I had an amazing time on our the eastern Jeju tour thanks to our fantastic guide Elin! Her knowledge of the island was impressive, she had great energy and made the whole day fun! Everything was perfectly timed - we saw so much without ever feeling rushed. A smooth, enjoyable, and truly 5-star experience. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour! The places we visited today were amazing, and I learned so much about the history and people of Jeju. Our guide Eric was the best! He was very organised and kept everything running smoothly, all in his witty and gentle way. I would highly recommend this company, and if you’re lucky enough to get Eric as your guide, you’ll have a great day! 😁

Great Jeju Tour

Jake_W, Apr 2026
Haley was a wonderful tour guide and had great communication throughout the whole day. Fun hike and saw some beautiful beaches and scenery!

Fantastic tour

Eveline_v, Apr 2026
We joined this tour today (41 people so quite a large group) and had a lovely day. Communication via group app beforehand and during the tour worked well, with regular updates from the guide, Eric Kang. The bus arrived on time to pick us up and was comfortable and clean. Eric was very informative and caring, with great English and he made sure everything went smoothly. We had enough time at all the places although the pacing is a bit on the high side. The pork BBQ lunch was delicious. Highly recommended!

First Time in Jeju

Jillian_L, Apr 2026
You get a lot of experiences for the money. It was money & time well spent. Haley was lovely. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient.

Beautiful day with Elin!

Grant_W, Apr 2026
Elin was such a wonderful tour guide for our first trip to Jeju. She was more than accommodating and caring with our 6 month old who came with us!! She really knows a lot and was a great guide. Thanks again Elin, aka Jeju Mama!

Ellen_M, Apr 2026
Jam packed full day tour of east Jeju. Haley did a fantastic job of wrangling a full bus of travelers and ensuring we had a good Jeju experience. The tour was interesting and covered a lot of ground, but I would book with a smaller tour group if I had my time again.

There was a lot of people...

Tiia_T, Apr 2026
There was a lot of people in our tour group. However, our tour guide Haley handled it well. The stops were all really nice.

Great Tour visiting Eastern part of Jeju

2ferdroad, Apr 2026
Great trip visiting the Eastern part of Jeju with highlights like the Micheon Caves ( with art/light installation ), the folk village , unesco divers , hiking the mountain and a great black pork lunch and bimbimbap. Eric, our tour guide was well organized, efficient, approachable and manage the group well . He even created a what’s up group among tour guests to communicate pick up and drop off points with photos to make it easy for tour guests to find . He even took our group picture . Overall, great tour . Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and appreciate all the effort Eric put in to make our tour as seamless as possible in spite of the rain ,

Nice one day tour

Eric was such a great tour guide. Despite rainy weather, we still had such a fun time. This tour really brings you to some of the amazing highlights in Jeju. Eric was very knowledgeable and able to answer a tonne of follow-up questions asked.

Fanela_C, Apr 2026
Excellent tour! We were able to see a lot. Clara was very informative and kept us on track the entire tour.

Book this tour!!

Andrea_C, Apr 2026
We had an amazing time on the Jeju East tour, led by “Jeju Mama” Elin. Elin has incredible energy, is so knowledgeable about the island and its history, and was one of the most organized guides I’ve traveled with. She kept all 36 of us on time, laughing with her humor, and we left feeling incredibly full of love for this beautiful island. We traveled with my 10 and 7 year olds and my 80 year old mother and the tour was perfect for all of us. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Elin!

Clara is the best!

Dbora_L, Apr 2026
Clara was the absolute best! She’s a local so I was able to even ask her questions outside of the tour, and she was extremely helpful and attentive. She was prompt, respectful and very knowledgeable about the tour. I loved the itinerary as well. Amazing and worth the trip!

Haley is the best tour...

Maxime_C, Apr 2026
Haley is the best tour guide ever! It's the perfect chance to see as much of Jeju Island as possible.

The highlight of our time on Jeju Island!

Brendalynne_F, Apr 2026
My husband and I went on this tour yesterday with Clara as our tour guide and we had the best time! Clara was very informative and so nice and the sights were so beautiful!! The weather was on our side and we got to see the haenyeon women divers which was surreal!! My favorite part was hiking up to the peak of Seongsan Ilchulbong then eating the tangerine ice cream after. At the end of the tour, Clara even went above and beyond to send us recommendations for black pig BBQ after she called the restaurant that my husband and I originally planned to go to and found out it was closed. Book this tour if you're ever on Jeju Island!

Go Yeha!

montha_p, Apr 2026
My family and I had the best experience with Yeha Tour! Elin was our tour guide- she was very engaging, knowledgeable of Jeju, and just an absolute joy to be around. I wish we could stay another day to book their South/West tour. Next time <3

Book it!

jessica_a, Mar 2026
Great experience! Location pick ups were easy to find the tour itself was awesome and our guide Clara was amazing and knowledgeable!

Highly recommended

Margaret_K, Mar 2026
I would highly recommend this tour. First day in Jeju we tried to hit the highlights on our own but quickly discovered we were wasting a lot of time on transportation waiting for buses/cabs. So we opted to go with the tour and it was the best decision. This tour was extremely well organized. We got to see 6 sites including the Haenyeo performance. There was just enough time at each site (any more time I would have just spent money on needless souvenirs :)) Our tour guide Clara Kim and the driver Kevin were accommodating and so hospitable. Great experience. Next time we’re in Jeju we will definitely do the Southwest tour.

Organized, stress free & very well run

Vicky_L, Mar 2026
Our host Hayley was professional, communicative, patient & engaging! She had some really interesting facts to share about Jeju with a real local’s insight. Her stories and facts were fun, well-researched & enriched each stop. She was helpful & respectful— I somehow never felt rushed even though she ran a tight ship & we seemed to get everywhere on time!

Great full day tour of...
