Jeju Island Itineraries - Pls advise

Hi, I would like to visit the following places in Jeju Island. Can anyone advise if 2 days is enough to cover all? Is it easy to get to these places by bus? Any other places that we shouldn%26#39;t miss? The trip will be in Sept or Oct.



1) Mysterious Road



2) Yongduam Rock



3) Dragon Head Rock



4) Moksuwon Park



5) Seongsun Sunrise Peak



6) Seongeup Folk Village



7) Teddy Bear Museum



8) Miniature World





Thanks!

It looks as though you can take buses to most of the places on your list, especially the ones in town. Two days? Possible, but you%26#39;ll be a bit rushed. What about renting a car? Check this website out if you haven%26#39;t already:

Click sightseeing and then Jejudo. It has a lot of great info and even bus schedules I believe. I would add Halla-san to your list for nature walks, etc...

I just got back from a 2 1/2 day, 2 night tour of jeju. it was my first time there. we were with a tour group so the bus took us around. we stayed at the hyatt on the southern point of the island, but it was not nearly as nice as the shilla or lotte hotels.





we saw most of the items on your list. the mysterious road is the road where your car moves forward uphill. it takes about 3 minutes before the excitement is over, and it was in the middle of nowhere.





the rocks are cool, but then again, it takes about 3 minutes to see them and then youre done. the folk village was a little tour that took about an hour and then they tried to sell us oranges and mushrooms and other things. it was interesting to see though. we also saw a tour of an orange grove. they try to sell you hallabong (the big oranges), but they are quite expensive and not as good as sunkist. we also went on a submarine ride (rip off at $45 per person) and a boat tour (which was great). the botanical gardens are a must-see. we didnt go to the teddy bear museum but i heard it was great. if you saw the korean drama goong, that is where the characters went. we also went to a chinese acrobat show (quite depressing as they were all children and seemed sad) and a horse show. i havent heard anything about mini world.





2 days is plenty time to see all those things on your list. our tour group began at 9am and ended around 4:30-5 before we ate dinner and we saw a few more things than your itinerary. the island isnt that big, so you can rent a car and drive around if you feel comfortable doing so.





one thing you should not miss is eating fresh sea cucumber and abalone and also eating ';hook dae-ji';, or korean black pig.




Hi Issy, thanks for your feedback.




Two days is definately not enough and by the way there is a LOT to see on Jeju....take the extra time and smell the roses....by the way, the climbing of Hallasan is an adventure all to its self...and dont forget the lava tubes.




It seems like you%26#39;re hitting the major tourist traps...I would recommend you go to a famous island called ';Udo'; for a day trip instead. To cover all the places you wrote down on your itinerary it%26#39;d be not only tiring but also...not the least best of the places you could hit in Jejudo. I would really just go to Udo for a day and hit maybe 2), 3) and 5).




I agree with the last poster. Udo is a fantastic small island. Look for the famous, old, diving ladies....I believe they are called haenyo.





I also found the pentagon/octagon shaped lava stones close to Seogwipo fascinating. Also visited a bonsai/bunjae tree park....lovely place.





We rented a taxi for the whole day for KRW70000, that%26#39;s around US$70.
