Private Day Tour: Haemi Fortress & Folk Village from Daesan

Step inside one of Korea's best-preserved Joseon-era fortresses, then wander a living folk village where centuries-old traditions breathe. A private expert guide brings every stone and story to life on your terms.

What to expect

Your private guide and vehicle collect you dockside and whisk you to Haemi Eupseong — a rare, intact 15th-century stone fortress encircling a charming town. You'll walk the rampart walls, explore the Joseon-era government offices and the martyr shrine commemorating Korea's Catholic persecution history. After lunch at a local restaurant (not tourist-facing), the guide leads you through a traditional folk village where craftspeople demonstrate pottery, weaving, and fermented-food culture. The return journey is timed precisely to your all-aboard.

Good to know

Haemi is approx. 40 min from Daesan port by private car — very manageable. Book at least 2 weeks ahead; request a guide specialising in Joseon history. Confirm all-aboard time with your guide the morning of the excursion.
