Review of Jeju’s cruise-friendly UNESCO shore tour, with port-specific routes, volcano views, markets, guide tips, costs, and practical warnings.
“The guide was waiting for us at the exit of the terminal as promised. The excursion was just the right length, not too long, not too short. Saw 4 different places and for the first one, the sunrise peak, you have to be very fit to go up because it is very steep. The only thing that I would suggest is for the guide to be more clear on what happens when we get off the bus. Like for the first place, she didn’t say where was the entrance and that we had to wait for her to get the tickets.”
