The Third Tunnel

A stop not to be missed on our itinerary is the Third Tunnel, also known as the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, or the Third Tunnel of Aggression. Located 12 kilometres away from Munsan and 52 from Seoul, the tunnel was discovered in 1978. Its purpose was to be used to invade the south. At 1,635 meters long, 2 meters high and 2 wide, the tunnel has the capacity of moving an entire division per hour! The curious fact here is that when the tunnel was discovered, North Korea alleged that the south had built it for a surprise attack, but evidence points to the contrary. Walking through will feel like you’ve stepped back in time! If you aren’t comfortable with closed spaces, you’re welcome to wait by the exit.Read moreMore about The Third Tunnel

Dora Observatory

Dora Observatory, rebuilt in 2018, offers South Korea’s closest view of North Korea, established in 1986. Sitting at the top of Dorasan, the Observatory is ideal for looking across the border. This is the part closest to the North and is one of travellers’ favourite highlights on the tour! Use the high-powered binoculars on the third floor for extra precision. You will be able to see the North’s propaganda village (Kijong-dong) located right inside the DMZ and see as far as Kaesong City, the ninth-largest city in North Korea. If you’re lucky to be here on a clear day, you’ll get to see the bronze statue of Kim Il-sung, too! Hear faint border loudspeakers and feel wind whip through pines. The DMZ’s divide feels raw. Travelers love this stunning perspective. So come and stand on history’s edge during your DMZ tour from Seoul for a jaw-dropping glimpse across the border.Read moreMore about Dora Observatory
