Navigation and booking
Getting there
Cheongnyangni → ITX-Cheongchun to Gapyeong (about 42 minutes in Nami’s official guide) → local bus or taxi to the mainland wharf (about 5 minutes driving, waiting extra) → about 5 minutes by ferry. Search for 남이섬 매표소/선착장, not the island’s postal address.
Getting back
Island wharf → regular ferry → Gapyeong mainland wharf → bus or taxi → Gapyeong Station → your booked ITX to Cheongnyangni. Check the ferry and train together before boarding. As a planning buffer, start heading to the island wharf at least 60 minutes before your train; allow more for crowds or weather.
Round-trip time allowance
Allow an editorial 3–4 hours for round-trip travel, transfers and waiting from Cheongnyangni. Add 3–4 hours on the island: roughly 6–8 hours total, or 4½–6 hours for the short visit. Accommodation↔Cheongnyangni is extra; missed connections take longer.
Budget · one adult
From Cheongnyangni: admission + return ITX KRW 30,400 + station↔wharf allowance KRW 10,000–20,000 + food/drink KRW 15,000–25,000 = KRW 55,400–75,400. The last two items are editorial allowances for one person using taxis or other local transport, not fixed fares or verified menu prices. Accommodation transfers and activities extra; add KRW 2,400 from Yongsan. Confirm the final fare when booking.
