Few travelers make it here. We keep our groups small on purpose, so you get closer access, a more personal experience with your guide, and the space to let this place actually sink in. What You'll Experience Descend into the 2nd Infiltration Tunnel — dug through solid granite by North Korea and discovered in 1975. Then head to the observation deck for an unobstructed view straight into North Korea. Sit down for a healthy Korean lunch — seasonal vegetable bibimbap, naturally plant-based and vegan-friendly. End the day on the Han-tan River Y-shaped suspension bridge — 410 meters long, Korea's longest — with the gorge and river spread out below. Passport required for all DMZ tours. Tours operate rain or shine. DMZ access is subject to military regulations and may change without notice.
