Explore Nami Island or Namiseom (남이섬) in South Korea, one of the best tourist destinations near Seoul, with this ultimate guide for a day full of fun!

About Nami Island

Located near Seoul, Nami Island is a beautiful island that is among the most popular attractions in South Korea. The island is located in Gapyeong (가평), around 1-2 hours from Seoul. 

The island features beautiful tree lanes, woodlands, riverside walks, and many more! It is the perfect place for nature lovers, which offers picture-perfect scenery all year round. 

Nami Island is officially called the Naminara Republic and it is an independent island-nation with its own flag and currency. It is a half-moon shaped isle that was formed as a result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam.

Best Time to Visit Nami Island

Well, to be very truthful, there is no ‘best time’ to visit Nami Island. There’s always something special for everyone, no matter the season. 

Spring

The island becomes a blooming wonderland! Trees and spring flowers start to bloom, and you can even see the much-coveted cherry blossoms from early to mid-April. The air is crisp and refreshing with pleasantly mild weather. 

Summer

Season of summer welcomes the lush greenery to the island. You can relax and take a stroll along the beautiful tree lanes among pine trees and redwoods. With on-and-off showers, the summer is hot and humid. 

Autumn

Just like anywhere else in Korea, you can enjoy the fall foliage across the Naminara Republic from mid-September to November. Reed beds on the riverside are also another enjoyable site during fall. Weather is finally cool and dry with clear skies to enjoy all outdoor activities. 

Winter

Nami Island has become a famous winter romantic destination after its foray as filming location into Korean romance drama like ‘Winter Sonata (2002)’. During winters, all you can see is tall, white birch trees and snow-covered tree lanes. It is like a magical wonderland right out of a fairytale! Weather is much colder in January, and there’s snowfall around late November. 

What’s the Best Way to Go to Nami Island?

You can reach Nami Island from Seoul by using public transport. Though the Korean transportation system is a bit tricky, it is still the cheapest way to travel. You also have an option to book a tour via any of the travel sites, and they will take care of the transportation. If you are self-driving, then you can use KAKAO Maps or Naver Maps for the best navigation in the country.

There are two ways to get to Nami Island – a ferry from Gapyeong Ferry Wharf or zip-lining.

It is inaccessible by land transport because it’s an island obviously!! And if you are feeling more adventurous, you can also get there via a zip-wire run by Nami Skyline Zip Wire. The zip-line is only a one-way trip, and you’ll have to return via ferry. 

Naminara Republic Visa includes entrance fees and ferry fare, and it costs 13,000 won. Skyline zip-wire costs 44,000 won including the entrance fee. You can also opt for a Passport of Naminara Republic for 45,000 won which offers unlimited access to Naminara Republic for 1 year.

There are so many amazing sights and attractions on Namiseom that it is difficult to see them all out in a single visit. To help you make the most of your trip, we’ve narrowed them down in our ultimate guide to the top 5 must-visit walking paths in Nami Island.

White Birch Lane

It is also known as Tulip Tree Lane and it runs about 300 meters long along the south-eastern shore. The cortexes of white birches are bright enough to serenely enlighten the lane even when it is dark. The flowers of these trees resemble tulips, and hence the name.
