Overview

This private taxi tour on Jeju Island lasts about nine hours and offers a customizable itinerary. After booking, travelers can specify preferred stops and adjust the plan until the tour begins. Once the tour starts, no changes to the itinerary are allowed. The tour includes an English, Chinese, or Japanese-speaking local driver who also serves as the guide. Fuel, parking fees, and car insurance are included. The tour can visit several notable locations in a flexible order, including Saryeoni Forest Path Red Ascension Entrance, where visitors can walk a protected forest trail for about 40 minutes. Seongeup Folk Village is an optional stop featuring traditional buildings preserved from the Joseon Dynasty, also visited for about 40 minutes. Seongsan Ilchulbong, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a tuff cone on the eastern coast with a crater and sea cliff formations; visitors spend around 70 minutes here. Seopjikoji is a natural area on the eastern shore known for its coastal scenery and canola flowers in April, with a visit lasting about 40 minutes; from October to December, this stop can be replaced by Sangumburi Crater. Woljeongri Beach offers about 30 minutes to enjoy its white sand and nearby cafes. Eco Land Theme Park covers a large area of virgin forest with a historic steam locomotive and is an alternative to the Manjanggul Lava Tube, which is closed for construction until August 2025. The Manjanggul Lava Tube, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the world’s largest lava tube but currently closed; during closures, Jeju Stone Park or Eco Land Theme Park are offered instead. The Haenyeo Museum is available as an alternative on rainy days or when the lava tube is closed, showcasing exhibits on Jeju’s female divers and local culture. Additional fees apply for admission to attractions, food, personal expenses, cruise port pickups, remote pick-up and drop-off outside downtown Jeju City, and mileage exceeding 130 kilometers per day.
