It was an unforgettable excursion! The program is very eventful, you will definitely not be bored. Everything is very well thought out and organized. The landscapes are breathtaking, the cozy walks are not tiring at all, and the history of the places is amazing. We enjoyed this day with all our hearts and it will definitely remain in our memory forever. This day was especially brightened by the guide Elin @redcapelin. She was always with us at every step, told us a lot of interesting information, organized quizzes with gifts and fed us delicious Korean snacks on the way 🥰 told us where the best photo zones are and took wonderful photos for us to remember this wonderful day. A very positive and good-natured person, it is always very pleasant when a guide is so passionate about his work, it improves the mood. So I boldly recommend 👍🏻 Thank you @redcapelin for this wonderful day! We are sincerely grateful for your activity and kindness❤️❤️❤️

We recently embarked on a tour of Jeju Island, and despite the bad weather, it turned out to be a great experience. Our guide was exceptional, providing engaging stories and insights about the island's history and culture, which made the experience even more enriching. Although the rain, hail and wind challenged our plans, the itinerary was well-structured, allowing us to enjoy the sights without feeling rushed. One of the standout features of the tour was the chance to witness the incredible Haenyo women divers. These remarkable women, known for their free-diving skills, showcased their unique tradition of harvesting seafood without the use of oxygen tanks. Watching them dive gracefully into the waves was both inspiring and humbling. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone eager to explore the beauty and culture of Jeju Island, even if the weather doesn't cooperate. It's a fantastic blend of adventure, relaxation, and learning that will leave you with lasting memories!

Elin was fantastic & took great care of us. She is very meticulous in her planning & made sure we enjoyed our time in Jeju. The tour was made even more wonderful as she shared information about the Jeju culture and helped to take photos of us. This tour by Yeha is definitely recommended

Must-Visit Attractions on Udo Island

Dapdanitap Lighthouse

As you explore the northern tip of Udo, you'll spot the striking white Dapdanitap lighthouse standing proudly by the coast. Although you can't climb it, the tower's proximity to the water and rocks makes for a picturesque sight. Even more intriguing are the stone mini pyramids nearby called bongsudae (or mangru by the Jeju locals). These beacon mounds, since the Joseon dynasty, were once crucial for military communication.

Hagosudong Beach

Head to Hagosudong on Udo's northeast side for a lovely white sand beach. Families love it for the shallow waters. This spot used to be a top spot for anchovy fishing. On summer nights, catch the magical sight of fishing boats lighting up the waters---it's called Yahangeobeom.

Dongan Gyeong-gul

Known as the Dongangyeong Cave, this sea cave also goes by a fun nickname---the whale's nostril. On the path to the cave, you'll spot peculiar rocks and stones, adding to the sightseeing experience. The cave's grand, arch-shaped entrance makes it hard to miss. Once inside, you'll be amazed by the cave's impressive size and scale. This cave even hosts concerts every year, given its vast size!

Dolcani Beach

Named "Dolcani" for its manger-like shape, this spot has foot-only access at Udo Island, fitting with the island's Cow nickname. Walk from Cheonjin Port to Dolcani Beach, passing stone towers where you can make wishes with basalt rocks.

Udo Sanho Beach

Udo Island has three delightful beaches, including Geommeolle Beach, each with its own special vibe. Udo Sanho Beach, also known as Seobinbaeksa, just a short stroll from Cheonjin Port, looks like scattered popcorn on the shore. Dive in and feel the unique Rhodoliths under your feet---it's not your average sand, but marine algae giving the beach its coral sand nickname. The sun reflecting off the white sand and the emerald sea on this West Coast beach creates a stunning view you'd usually find in places like Southeast Asia or the Mediterranean.

Tips for Your Udo Island Visit

When is the best time to visit Udo Island?

The ideal times to visit Udo Jeju City are during the spring and fall. The weather is mild and pleasant, making it perfect for outdoor activities and exploring the island's natural beauty.

How to go to Udo Island?

From Jeju Island, hop on a 15-minute ferry ride in the Seongsan ferry terminal from Seongsan Port to reach Udo Island! Once there, you can explore the island in a day by driving, biking, taking a tour bus, or hiking the Jeju Olle Trail. It's a fantastic day trip option, and you can even combine it with a visit to Seongsan Ilchulbong for a full adventure!

Where to stay in Udo Island?

For easy access to attractions and dining options, consider staying overnight in Udo near Geommeolle Beach. Alternatively, you can stay in Jeju near Jongdal Port for a more isolated experience with stunning views of Udo and Seongsan Ilchulbong.
