Hi Kerry- I have a post with great hotel recommendations here: https://grrrltraveler.com/8-top-things-to-do-jeju-island/ . I would always check up to date reviews on them, but when I was there, they looked stunning. Enjoy your trip to Jeju Island.

I will be traveling this July to Jeju Island and have made my flight reservations. I will be traveling alone and want to stay in a luxury hotel without a lot of families. Relaxation is my main priority. If price is not a concern, which hotel would you recommend?

Thank you,
Kerry

Were you able to rent a scooter on jeju without an international drivers licence. I’m going for a few days and really want to rent a scooter but only have a British drivers licence.

Thank you

@Cheryl” I went to Jeju twice – once w/ a friend (7-8?) and once w/ my mother (3 days); Depends on what you want to do and see and the type of transportation you take. Jejudo has so much and more attractions than I listed, so be sure to hit up the Tourist Info & get a map when you arrive. If you’re gonna hike Mt Halla or do an Olle trail, estimate half a day to a day. If you want to ferry to Udo Island; it’ll be a day or two depending).

Korea: Where to go is dependent on what kind of things you want to see and what you’re into- shopping, art, traditional/historical, activities,etc… Seoul is a must. Busan is the 2nd largest city with a huge seaport. Another thing is to check the Korea Tourism Org pages to see what festivals are going on during the time you’ll be there. Fall should be beautiful in Korea. The leaves change w/ brilliant colors. Hope this helps some!

@linus: Apols for the delay…. Unless you rent a car and get started early in the morn, I’d give Jeju at least 2-3 days. Also, depends on what you consider “main spots” bc there really is so much and it’s spread out throughout the island. Museums, theme parks, Halla mountain, olle trails, natural wonders, etc…. You definitely won’t cover most in a day. My itinerary covers “some” of the stuff there is & I did it in a weekend via bus trips. I usually try to milk my days too, but as I said– some of these things are spread out. Would help if you had a tourist map in advance to strategize. 😉
Besides, if you’re spending money to fly out, why only a day? However, if a day is all you have, then you’ll have to make it work and be content with what you get. I’d target an area and hit the places in that spot. Good luck!

Great post! may i check with on if a 1 day 1 night is enough to explore main (most) parts of jeju?

@Wendy: unfortunately, I’m not very familiar with your route and never took the ferry, so I’m not sure about the cost difference. Apologies I couldn’t be of help. Good luck though.
