hi, my name is Dyana, I've plan to visit Jeju and Seoul next July.
Please help me to answer this:
1. I'll arrive at Incheon airport on 8.30AM, and then I'll go to Gimpo airport for my flight to Jeju. There are 2 flights Jeju air on 12.20PM and Eastar Jet on 1.35PM. What do u think guys? If I buy Jeju air ticket, do u think I can catch it? I'm afraid that the immigration process will take a long time. Please advise. :)
2. I've several places to go at Jeju, such as: Seongsan Ilchulbong, Seopjikoji, Cheonjeyeon Waterfall, Hyeopjae beach. What's the best route to go there? FYI, I'll stay at Jeju-si, near the airport. and I only have 2 days 1 night there (around 3PM-11AM the next morning). Can u suggest me the best route to all those places?
Thank you so much, I'm looking forward for your reply soon. :)

Hi, would I be able to rent a car in Jeju city instead of from the airport? We are arriving late night and thought of only renting the next morning in the city but could not seem to find any information about car rental in the city!

2 of us are visiting Jeju in Oct, as we cannot drive, would it be better to chartered a taxi or use public transportation ? Is it common to share a taxi with other tourists in Jeju ? If so, any idea how to go about it ? Thank you.

Hi, I wanted to know how many days is enough for Jeju Island. I am interested in seeing all the waterfalls, Udo island, and most of the scenic spots in Jeju. Also I am interested in Paragliding, ParaSailing, Yatch tour and horse riding. Can anyone tell me how many days I should plan. Thanks

We are looking to rent a car and wanna know how hard it is to drive around the island and go see things away from the hotel we are staying at.

I will visit JeJu Island on April 26, 2013 from about 2:30PM until 9:30PM with a cruise ship. Rather than use a ship's tour I am interested in seeing a few sights like Jusangjeolli rock columns, the Manjanggul Lava Tube, etc., - mostly nature type sights. So, I'd like to see these things among others but want to end in downtown JeJu, or closer to the port, around 6 or 7PM where we will eat at a yet-to-be-determined Korean restaurant and drink a little soju. My wife and I love the Korean meals, often eating lunch at Korean restaurants in Atlanta when visiting family there (there is a large Asian population in North-East Atlanta). It would also be great if we could visit an open-air street market. I realize that the time is short but does anyone have any suggestions of how to accomplish this?

looking to go to Jeju in early July and been trying to figure out a good place to stay at a not so expensive rate. I would love to check out this Island while I am in Japan , but having a hard time finding out where to go for a hotel and having some stuff to do. I really wanna see Seongsan Ilchubong while we are traveling.

Hi everyone, I am from Singapore. My gf and I will be going to Jeju from 01 Apr(Sun) to 04 Apr (Wed). Could someone kindly advise: 1. Is it better to rent a car via email/ phone or approach the rental companies directly in Jeju? 2. Is it cheaper to rent a car from the airport or city area? 3. Any recommended car rental companies/ English websites to check out? Thank you!

Anyone know when Typhoon Season starts and ends ? Looking to go check out the Jeju Island from July 4th to the 9th and wanna check out as much as possible. Also wanna know where might be a good place to stay near that big old volcano thats coming off the coast.

So, is the bus transport services in Jeju-do are good? Would the bus driver know how to speak English? 3) Do you know how long it takes for the tour for Glass Castle? This is because I really want to go to Miniature Park but my partner insists want to go to Glass Castle.. What do you think about this 2 attractions? Which one is a more interesting attraction? Between, generally, how long is the tour for the Miniature Park? 4) Is it easy to find a Jiljimbang nearby Seongsan Iilchunbong Peak if we only find and book it upon arrival the area at about 10pm, 31/3/2012? Between, how long the bus travel time will takes if i want to go to Seongsan area from Jungmun Resort? 5) I had listed quite a number of attractions, is there any attraction you think it's not very interesting? And, do you have must-go attractions in mind which i did not mention? Sorry that I have many queries.. I will really appreciate your assistance.. Looking forward to a favourable reply^^

Hi! My friend and I are looking to travel from Seoul (4 days), to Gyeongju (1 day), to Busan (1 day), to Jejudo (2 days), to Mokpo (2 days) and then back to Seoul for a night. I was wondering what would be the BEST way to travel from place to place. So far, I think: (1) From Seoul to Gyeongju, we would take the KTX from Seoul to Singyeongju and take a 15 minutes bus ride into the center of Gyeuongju. (2) From Gyeongju to Busan, I know there are buses that only take about 2 or 3 hours travel. (3) From Busan to Jejudo is where I need help. I know there's an overnight ferry from Busan to Jejudo that takes 11 hours and it's about40 -160 depending on what type of ticket you get.40 is probably for sleeping on the floor and I'm not sure my friend and I would be very comfortable. Anyone ever done it before? Other than the overnight ferry, would a plane ticket be more feasible? (4) From Jejudo to Mokpo, there's a 5.5 ferry that I think would be the best way to travel. (5) From Mokpo back to Seoul, is there another KTX train? I couldn't find the line on the internet, not sure why, because I'm pretty sure there is. So how does the above travel plans sound? Thanks for everyone's input and help!! It is much appreciated. :)

Hi my friends and I will be travelling to Seoul and Jeju do from the 19th-25th of August. We would like to visit lava caves, teddy bear museum, mysterious roads, jusangjeolli, cheonjiyeon waterfall, folk&natural history museum,Chocolate Museum, submarine trip, Halla-san,Manjanggul lava tube, Glass Castle.We would like to know whether Just wanna know whether we shall join the local tours when we reach Jeju Island or rent a car to drive around the island? Basically we only have 20th-22nd for Jeju Island, the other days we'll be spending them in Seoul.

My friend and I will be visiting Jeju in mid-Aug. Prime holiday season, it seems! We'll be taking the overnight ferry from/to Busan. 1) Here's what I've planned for 3 days... is this too rushed? Should we plan for 4 days instead? We will not be driving, but I hope to rent bicycles to get around faster, or rely on the buses. Sat 13 Aug: submarine trip, O'Sulloc Museum, Chocolate Museum, Jusangjeolli, Teddy Bear Museum Sun 14 Aug: Ilchulbong sunrise, haenyeo performance (?), Seopjikoji, Jeju Folk Village Museum (I'm a fan of Dae Jang Geum, and supposedly some of it was filmed here), Trick Art Museum Mon 15 Aug: Halla-san, Love Land, Manjanggul lava tube, Glass Castle I'm most keen on seeing (in rough order of preference): Ilchulbong sunrise, Manjanggul lava tube, Teddy Bear Museum, the submarine trip, Halla-san, O'Sulloc Museum... of course I'd like to see as much as possible, but those would be the absolute musts if I really have to make a choice. 2) And actually... if someone could tell me roughly how long each of the places I list would need, that would be a major major help!! :D 3) What's the probability of a "good" sunrise at Ilchulbong in mid-Aug? Will it be extremely crowded, seeing that it's a weekend? 4) What are you conditions like for the cheapest class on the Busan-Jeju overnight ferries? Will we need to bring our own sleeping bags, or will there be bedding provided? 5) Do we need to arrive a certain amount of time before the departure time of the ferry in order to buy tickets and stake out good spots? Thanks in advance for any answers! :)

Hi everyone, I'm going to Jeju this summer and it seems that available accomodation will be scarce because this period is particularly busy. I'd like to stay in a small pension, away from the most popular/touristy spots. However, all the websites I found on "Jeju Olle Walking Festival" website are in Korean only. Is there any website/way i can book a room without reading Korean ? And could anyone possibly suggest a quiet place by the sea ? Thanks a lot, Marjorie

Hi, would appreciate if someone can advice me on some questions with driving an ATV in Jeju . I was checking out some websites by Korean tourism board and is interested by the ATV driving on the beaches. The site I saw suggested Sanbada ATV as the ATV rental company. However when I tried accessing their webpage, I realized that it is all in Korean which I do not understand. As such would appreciate if someone can advice me on the following queries: 1. Is a driving license required to drive an ATV in Jeju (preferably with regards to Sanbada ATV) 2. Do we need to make reservation in advance to rent the ATV or can we just walk-in and rent? 3. Would appreciate if anyone can recommend other alternative ATV rentals in Jeju that is good. I thank you in advance :)
