Before you book
Is the Sokcho Gourmet Tour worth it from the Sokcho cruise port?
Three hours of taxi service through Sokcho's food spots: the central market, the hand-pulled Gaetbae ferry to Abai Village, and cafes by Sokcho Beach. Best for: A party of up to 4 who want a driver between the eating spots and do not need a guide.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 5 hours. The tour runs 3 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. 180 minutes plus 90 minutes is 4.5 hours. A 5-minute taxi each way to the express bus terminal, rounded to half an hour, makes it 5 hours. It fits any Sokcho call.
Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
