Hi all

Planning a trip to Jeju in July and wondering if anyone can help me out. I am hoping to go for 4 or 5 days during exams. I know there are various packages which my work out cheaper but don't want to feel too restricted???? What have people found?

So I want to get a sense of what others have done and what are must sees etc. Also what about the ferry/flying?

I am debating about renting a car but I think it will be a little expensive as I will be going alone. Was the bus accessible? Also what about accomodation that is reasonable but decent?

Thinking of heading to Udo and staying there one nights also.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would suggest flying unless you live in jeollanamdo.

I rented a pedal bike and saw what I hoped to in 7 days, I went around the entire island plus took a bus to and climb Hallasan,

Things I liked on the island were Sangumburi crater, really a cool site to see a secondary volcano from hallasan.

Manjungul is one of the best sites, its a lava tube, aparently so the koreans say the longest of its kind that is known to man.

Seongsan (sp????) its a crater on the eastern coast of the island well worth a visit, some great photo opps on the top and along the way.

About three or four waterfalls along the southern coast around Seogwipo are worth seeing but they are not that impressive to be honest.

The rocks on the south coast are impressive, can't remember the name of the place but they jut out of the sea vertically.

There were some more caves around Hallim don't remember the name but not as impressive as Monjungal.

I tried to get to the top of Hallasan but halfway up in the pouring rain a park guy came to us and said "closed, turn around"

Beaches are there but they are generally not that impressive, the water is much cleaner than on the pennisnula though.

I preferred Seogwipo over jeju si, it just seemed more friendly and more fun.

Thanks for all of the info on Jeju. Wondering if anyone has suggestions for accomodation? Did you find something when you got there or booked ahead? If so, what is a good web site? Looking for something clean but fairly cheap as I am going for 5 nights. Also planning on visiting Udo and/or Marado. Has anyone else been there?

I biked around the island as well. For accomodation, I would just bike around until I got tired and then keep my eyes open for a minbak or yeogwan. No need to book ahead I think.
