FAQ

How far in advance should I book the Tanguisson tour?

Check the weather forecast close to your trip. We rescheduled a week before due to a rain forecast. Contact the operator early if you need to change dates.

Can I rent a car on-site?

Yes, but during peak season vehicles may not be available. Booking from Korea in advance is strongly recommended.

Sunset or night version — which is better?

For families with young children, the sunset version is ideal. The nighttime version ends late, and the sunset itself is stunning enough.
