Highlights
  • Jeongbang Waterfall - This iconic waterfall on Jeju Island is the only one in Asia that cascades directly into the sea. Visitors can even dip their feet in the water here. The Chinese characters “Seobulgwacha” are inscribed on the rock wall of Jeongbang Falls. According to legend, an envoy of Emperor Qin Shi Huang came to Yeongju Mountain (now Hallasan Mountain) in Jeju to find “Bulocho” and took turns engraving words on the rock wall, but the rock was damaged by a typhoon. Jeongbang Falls is surrounded by many rocks, so visitors must tread carefully. While descending the stairs is easy, climbing back up can be quite challenging. This natural waterfall creates a stunning scene, especially when rainbows appear in photographs.
  • Oedolgae - Oedolgae Rock (Lonely Rock)

Oedolgae is steeped in a tragic love legend. Long ago, in a seaside village in Seogwipo-si, a couple lived with their child. One day, the father went fishing but was caught in a storm, and his boat capsized, leading to his death. The mother waited on the beach every day for decades, eventually turning into stone with her child in her arms. When the father’s body washed ashore, he too turned into stone, with his legs submerged in the sea. If you look into the sea behind the mother, you can see the father’s feet.

  • Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff - These columnar joints are quadrangular pillars that appear as if they were meticulously carved with a sharp knife. They are vertical joints formed in basaltic lava flows, created by the rapid cooling and contraction of thick lava from a crater. The hexagonal stone pillars stacked like stairs and surrounded like a folding screen are a marvel of nature. The waves crashing against the pillars can create a spectacular show, sometimes soaring over 20 meters high. The Jusangjeolli Cliff on the Jungmun-Daepo Coast is the largest in Korea, with heights of 30 to 40 meters and a width of about 1 kilometer. It is designated as Jeju Island Natural Monument No. 443.
  • Yongmeori Beach - Yongmeori Coast, located at the foot of Sanbangsan Mountain, extends to the sea and resembles a dragon’s head entering the water. The sandstone rocks, layered over tens of millions of years, have been sculpted by waves into unique cliffs. The hollow “oyster room” and wave-carved rock walls evoke a sense of ancient history. The dramatic 30-50 meter cliffs, curving like a meander, have been featured in commercials and movies.
  • O’sulloc Tea Museum - Opened in September 2001, the O’sulloc Tea Museum showcases tea-related items from Korea and abroad. It is a cultural space that blends Eastern and Western traditions with modern elements, offering a nature-friendly place to relax. Visitors can learn about green tea and traditional Korean tea culture and experience everything related to Sulloc tea. Taking photos in the green tea fields is a must, and the serene environment is perfect for family meditation and relaxation, providing a much-needed break from busy city life.
  • Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road - The Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road, located on the western end of Jeju Island, features an offshore wind farm with windmills lining the coastal road. The white windmills against the emerald green sea create a refreshing autumn landscape. The road offers various sights, including views of Chagwido Island. It is also a popular spot for sunset photography. The Sinchang Coastal Road is known for its beautiful sunsets and is a filming location for dramas. Visitors can enjoy a walking path around a white lighthouse and take time to rejuvenate.
  • Hyeopjae Beach - Hyeopjae Beach, located in Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, is a top recommendation for beaches on the west side of Jeju Island. It is part of Jeju Olle Course 14 and is adjacent to Geumneung Beach. The emerald waters are incredibly clear, and the silver sandy beach is filled with shells at low tide. The beach offers a view of Biyangdo Island, which resembles an elephant swallowing a boa constrictor from “The Little Prince.” The sunset over Biyangdo Island is a must-see. In summer, the beach is open at night, allowing visitors to enjoy Jeju’s blue night under palm trees. With shallow waters and a gentle slope, Hyeopjae Beach is ideal for families with children.
  • Handam Coastal Trail - Also known as Gwakgeum Olle Trail, the Handam Coastal Trail is a scenic promenade from Aewol Port to Gwakji Gwamul Beach. The 1.2 km trail offers beautiful coastal views and is one of Jeju City’s 31 hidden gems. The trail features unique rock formations created by hardened lava and a winding path along the coast made of black rocks. Located on the west side of Jeju Island, it is a great spot to enjoy stunning sunsets.

Additional Information

This taxi tour accommodates up to 12 people and provides an insightful view into Jeju’s UNESCO-protected natural sights and the daily life of Jeju’s residents. We gather about 10 minutes ahead of the morning tour’s start to finalize the day’s itinerary, taking into account the preferences of all attendees.

At Jeongbang Waterfall, participants can marvel at the spectacle of aquatic descent into the sea. The Columnar Joint is a geological wonder born from cooled lava that flowed into the ocean. At Yongmeori, you’ll witness more lava flow remnants meeting the sea’s edge and have an opportunity to enjoy the company of indigenous female divers or haenyeo. At the green tea field, catch your breath and restore your spirit. And finally, on the Sinchang Coastal Road, watch as the day ends with a mesmerizing sunset.

Note:
We’ll discuss meal preferences with you and strive to propose a restaurant and dish catered to your liking. Typically, lunch is arranged within a 5km radius of the Ossulloc green tea museum.

Great guide and great value - We had an unplanned day in Jeju island and wanted to save some money instead of going with one of the tours offered by the cruise line and we stumbled on Mr Kim who offered to take us around the island for a very reasonable price for our family of 4. he was very patient and expertly took our pictures at the beach and at the two waterfalls in town. so glad we took this option. will gladly look for mr kim if we come through jeju in the future and would gladly recommend him to anyone. he is kind, patient and for those of you looking for good instagram shots he is your guy.
