Even your dream of flying can become true in Nami...

I gave you a brief introduction about Nami Island in my previous post((The heaven on earth- Nami island)).So in this post I'm going to tell you about Immigrating to Nami Island.Now,why I'm using the word Immigrating here? It's because years ago Nami Island declared its cultural independence and become Naminara Republic. You can read more about Naminara republic in my next posts.

To reach Nami island you must first reach to Gapyeong by a train,shuttle bus or a car.And then from there,there are 2 ways to immigrate to Nami.

One way is a 5 minute ferry ride,there are 9 ferries that serve the island.Some of them are aladdin,longquinxia,toyoma,Do-re-mi,gaudi,Islana and Mermaid..Each name has a beautiful story behind it.Now lets see how much it will cost to immigrate Nami in this way.

Regular 10000 Korean won
Foreigners 8000 Korean won
Special 4000 Korean won Visitor aged between 3 and 13
Visitors after 6:10pm(Dec-Mar)
Visitors after 7:10pm(Apr-Nov)

Ferry schedule

07:30-09:00 Every 30 mins after first ferry at 07:30(departure-Gapyeong wharf)
09:00-18:00 Every 10-20 mins
18:00-21:40 Every 30 mins until last ferry at 21:40(departure-Nami wharf)

Second way is flying.Actually it is done using zip wires.There is an 80m tower built in Gapyeong wharf and a 5m tower in Nami.Distance between Gapyeong wharf and Nami is 840m,and Nami zip wire is the longest in Asia.After a flight of 90 seconds you will land on Nami, and you will have to pay only 38000 Korean wons to full fill your dream of flying.

If you are a foreigner thinking about visiting Nami,there is a preferential program for foreigners.

Discounted admission charge (8000wons)
Exclusive FAST TRACK use of ferry
One free drink at guide lounge (Bookcafe.Snow cafe)
