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! 😁

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 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

Today’s tour with Mama Jeju was absolutely fantastic! Our guide Elin was incredible — extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy from the very beginning. She made the whole experience feel fun, relaxed, and very personal. I highly recommend doing a tour with Elin.

I ❤️ Jeju! Thanks Clara Kim and Kevin for helping me create beautiful memories of Jeju Island

CECILLE_S, Mar 2026
I enjored the tour very much. Was a beautiful day and all the sights were amazing. Our tour guide Clara Kim was very helpful and caring. I got lost at one of the sights and she stayed on to look for me. I really appreciated her. Clara also takes the best photos at the perfect spot. Our driver, Kevin, drove smoothly without any issues. Overall it was a really great and memorable experience seeing parts of Jeju.

This was a great tour to...

Rachel_A, Feb 2026
This was a great tour to go on to see the caves, check out a pretty beach and learn about the divers (due to weather we were not able to see them). The weather was bad, but our guide, Elon, brought ponchos and umbrellas for us and really made it a memorable day. Would definitely recommend for an easy day trip in Jeju

The tour guide was great,...

Jarvis_S, Feb 2026
The tour guide was great, he was very enthusiastic and the bus was comfortable, all the things we saw in Jeju Island were very cool!

Ask for Haley! - Great Tour

khedkarmihir, Jan 2026
Haley was THE BEST tour guide. She was so nice, always willing to help, & very knowledgeable. My friend & I went together, & we were able to learn so much about JeJu from Haley. She was always willing to answer questions, help us if any way we need, & take lots of pictures for us, even when it was freezing outside. If you book this trip, make sure to ask for Haley. I will only want to use Haley as my tour guide for my next trip to Jeju.

Yona_S, Jan 2026
Haley was a lovely and enthusiastic guide on this trip of highlights of the eastern coast of Jeju. Making the tour both informative and enjoyable.

Elin made this trip so fun and informative

Angela_K, Dec 2025
My son and I took this tour and it was absolutely amazing. Elin was such a wonderful tour guide, so informative, warm, and engaging. You can truly tell she loves what she does, and that passion makes the entire experience even more special. We actually took this tour about four months ago, and I felt compelled to come back and write this review. Elin made everything so fun and easy to follow, and we both learned so much while genuinely enjoying ourselves. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Elin as your guide!

Tour Guide Hayley was brilliant!!
