Understand

Korea's honeymoon island, subtropical Jeju is Korea's local tourist destination number one and draws an ever-increasing number of international visitors as well. The main draws are the warmer climate, the island's sandy beaches and the imposing profile of Mt. Halla (1,950m).

Talk

Get in

By plane

Jeju Airport (CJU) is Korea's third-largest airport and Seoul-Jeju is the country's busiest route, with hourly flights on both Korean and Asiana. The cozy duopoly will soon be broken by upstart Jeju Air, which hopes to start operations in summer 2006. There are also limited direct international services to Japan and China.

By boat

Ferry services from the mainland are also available, but they are comparatively infrequent and slow. There are daily services from Busan (11 hours, from W32,000 in 3rd class) and Mokpo (5.5 hours, from W19,950).
