our autumn–winter season. Next tours will already be with swimming, beaches, and a completely different vibe.

Private shore ecxursion

Had such a fun group today! All adults, but honestly the most energetic and lively people. We ate really well, tried matcha, tasted the famous Jeju mandarins and hallabong, and picked out Korean skincare. Absolute fire grandmas🔥

3-days individual tour

We spent three days with a great, active couple and planned the itinerary in advance. On the third day, the weather forced us to adjust a few things, but we quickly adapted the plan. In the end, over those three days we visited tea plantations, volcanic cliffs, temples, the incredible Udo Island, rode bikes, met horses, ate amazing food - and so much more. The program turned out really well: active and full, but still at a comfortable pace. Everyone was very happy with the trip.

Private 1-day tour

Today I did a tour for two guests from a cruise, and honestly, we got incredibly lucky with the weather. On top of that, we caught the cherry blossoms - the bloom was slightly delayed, almost like it waited just for them. It was absolutely beautiful. This kind of weather really shows Jeju at its best: no wind, warm, super clean air, and the water had that unreal color you only see on perfect days. We hiked up a volcano and visited a few other stunning spots - everywhere we went was just wow. In the end, we all were genuinely impressed. And honestly, me too - even though I live here, I still catch myself seeing it all like it’s my first time and just being in awe of how beautiful Jeju is.

Big cruise tour

Today we had a tour, but it was unusual. For the first time, we had a very large group - more than 20 people. Honestly, I was a little nervous because it’s a big experience for us. We rented not just a regular vehicle, but a large bus for 30 people. We gave it our 100%, and the program turned out incredibly packed. Everyone was happy. Of course, working with such a big group has its own specifics: at some point, you feel like you’re being pulled in different directions - you want to answer every question, connect with everyone, and talk to each person a little, because everyone has a lot of questions. We really tried to give our 100%. Overall, it was a great experience, we gave it our all, and everything went perfectly. The group was very satisfied.

Private tour

Our tour has come to an end. It was our first long private trip with children - a full program built around the family and their pace. Private tours always feel a bit different. Everyone quickly finds their rhythm, plans can shift along the way, and the route naturally adapts to what people actually want in the moment. We genuinely enjoyed this one. We put a lot of effort into making it smooth, comfortable, and interesting for everyone - including the kids. The itinerary turned out great: Jeju Island, Busan, smaller towns in the east, Gangneung, and Seoul. They saw a big part of Korea, tried a lot of local food, found their favorites, and experienced the country the way people here actually spend their time. We really enjoyed it.

Horseback riding

A couple came for a horseback riding trip. Both were beginners. In this regard, everything is very well done for beginners in Korea: safety is paramount, they provide all the necessary equipment, and everything is strictly done according to safety regulations. We went to the stables and met the kind Jeju horses. The route was about an hour long, through a picturesque forest, very beautiful, near Hallasan.

Shore excursion

We climbed the volcano and saw the Haenyeo divers. We were very lucky with the weather! It's mid-March, but it's already summer-like warm. We had a delicious lunch and even stumbled upon the set of a Korean drama.
