Jeongbang Waterfall has a lot of rocks, so you have to walk very carefully under your feet, and the stairs are easy to come down, but very difficult to get around.

Yongmeori Coast was given its name because it resembles the shape of a dragon going into the sea. Layers of sandstone over tens of millions of years have been carved by waves to form strange cliffs. The hollow inside, like the secret room hit by the waves, or the empty cave like the traces of the waves on the rock wall, makes you feel the grandeur of facing a long history.

Located in Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, it is part of Jeju Olle Course 14. It is also a twin beach adjacent to Geumneung Beach. Just looking at the sea light, as if emerald paint was gradually released into the transparent water, is healing. At low tide, the silver sandy beach with lots of shells continues endlessly.

Love Jeju! - It was tiring but a very memorable tour. We had an all day excitement from watching a beautiful sunrise to Samdal ri film location which was added by our driver/tour guide, Mr Kim. He was very accommodating, friendly and patient with us . He took our pics and videos. Can't believe we were able to tour the stunning island in a day!

Must Do when in Jeju - Mr. Kim was our incredible tour guide for the day. The tour started at 7 am and ended around 7/8pm, which enabled us to explore and sight-see most of Jeju Island. Mr. Kim led a very detailed, fun and interactive tour. He was very informative teaching us the history of Jeju and sharing his insights/recommendations as well. He is also quite the photographer and super helpful in making sure you captured beautiful memories on your trip. We all had so much fun and learned a lot about Jeju. This was definitely a must Do when in Jeju, especially if you have a limited amount or time. Thank you, Mr.Kim!

Awesome experience! - This has been such an amazing experience! Mr. Kim made it a memorable day while he drove with me to all the places of interest you can dream of as someone who’s been visiting Jeju-Island for the very first time. He explained a lot in detail, took a ton of pictures and simply knows which locations are the most impressive. I’m grateful to have booked this adventure and highly recommend it whether you’re going solo as I did, as a couple, with your family or friends. Thank you!

So worth it! - Whether you only have a day or even a week, this tour is worth it! Mr. Kim was such an amazing tour guide! He took such excellent pictures and videos of us. Such great memories! We also let him know the sites we wanted to see and sites we wanted skip and he was so accommodating. He had such a good sense of humor too! We were able to see everything we had planned to and covered so much in those 11-12 hours. I would highly recommend this tour. Jeju is so beautiful yet all the sites are spread so far apart it makes sense to go with someone who knows their way around the island to see as much as you can in a day. Request Mr. Kim if he is available. His English is good and he is a true professional.

Excellent!! - Since this was a one day tour of the south, east and west part of the island, I was not expecting much. Mr Kim made this tour memorable. He picked us up at the hotel on time and took us to the most famous sights. He was also great with taking pictures and videos of the sights. We did not feel rushed at all. He also took us to a great Korean buffet restaurant and the food tasted homemade and delicious and the price was great! I highly reccomend this tour if you are not staying in Jeju too long.
PS. Mr Kim has a guide explaining all the places you will visit. If you get this tour, I hope you get Mr Kim

Fantastic Tour of Jeju Island - We only had one full day in Jeju and wanted to see all the natural sights that make this island so famous. Not, did we feel like we saw it all. We got picked up at 7 a.m. at our hotel and it was a whirlwind of a day, retuning at 7 p.m. but what a day it was! I feel like we really got to see all the natural wonders and beauty of this special island. We saw all the famous stuff, except for the lava tubes since they were closed. Our driver/guide kept us one step ahead of the tourist buses and helped us see and experience so much. It was incredible! If you only have one full day in Jeju, or if you have a free day and want to travel all around the island seeing all the natural highlights, this is the tour to do. We were a group of three and our driver, Mr. Kim, even took group photos for us at all the right spots. I highly recommend this tour; it is a little more money than a large group tour but the personalized service made you feel like a VIP, as well as moving around faster allows you to see way more stuff. It was great.
