Jeju, East or Southwest: Two Routes, One Booking
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
Jeju IslandOne booking, two possible days, and you pick the half of the island you want. The eastern route: Seongeup Folk Village, Seopjikoji, lunch at a local restaurant, the haenyeo diving performance at Seongsan Ilchulbong, Manjanggul Cave, then drop-offs at Hamdeok Beach or Dongmun Market. The south and west route: Hueree Nature Life Park, Jeongbang Waterfall, the Jusangjeolli lava cliff, the O'sulloc Tea Museum and its green tea fields, and the Eoseungsaengak trail on Hallasan, which the weather can move to the 1100 Altitude Wetland or Saebyeol Oreum. Between 10 July and 19 September Hueree can be swapped for Oedolgae Rock. A few things worth knowing before you choose. Seongsan is on the eastern route, and anyone who wants to climb it is guaranteed 50 minutes on the cone. The haenyeo show runs at 14:00. If it is cancelled, the group goes to the Haenyeo Museum, and the Ilchulbong walk goes with it. Some of it is paid on the day and not in the price: the Seongsan entrance ticket if you climb, lunch at the restaurant, and admission to Hueree at 8,000 KRW in cash or 12,000 KRW by card. Hamdeok Beach is drop-off only: you can end your day there, but you cannot get back on the vehicle. What is in flower changes the character of the day: cherry blossom and canola, then hydrangeas, then pink muhly and silver grass, then camellias. Pick-ups run from 08:30 to 09:10 depending on the point, and either route can end with a drop-off near Dongmun Market. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund.

Seongeup Folk Village
A village kept as it was, with stones piled on the roofs to hold them against the wind. The houses and defences here were built against Japanese invasion and have stood since the Joseon dynasty, which is why they are protected as folk relics.
Seopjikoji
Seopjikoji sits at the end of Jeju's eastern shore, at its best in April when the canola is out. Seopji is the old name for the area and koji is Jeju dialect for a sudden rise in the ground. What you find here moves with the season: the yellow flower field from late February to mid April, cherry blossom on Noksan-road from late March to mid April, hydrangeas at Honinji Pond from late May to early July, pink muhly at Donghwa Village from late September to mid November.
Seongsan Ilchulbong
Guests who choose to climb are guaranteed 50 minutes on the cone, and the women divers perform at 14:00. The entrance ticket is bought on site and is not in the tour price. Seongsan Ilchulbong, Sunrise Peak, is a tuff cone thrown up by hydrovolcanic eruptions on a shallow seabed about five thousand years ago. It stands 182 metres, holds a bowl-shaped crater, and the sea cliff has cut it open enough to show its inner structure. People say it looks like a castle.

Manjanggul is one of the finest UNESCO lava tunnels anywhere: underground passages, rock formations, and the volcanic history of Jeju written along the walls.
Haenyeo Museum
If the haenyeo show is cancelled, the group visits the Haenyeo Museum instead, and the Ilchulbong walk is dropped with it.
Hamdeok Beach

In winter, tangerine picking at an orchard nearby, also paid on site.
Costo extra
