The guide, Nicole, was super nice and always helpful. We booked the two day tour and we were always lucky that she was always our guide for both of the tours. We were able to visit and explore all the main attractions here in this beautiful island!
What you'll see
Unlike standard tours with fixed schedules, this excursion is tailored to your ship's actual arrival and departure times. Whether your cruise arrives early or late, your guide will be waiting at the port, and the tour begins accordingly. The day is paced for comfort, not speed: no shopping stops, no unnecessary detours — Jeju's UNESCO landmarks, local markets and everyday island culture, with time to enjoy them.

What guests say
Incredible excursion! The places are magnificent and everything is very well organized! The day before, a WhatsApp group was created to communicate with the guide. Elin-Jeju mama was amazing throughout the entire excursion, from her explanations to her atmosphere and energy!!! I highly recommend this tour!
The courses tour was pretty awesome, very beautiful places and everything explained well.nnClara Kim was huge kind and willing to support all our doubts. My wife and me really recommend it for sure. We hope to get back soon
Definitely worth the time and the money, genuinely recommend. The tour I went on (Jeju UNESCO East Course Tour) was well organised, it was a perfect mix of free and educational time, which was also fun. There weren’t too many people, you could ask your tour guide questions anytime. My tour guide was Elin, she’s absolutely wonderful! My favourite part was seeing haenyeo perform, but it’s never guaranteed because of the weather. Either way 10/10! Genuinely recommend. Big thanks to the whole team :)
I went on the tour with Clara, the tour guide, and Mr. Kim, the driver. The tour was designed well to start with the 1100 Altitude Wetlands (a little walk but mostly chance to have a quick breakfast at the convenience store with the observation deck) and highlighted the southern Jeju spots and a little bit of eastern by the way of O’sulloc Museum. I specifically took this tour to be able to visit O’sulloc Museum, which is not easy to do as a solo traveler who doesn’t want to drive. It was nice to be able to see a lot of Seogwipo area as someone staying in Jeju city. The tour was paced well for me, I felt we had enough time at each stop. There were no weird sales stops along the way. Clara was very informative as a native Jeju dweller to highlight the reasons why we were making each stop. It is a bit of a hike involved in many stops, as Jeju is just a very hilly place with lots of steps and walking to see a good amount of these stops. Clara also took great photos, another plus for going on a group tour as a solo traveler. The tour is a bit longer than eight hours by the time you get to Jeju city area, so flights or other next itinerary should be planned accordingly.
Our family really enjoyed this experience and felt it was a great way to explore Jeju island. Each location was so carefully chosen and our guide, Clara, was very knowledgeable. The lunch was also so perfect and gave us a taste of the specialties of the island.
