Jeju Island is an oval-shaped island located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. It is well-known for its abundant natural beauty, spectacular sights and intriguing experiences, all thanks to its volcanic origins.

You see, the renowned island is home to Hallasan, which is classified as an active volcano, having most recently erupted around 5,000 years ago. Tectonic activity involved in the island’s formation blessed it with a variety of biomes, including an ancient forest, vivid, flowering plains, volcanic tubes and craters, mysterious caves and beautiful beaches lapped by gentle, rolling waves.

Hallasan – incidentally, also Korea’s highest peak – sits roughly in the middle of Jeju Island, and is flanked by Jeju City in the north, and Seogwipo in the south. The entire island measures just 73 km east to west, and 40 km north to south, and is crisscrossed by highways, making it easy to explore.

How to get to Jeju Island

Jeju Island has its own airport (Jeju International Airport), so it’s possible to hop on a plane and fly straight there.

However, direct flights from Singapore to Jeju are rather rare, with Scoot seemingly the only operator offering a direct flight, and only on selected days (at the time of writing this article). If you’re the type that doesn't believe in wasting time on stopovers, you’ll want to lock down your flights early.

On the other hand, stopovers at Seoul or Busan typically last around around 10 hours or more, which – depending on the time of your flight – make for a good opportunity to go for a quick jaunt in these cities between flights.

Of course, this also means you can take a domestic flight from Seoul or Busan, if Jeju happens to be the second leg of your Korea holiday.

Meals

Food in Jeju is flavoursome, plentiful and highly affordable. A budget of around S$30 to S$50 per person per day will cover a mix of street food, casual eateries and cafes and restaurants.

You can adjust that range upwards or downwards as preferred, and likely still get by with little to no trouble.



Getting around

Jeju Island features a well-developed public bus system complete with tourist-friendly options.

One such option is the Jeju Tourist Shuttle, which offers two services (810 and 820) that cover most of the island’s tourist attractions and points of interest. A one-day pass costs around S$3 per adult.

Alternatively, you can opt for the Jeju City Tour Bus which covers locations near to the city centre. There are two routes offered – a city route, and a coastal route – which will provide you with plenty to see and explore. This is the more expensive of the two, with a day pass costing around S$12 per adult.

If you’re travelling with luggage or small children, you might want to opt for a taxi ride instead. You can book a taxi on Jeju Island with the Kakao T app (works similarly to Grab or Uber) and even pay the cab driver directly with your credit card.

Taxi rides are affordable, starting from around S$5 for short trips, and going up to around S$50 for hour-long ones.

💡Pro-tip: Download the Kakao T app before your trip. Once you change your phone's SIM card to a local Korean SIM card, you might not be able to receive the verification SMS to complete your Kakao account registration – even if you chose to retain your original number. As a result, you won't be able to use the app to book any taxis.

But if you're using a portable Wi-Fi Egg, it should be fine to download and register for a Kakao account even when already in Korea.
