Jeju Island Slow Loop Tour
Drive around the island, staying in Jeju City, Seongsan and Seogwipo, with Hallasan, Udo and the east and west coasts.
A week-long clockwise loop of the island following common guide routes. Spend two nights in Jeju City for Hallasan, two nights in Seongsan to watch the sunrise with a full half-day on Udo, and two nights in Seogwipo for the southern waterfalls and southwest coast. Then return to the airport along the west coast. Each day's drive is short, leaving room to stop at seaside cafés and adjust for the weather. Suited to repeat visitors or slow travelers who want to see Jeju's main sights.
On typhoon or strong-wind days, Udo ferries and Hallasan may close, so swap days as needed.
