Very nice tour, great option to explore a part of Jeju Island.
Our guide Elin was amazing, making sure everyone had a good time and explaining everything.
Thanks jeju mama!
Amazing experience with an expectional host. Jeju mama Elin and Mr Kim (driver) thank you for your hospitality. The tour ran smoothly and we learned soo much about the beautiful island of Jeju. I would definitely recommend this tour with Yeha as a must!!!

Elin, Mama Jeju, was so fun! I came to Jeju alone and without a car it is quite difficult to see the sights of this itinerary. I met amazing people, experienced the beautiful culture of Jeju, and it never felt forced or rushed. I really recommend it, had a fantastic time!

This is a perfect option for a day trip in JeJu! Elin is so energetic and positive as a guide. She makes the trip even more memorable with her bubbly personality. The tour is full of essential stops on the east side of the island. The local lunch option was delicious and vegetarian friendly!

Nicole was a great guide! She was so enthusiastic and kind. There were very strong winds on the day of the tour so we were not able to do a few things on the itinerary, but she substituted them with ease. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jeju.

Elin was a fantastic tour guide! Even though I was a solo traveler, she facilitated group interaction and I left the tour with new friends! Despite the weather not exactly behaving, Elin prepared alternative activities that more than made up for the canceled activities due to the weather. I would 100% recommend this to anyone!!!! Especially with Elin!

Best tour I’ve ever been on. Well laid out itinerary, a temporary WhatsApp group, clear/concise instructions.

The tour is amazing. You will see and spend time at Jeju’s east coast main attraction, appreciating the calm of small villages.
For lunch, you’ll get the chance to try black pork (typical on the island) and chat with you companions.
Everything was amazing also thanks to your tour guide Elin or, as she likes to be called, “mama jeju”. She’s wonderful, full of knowledge, kind and meticulous. Five stars especially to her.

Excellent tour of all the highlights of East side of Jeju Island. Beautiful scenic places and natural phenomenons. Some sites require some climbing and stamina, but also have places more leisurely. Wonderful, experienced, well organized tour guide, Clara Kim, made our trip more worry-free and can focus on sightseeing Clean, comfortable, air conditioned bus with excellent safe driver, Mr Kim. Enjoyed it so much we are booking the south and west Jeju tour with the same tour guide, the next day!!!
Group lunch for small price and tasted great. Pick up and drop off can be different locations.

Clara Kim was a friendly, welcoming and impressive guide being a native of Jeju. She was enthusiastic about showing us the secret gems Jeju had to offer from an authentic working village to the UNESCO Lava Caves. The beautiful beaches and the Haenyo are special attractions of Jeju. Even though it was quite a windy day with rough seas, and we didn’t get to watch the women diver demonstration, the Haenyo Museum offered an informative alternative. Clara did her best to keep the large group of over 30 people together and engaged despite the very warm temperatures of August. There was enough time to enjoy each venue on our own, and we learned a lot from Clara on the bus between sites. She’s a very personable and knowledgeable guide for Jeju Island!

We had a wonderful Jeju tour with our family. The package was very well planned, and everything was organized smoothly from beginning to end.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jeju!

This tour is a must. All the places we visited were already in my bucket list, it is perfect to get to know such important places in one day. As a tourist who really appreciates efficiency this was a lifesaver, we didn’t have to worry about annything else than being on the bus on time.
Clara is the best guide ever, she is knowledgeable and so kind, we had a lot of fun, also she helped us taking the best pictures of our trip.

Elin our tour guide definitely made it unforgettable. This tour is the best one on jeju. Over all we got to see the eastern part of the island and did not feel rushed at all. I definitely recommend this tour at the price it costs you cannot get anything better on jeju.

Perfect itinerary that covers key attractions on the east side of Jeju island. Our family of 15 pax had a wonderful time and well taken care of by mama Elin🥰 There is sufficient time at each stop to ensure we can explore and take photos (not to mention Elin also was super helpful to help all the groups to take photos). There is moderate walking so beware if you are traveling with seniors and young children. During summer it can get quite hot because it is outdoors ensure to bring umbrellas, fans and sunscreen.

It has been a while since our last tour and this one did not dissapoint.
We managed to cover in few hours a significant part of the island and gain lots of information from an insider.
Our tour guide Elin was not only very kind but she has a talent to tell us stories about the island in a very detailed and funny way.
The tour pace was perfect, we never felt rushed like it usually happens in tours althought we were a medium to large size group.
All places we visited were special and we managed to see the Haenyeo ladies (Jeju women free divers) which was one of the highlights of the tour.
Elin made sure we did not leave Jeju and South Korea without knowing a little bit about it. Great knowledge and amazing personality.
