Korea’s West Coast Food Tour

Goodmate ORIGINAL

Travel the local way

Trade the Seoul checklist for a coastline most travelers never see. This 3-day small-group tour takes you two hours west to Boryeong. Wander the market stalls, tour the only brewery in town, dig your own clams straight out of the mud, and turn them into the noodles you eat for lunch. It's a trip built around good food, good people, and a coast that's easy to fall for.

An Unique Itinenary

SEP to NOV 2026

Two hours west of Seoul is a coastline that rarely makes it onto a traveler's map, and it's where a good chunk of Seoul's seafood actually comes from. Over three days, you'll graze a market that's been open since 1929, tour the only brewery in town with the local who brews it, and sit down to a shellfish tower by the beach as the sun goes down. Somewhere in the middle, you'll dig your own clams and turn them into the noodles you eat for lunch, just to understand exactly where the meal started. It's a trip built around good food, good people, and a coast that's easy to fall for.

What Our Travelers Say

“I cannot recommend Goodmate Travel enough! This trip was a life changing experience! First time ever traveling solo with a group of people I had never met. What an amazing experience. We had so much fun together, saw so many beautiful places. Ate a lot of delicious food.

If you want to get a first impression of South Korea, like I wanted to. This is seriously the trip for you. Small group, fun and caring tourguides and amazing itinerary.

I cannot recommend Goodmate Travel enough. I actually booked my second trip with them 3 weeks after I came back!”
