My Guide-Only Service
Maples in Bijarim Forest, Jeju Island
How it Works
Once your deposit is received and your date is confirmed, I will send over my Route Ideas Sheet featuring curated sample stops across East, West, and South Jeju.
Selecting a general direction—even if you prefer to largely "explore as you go"—helps ensure a smooth, unhurried day with maximum time enjoying the island.
I will then reach out via WhatsApp (or your preferred app) before your arrival for a brief introductory chat about your choices and thoughts about the day.
Please note that we currently process all deposits through PayPal. An active PayPal account is required to pay your deposit, though setting one up is quick and free if you don't already have one.
(Please note Maximum travel group size is 6 people.)
On the Day
After arriving in Jeju and collecting your rental car, you'll probably want to make your way to your accommodation and get settled in. I will be available at the default meeting point at 9.00am-9.30am the following morning (the scheduled date) to join you in your vehicle once you get there. For half-day requirements the meeting time can generally be set according to your wishes. If you prefer to be met at your accommodation or another location, that is fine too, however will require an allowance for taxi fees each way. This can be decided later don't worry.
Default Meeting point: Outside the convenience store across the main road from HanaroMart store [Hagwi Nonghyup Branch], 7136 Iljuseo-ro, Aewol-eup. I will explain this during my introductory call. (The meeting point is on the main road (1132) heading west from the airport — around 6 miles away. Just enter '7136 Iljuseo-ro' into Google to see the exact location.) This is also where you'll please drop me off at the end of the day.
The meeting point — Aewol
If you'd prefer to be met at the rental vehicle collection point on arrival day instead of the following morning — or in addition to it — just let me know. Please bear in mind that bookings are based on either full-day or half-day durations.
Rates For my Service
The rates for full-day (approx. 8–9 hours) and half-day (approx. 4–4.5 hours) guiding are competitive and calculated at a flat rate—not per person in the group.
Once you submit an inquiry with your date requirement, meeting location, and other preferences you will receive a tailored quote via a PayPal invoice in your preferred currency (USD or GBP).
Note: Rental car costs are not included — I travel with you as a passenger in your rental vehicle and do not drive. Quoted rates reflect the default meeting point; alternative meeting locations may include an allowance for local taxi fares.

Why a Local Jeju Guide Matters
Aewol Coastal Road, Jeju
Jeju is a beautiful island, but it is also a place where conditions can change quickly. Weather can shift during the day, coastal winds can be stronger than expected, and travel times between locations are often longer than they appear on a map. What looks simple when planning from afar can feel very different once you are actually here.
A local Jeju guide understands these realities instinctively. Jeju locals of course know Jeju best — the quieter spots, the best times to visit certain places, the coastal roads that reward a slower pace, and the kind of local knowledge that simply doesn't appear in a travel guide. They know how conditions affect specific areas and how to help shape a day that still feels enjoyable and relaxing rather than potentially disjointed or forced in any way.
