He took time to ask us about our hiking preference/goals and created a perfect plan for us. We hiked by a mountain stream, visited a Buddhist temple (where we wrote out our dreams for the upcoming g celebration), and hiked to the peak of the mountain where we enjoyed an amazing lunch Jimmy had brought for us. The conversation was great and Jimmy made sure we had water and rest breaks. We highly recommend Jimmy!”

“Great tour, the guide (Henry) was very kind and knowledgable!

If you’re into hiking and have some extra time I would recommend researching going up Mount Hallasan on your own (8-9 hours there and back) as the short ascent that the tours entails isn’t super impressive. Otherwise the sights were nice, particularly Jusangjeolli cliff (we had beautiful weather and were quite tempted to swim in the lovely water, I don’t know if it would have been allowed though haha), the marvellous Buddhist…”
