Description:

Explore the wonders of the sea at Seoul's COEX Aquarium, then cruise along the picturesque Han River. Visit the ancient Bongeunsa, a temple sporting a 75-foot (23-m) stone statue of Maitreya Buddha.

Begin with a pickup from your hotel, then explore the spectacular COEX Aquarium. On a vivid display, follow the journey that water takes from the high Andean mountains through the tropical rainforest to swamps, rivers, seashores, and finally the depths of the ocean. Witness the magnificence of 40,000 sea creatures. Enjoy Fish in Wonderland, where fish swim through traffic lights and use computers and washing machines.

Next, board a leisurely cruise on the scenic Han River while listening to soothing music and enjoying a scenic view of the cityscape. Your final stop is the iconic Bongeunsa, a temple built during the reign of King Wonseong. Marvel at the intricate scriptures decorating the walls and view the multiple miniature golden Buddha's before heading back to your hotel.
