Looking back at the October island route

An official Korea Tourism Organization travel listing described a Gunsan Twelve-Island Trail trekking product for 1–30 October 2026. It named Bangchukdo, Gwangdaedo, Myeongdo, Bonongdo and Maldo, along with limousine-bus transport. This historical listing does not establish that every departure covered all five islands—or that the same tour can be booked today.

A trip shaped by sea conditions

Check the current organizer and ferry schedules for the departure port, return crossing, inter-island connections and the islands included on each date. Ask about walking difficulty, food and water, weather-related ferry cancellations and refund rules before paying.

Planning a visit now

Treat the October offer as an archive. Confirm present-day sailings, trail access and any newly announced products independently before planning a trip.

What we're seeing

The appeal lies in experiencing both the islands and their sea connections. Keep the historic promotional offer separate from present-day travel options.

What we still don't know

As of November 2026, a new booking window, ferry and inter-island operation, current fares, departures and refund conditions have not been independently verified.
