Basic English varies, but WhatsApp and translation apps help.

“Our tour was very good. We selected a driver ( Mr Kim) that spoke “basic English “ because we knew exactly what we wanted to see and had studied the location, route and time involved in advance of arriving on our cruise ship to Jeju Island. Our driver was courteous, an excellent driver with had an immaculate car. We had him take us to the Ocellus tea plantation ( amazing for purchasing high end tea products) and a specific area to shop afterwards in Jeju City . It was an excellent day overall. Our driver was so helpful and wanted to please us anyway he could. We would recommend this…”

2.1-Day Jeju Shore Excursion – UNESCO Highlights for Cruise Guests

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 58 reviews · from $62Best value

Spend about eight hours touring Jeju from your cruise port with a local guide, air-conditioned coach, and four major stops. From Jeju Port, see Seongsan Ilchulbong, Seopjikoji, Seongeup Folk Village, and Dongmun Market. From Seogwipo Port, visit Hallasan, Cheonjiyeon Falls, Jusangjeolli Cliffs, and Olle Market. Guides including Peter, Chloe, Julia, Sam, and Andrew have led recent departures.

“We were able to visit 4 different sites during the tour. It is a quick pace tour but if you want to see all the sites this is the way to do it! Julia our tour guide was very nice and gave excellent explanations of the places we were visiting. Bus ride was smooth and while on route to the sites Julia spoke about relevant information of Jeju island. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in covering multiple sites in the time that the cruise ship allows us to be on shore before leaving to the next destination.”
