Lodging, food, local transport, admissions and shopping combined. Estimates.

Hotel prices assume two guests sharing a room; peak-season prices can be higher.

Getting around

Jeju has no subway and buses run infrequently outside Jeju City and Seogwipo, so this planner assumes a rental car. Most sights are 20-60 minutes' drive apart; foreign drivers need an International Driving Permit.
