South Korea remains quite a mystery for many travellers from New Zealand. Not as well-known as Japan and without the iconic sites of China, a tour of South Korea is for many something of a step into the unknown.
A holiday to South Korea therefore offers the chance to experience a destination rarely visited by Kiwi travellers.
Despite remaining off the popular tourist trail, South Korea is a dream destination – an intriguing, welcoming nation which seamlessly combines the conveniences of modernity with a deep reverence for their remarkable 5000-year-old cultural heritage.
Almost all holidays to South Korea begin in Seoul, South Korea's bustling capital city. Experience the old and new and make a visit to the DMZ and the border with the North. Culture buffs will want to make Gyeongju high on the list whilst outdoor lovers will enjoy Seoraksan and Jeju Island.
