Jeju Island Travel Advice

1. July and August are the peak seasons. Although it is also a typhoon-prone period, the prices of air tickets, hotels and car rentals will still rise. It is recommended to travel during this period. Friends please book early. If you don’t want to see the crowds, you can choose the four months of May, June, September, and October. The climate is still very suitable for traveling.

2. Jeju has three things: lots of wind, lots of rocks, and lots of women. For wind and stones, you need to prepare skin care products and wear comfortable shoes. If there is mountain climbing or hiking in the itinerary, it is best to wear hiking shoes.

3. A must-have item for traveling in Jeju - sunscreen, and it needs to be SPF5, PA+++ or above. Because even in winter, ultraviolet rays and sea breeze can make people black.

4. A transportation card called T-MONEY can be used in Jeju and Seoul. Before traveling, you can visit the branches of the Korea Tourism Organization in Beijing and Shanghai. You may be able to get them for free. You can recharge at convenience stores all over the streets of Jeju - CU (formerly Familymart), 7-11, GS25, etc. If you don’t have a transportation card, prepare 1,000 won/person and put coins on the bus.

5. Although Jeju Island is a relatively simple city with a small population, you still need to pay attention to safety and do not go to forests or remote places alone.
