 |
|
Anyone have any advice on travelling from Seoul to Jeju with motorcycles? Maybe a one-day ride to Mokpo, get the ferry the following morning..
Is Mokpo the best port for departure to Jeju? How much do tickets cost for bike & passenger?
If you've done a similar trip, please post your experiences/advice!
Thanks. |

| I'd done Seoul to Mokpo, but never taken the bike on a boat. |

We took our bike from Mokpo to Jeju about 3 years ago...I honestly don't remember what it cost. I want to say it was like 80000 for 2 of us and the bike one way, it's only a 4 hour ride so there is no need to book any special seats.....that figure could be totally wrong, but I do remember that it wasn't expensive.....and I can guarantee you that the best way to see Jeju is on a bike, although Jeju certainly doesn't live up to being the "Hawaii of Korea" riding a bike around the island is awesome.
You just buy the tickets right at the boat, it isn't something that you can book. |

I rode from Seoul to Cheongju in 3 hours, then made it from Cheongju through Mokpo about 1 hour east of Mokpo in about 8 hours. The ride is nothing great on that part. The South Sea islands were the best part of it all. I wanted to cruise Jindo but didn't have the time. |

It's the high season and difficult to get tickets on short notice.
The number for the Seaworld ferry leaving from Mokpo is 061-243-1927
They don't speak English very well, though.
There are two ferries. One leaves n the morning around 9 (but you have to be there by  , and one at 3:30pm.
You can also leave from Wando, but you can't (well, at least I couldn't) reserve tickets in advance.
I just reserved tickets for friends a couple days ago.... |
