Getting around Jeju Island with Public Transportation Guide

Jeju Island is a beautiful island, but it’s not easy to get around because there is no subway or train. If this is your first-time travel to Jeju Island in Korea, you will feel even more lost and struggle for sure.

For first-time visitors to Jeju Island, keep reading this transportation guide for your trip!

How to get around Jeju island?

In Jeju Island, there are various types of transportation options-  bus, taxi, car, motorcycle/scooters, and bikes – and each type offers its own unique travel experiences.

Since there are no trains or subway in Jeju Island, buses and taxis are the two main public transportation on the island.

In Jeju Island, there is the City Bus , Tourist Shuttle Bus, and A ir port Limousine Bus and these buses cover almost all of Jeju Island.

Taking one of these is the cheapest way to get around the island. However, there is the occasional inconvenience of having to wait long intervals for the next bus or so that can be time-consuming.

* All buses accept cash or the country-wide T-money transit card, but we recommend using the T-money card for the fare because you can transfer twice, each within 40 mins, for free.

1. City Bus

Intercity buses run between the intercity bus terminals of Jeju City and Seogwipo via several different routes. These buses make several stops at major tourist attractions, but not at every stop like the intra-city bus does.

The base fare is 1,200 KRW and is surcharged by distance. The interval is around 15~30 mins. For travelers and tourists, taking the intercity bus is a better option.

Bus No. 201 runs every 15~30 mins (Jeju Bus Terminal – Seongsan Ilchulbong – Seogwipo Bus Terminal) – for looking around the east coast of Jeju Island.

Bus No. 202 runs every 15~25 mins (Jeju Bus Terminal – Gosan – Seogwipo Bus Terminal) – for looking around the west coast of Jeju Island.

Check out these facts about buses in Jeju.

1) Cheaper bus fare than Seoul

• The basic fare will be set at 1,200 KRW (1,150 KRW for rechargeable bus card or T-money cardholders)
• Express bus fares: 2,000 to 3,000 KRW per person, per trip
• The time for transferring buses without an extra charge is 40 mins, a maximum of 2 times per fare.

2) 876 buses in services

3) Free Wi-Fi available onboard

4) Number system to identify type of bus, the departing stop, the final stop, and the bus route

hello, what the best transportation if i go to Jeju in 3 or 4 days???

Jeju Golden Tour Bus can be a great option if you are traveling alone and save money. But if you are traveling in a group, booking a taxi tour or a private van or renting a car is recommended. 🙂

Hello! I am planning to visit Jeju in April this year with my family (5pax) and I was looking at the rates for hiring a private driver with a van at USD210. Is the price for 1 pax or for the hire of the van and driver?

Hello! Regarding your inquiry, the price is for hiring 1 van. 🙂

Hello gotrazy, I was wondering if it is better to go on a guided one day tour for 2 pax or would it be better if we were to travel around by ourselves? i saw the opinions for your guided one day tour and noticed that it was split into different courses, and there are places which we would like to see in both the courses but we are only there for about 1 and a half day, so we can only picked either one of the courses if we were to join your tour.

Hello Olivia! Unless you rent a car and self-drive, it will be difficult for the two of you to get around the island so we recommend you to join the guided one-day tours as they provide you a transportation, which will make your trip very convenient and hassle-free. Since the one-day tours follow a fixed itinerary, it will be hard for you to visit all the places you want in one day. But if you would like to arrange a customized tour, we recommend you to check out Jeju Taxi Tour from this link: https://www.trazy.com/experience/detail/jeju-taxi-tour-guide Hope this helps!

Hello, We are a family of 5 adult + 1 infant planning to visit jeju in June for 4days 3 nights. Do you recommend us to rent a car or just go for public transport? We plan to visit hello kitty island and teseum safari museum. Beside this, which is the most convenient place to stay if we plan to travel by public transport.

Thank you 🙂

If you are interested, please check out this link for more information: https://www.trazy.com/experience/detail/jeju-taxi-tour-guide We do not offer a booking service for accommodation in Jeju Island but if you are looking for hotels located in downtown Jeju City, please refer to our suggestions below: 1) Hotel Leo https://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Hotel_Leo_Jeju.htm?a_aid=87688 2) Shilla Stay Jeju https://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Shilla_Stay_Jeju.htm?a_aid=87688 3) Ocean Suites https://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Ocean_Suites_Jeju_Hotel.htm?a_aid=87688

Hello, Is it possible to book a taxi to get a group of 3 people from Seogwipo Port to Jeju Airport? We need to be at the airport at 7AM, so there is no bus, that can get us there :(.

Thanks for reply

Hello Lukas! Regarding the airport transfer service in Jeju Island, only a van and a mini bus are available on our website, but please the service operates from 8:00am. Instead, we recommend you to grab a taxi from your accommodation on the day, which will be easier and more affordable. We hope everything works out for you! 🙂

Thank you, It will do. I just wasn´t sure, if there is any taxi in Seogwipo, that can take us to the Airport.

Hello, your post is very helpful! We will be arriving at Jeju International Airpot at 22:00, so I was wondering how to get to Seogwipo, I searched the Internet, but I only found out that the last shuttle bus departs from the airport at 22:00, but in your post I read that there is a late-night Limousine Bus that departs from Jeju International Airport at 22:50. Is this information still true and up to date? Will we be able to catch it? If you could confirm this information, we would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello Anita! Yes, the late-night limousine bus No. 600 departs at 22:25pm and 22:50pm. But we strongly advise you to go to the bus stop at the airport before the last time departure and check the timetable again just to make sure.:)

Find your way around Jeju Island and look out for points of interest in your vicinity!

There is no subway system on Jeju Island but the buses are plentiful and comfortable. Bus routes cover almost all of Jeju Island and are the most economical way to get around, as well as being one of the most scenic. Fares on all bus types on Jeju Island can be paid in cash or with a rechargeable T-money card, available for purchase at convenience stores. Basic bus fare is 1,200 won (1,150 won with T-money card) for all types of buses, except for express bus. You will be able to transfer a maximum of two times per fare only when using T-Money Card. In other words, you can go to every corner of Jeju Island on only 1,150 won. Free WiFi is also installed in all buses and stops on Jeju Island.

1. Jeju Bus System

The Jeju bus system divides the island into four regions; Northeast (Jocheon, Gujwa), Northwest (Aewol, Hallim, Hangyeong), Southeast (Namwon, Pyoseon, Seongsan), Southwest (Andeok, Daejeong). There are 45 bus routes that run in these areas. The types of Jeju buses are 4; Express bus, Main line bus (including Jeju City and Seogwipo City), Feeder line bus (including Jeju City and Seogwipo City), Rural routes and Tourist bus. The new numbering system, which was introduced as of August 26, 2017 will help you easily identify the type of bus, departing stop, and bus route. Intercity express buses are 100 numbers, city buses (main line bus) for Jeju city and Seogwipo city have the numbers 200, 300 and 500, rural buses are numbered 400, 600, 700, and finally, buses in the outlying areas that take visitors to key sightseeing spots and volcanic cones have the numbers 810 and 820.

Jeju Island’s bus number system is as follows:

Each bus has a certain color depending on the types of bus., 2. types of bus, express bus.

12 express buses travel between Jeju’s main locations, including airport, city bus terminals, and transit centers (transfer bus stops), in around 1 hour. Bus fares start at 2,000 won for the first 20 km when using T-money card. An extra 200 won will be charged per 5 km after that, up to a maximum fare of 3,000 won. If you pay in cash, the maximum fare of 3,000 won will be charged.

Main line bus

Main line buses connect comfortably to places throughout Jeju. However if you are in a hurry, you would be better to take express buses, since main line buses stop at almost every station on all bus routes. Some main line buses usually go the same direction with express buses.

Feeder line bus

Feeder line buses reach almost every corner of Jeju island. You can comfortably and easily transfer from an express bus or a main line bus free of charge when using T-money card. (If you use cash, you cannot get transfer discounts.)

Tourist bus: Tourist area circulation routes

Jeju island is home to a number of UNESCO designated World Natural Heritage sites such as Manjanggul Cave and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, as well as distinct tourist attractions like the numerous oreums (Jeju dialect for small volcanic cones) scattered around the island. As major attractions are situated all over the island, joining a tourist bus would be a great option to get around Jeju. Two bus routes cover Jeju’s most popular tourist scenic spots. The Eastern District Tourist Area Circulation Bus (810-1 and 810-2) departs from Daecheon Transit Center and passes the Jeju World Natural Heritage Center, Bijarim Forest and YongnuniOreum. The Western District Tourist Area Circulation Bus (820-1 and 820-2) covers Shinhwa World, the Jeju Aerospace Museum, Jeju O’sulloc Tea Museum, JeojiOreum and other spots in the southwest.

How to travel solo in Jeju without a car (bus/taxi guide)

By: Author Jaclynn Seah

Posted on Published: October 15, 2022  - Last updated: March 12, 2024

Categories Korea

Jeju may be an island, but it is South Korea ‘s largest island and a lot bigger than what most people might imagine – it’s more than twice as big as Singapore! Most people recommend self-driving around Jeju for the most flexibility and so you can reach more remote places around the island, but renting a car may not be the cheapest or most practical option especially when on your own. I visited Jeju solo and took a combination of buses and taxis to explore, and thought I’d share my tips on taking public transport in Jeju and exploring Jeju without a car for anyone planning to do the same.

Looking for more posts on Jeju? Check out my guide to northwest Jeju’s Aewol and Hallim , southwest Jeju from Sanbangsan to Seogwipo City , east Jeju highlights Seongsan Ilchulbong and Seopjikoji , or explore Jeju’s offshore islands like Biyangdo or Udo .

Why I chose not to drive in Jeju

Where i travelled in jeju, public buses in jeju, how to take public bus in jeju, taxis in jeju, how to take taxi in jeju, stay connected: data options.

I have a Class 3 car driving license in Singapore and while I’m open to the idea of driving in foreign countries to get around, I usually avoid renting a car if I’m travelling solo because I get a bit nervous at the idea of driving alone in an unfamiliar place. Oddly enough I’m happy to jump on a scooter (especially on cute little islands with little traffic), but not so much on my own.

Expensive for one person: on average, renting a car was going to cost me at least 120,000 KRW (S$120) per day. This cost is definitely okay if you have at least one other person to split it with, but not something I was willing to pay on my own.

Heavy traffic: Jeju traffic can be quite heavy especially in and around the major city areas like Jeju City and Seogwipo. You will run into peak time traffic jams in these areas. Isn’t it always better to be able to relax and space out in a traffic jam than have to stress about driving through it?

Unfamiliar roads/signage: Korea drives on the right side of the road, whereas Singapore drives on the left side, so it would take some adjustment for me to get used to the direction changes. Also I would have to rely on GPS to navigate and I think I’d be stressed out trying to find my way and unable to just appreciate the scenery and drive. I’d be ok to drive with at least one other person with me to help me out, but I didn’t want to do this on my own.

A note that you will need to apply for your International Driving Permit (IDP) if you plan to drive in Korea – pop by AA and it’s done pretty quickly for $20. I got mine done for this trip in about 15 minutes but ended up not using it.

Another thing about Korea is that for international licenses, you absolutely cannot rent a motorbike/scooter (A class on the IDP) with just a car license (B class on the IDP) unfortunately, which was a problem for me on the island of Udo where the main mode of transport are these electric scooters/bike cars.

Can you explore Jeju without a car? I did it! I spent 10 days in Jeju and split up my trip into different segments so I could reduce the amount of long transits crossing the island. For example, getting from Aewol to Seogwipo takes at least an hour even by car.

• Day 1-4: 3 nights in Aewol and exploring the northwest region (Aewol, Hallim, Biyangdo ) – see my guide to Northwest Jeju
• Day 4-7: 3 nights in Seogwipo exploring the south coast up to Seongsan Ilchulbong in the east – see my guide to Southwest Jeju
• Day 7-9: 2 nights in Udo
• Day 9-11: 2 nights in Seoul
• Day 11-12: 1 final night in Jeju City to catch my morning flight back to Singapore

The cheapest and easiest way to get around Jeju is to hop onto one of their public buses. Jeju has a fairly extensive network of buses categorised into 4 different bus types with their own assigned colour.

Red: Express intercity buses – if you’re based in Seogwipo, this is the fastest way for you to get from Jeju airport.

Blue: Intercity buses – these go between cities but stop at many small stops along the way. The buses that I took the most were probably 201 and 202 that circle the island along the coast from Jeju City to Seogwipo – 201 covers the east side while 202 covers the west side. They are not a bad way to enjoy seeing the island for cheap, but they can be quite slow as they stop at every stop along the way.

Green: City buses – these cover shorter routes within a certain area/city.

Yellow: Tourist buses – these stop at major tourist stops around the island. There is a west loop and an east loop. I took one of these buses and it even had a multilingual guide lady on board who helped passengers sort out which stop they needed to stop at.

Learn more about Jeju’s bus system or search for Jeju’s bus routes to plan your journey.

Signage at jeju bus stops

Bus stops in Jeju can range from basic signposts with some paper schedules, or fancier covered shelters with an interactive touch screen that shows you the arrival of the many buses at the bus stop, and you can use it to look at other bus routes. Ideally you’d want to have Naver Maps (more on that below) on hand so you aren’t stuck without a clue even if you are at a basic bus stop with no digital signage.

Remember to hail your bus: Buses may not always stop at all stops, so make sure to flag down your bus if you see it coming.

Signage on Jeju Buses

Jeju’s buses are pretty excellent for tourists even if they don’t understand Korean. Most buses have a TV screen in front that automatically announces the next stop’s name and shows the route and following stops. For certain stops there are even English announcements, so it’s pretty easy to keep track of where you are especially if you have Naver Maps to help you see if you are approaching your destination.

How to signal your stop: when you hear your stop being announced, hit the stop button and start preparing to disembark.

Ring Routes: 201 and 202

The buses that I took the most often were probably 201 and 202. These are blue intercity buses that circle the island along the coast from Jeju City to Seogwipo – 201 covers the east side while 202 covers the west side. They are not a bad way to enjoy seeing the island for cheap, but they can be quite slow as they stop at every stop along the way.

Tip: if you are planning to travel a long distance along the coast, it might be much cheaper to take a bus rather than a cab that takes about the same amount of time. For example, I took the bus back from Seopjikoji Beach (east) to Seogwipo (south) – the journey by taxi would have taken about 1 hour and cost about 39,000 KRW, while the bus ride took just 10 minutes longer and cost just 1,200 KRW.

Both taxi and bus in this case had to travel the same main highway which is why the timing was about the same, and also there was a jam so I would have been quite high-strung watching my taxi meter jump whereas in the bus I just chilled out.

Use Naver Maps to check bus routes and arrival times

In Jeju,  Naver Maps  is essential for taking public transport as it works out the distance by driving, as well as the bus timings, arrival and connections. It’s useful to gauge how long or difficult it might be to get to a certain place.

There is an English map interface that you can use to search, but sometimes the spelling/spaces of the English names aren’t always accurate, so having the Hangul name or address on hand to search is also useful, or you can pinpoint the place on the map visually if you can kinda read Korean. I usually bookmark the location once I have found it.

How to access Naver maps: Download Naver Maps app from the Apple App Store  or  Google Play store . You’ll need to sign up for a Naver account to use it but it’s free and easy to do. WIth an account, you can also save locations to lists and rename them to a more familiar/English name if you need to.

Get a T-Money Card to pay for bus rides

Having a T-Money card is essential for taking the bus anywhere in Korea. You preload the card with some cash and tap on the reader as you enter and exit the bus. You can pay with cash on the bus if you do have to, but fumbling with money at the door is no fun at all.

Besides being more convenient, the T-Money rate is usually slightly cheaper than the cash rate (about 100 KRW cheaper for adults) and you can get transfer discounts within half an hour if you have to do a few bus hops – just make sure to tap out at the exit. 

A T-Money card is cheap – the standard rate is 2,500 KRW (fancier designs may cost more) and it doesn’t expire either so you can always reuse it on future trips. Foreigners can also get the Korea Tour Card for 4,000 KRW which you can use as a T-Money card and gives you additional attraction perks. (If you have an Android phone, there is a Korea Tour Card app which lets you use the card on your phone, but the reviews look… not great)

How to charge T-Money card in Jeju: Because there are no subways here, you will need to find a convenience store (CU, 7-eleven etc) to charge your T-Money card, which for some odd reason can only be done in CASH at the counter (it is one of the few things you’ll need physical money for in all of South Korea, more info here ) and you charge in increments of 1,000 KRW. Check out the KTO site for a detailed rundown on the use of transportation cards in Korea .

Where to buy and charge T-Money card at Jeju Airport: If you intend to take the bus as soon as you touchdown at Jeju Airport, there are CU and 7-eleven stores within the building on the upper levels where you can buy a T-money card and charge it. Make sure you have cash for that.

Sometimes buses aren’t the most efficient way to get around, especially in more remote areas where there’s a long wait for the next bus or the bus takes a very winding route. I was carrying a larger suitcase on this trip which I tried hauling up the bus (don’t try this at peak, the public buses are super narrow) and a taxi definitely was a more comfortable way to travel. 

I had no problems getting a taxi throughout my time in Jeju, nor was it too expensive. My most expensive rides were roughly hour long journeys from Gwakji Beach to Seogwipo (about 43,000 KRW) and Seogwipo to Seongsan Harbour (about 46,000 KRW). My other shorter trips ranged from 5,000-15,000 KRW.

Use Kakao T App to book taxis

Kakao T  is a really useful app where you can easily book a taxi. You can key in the information or set location via map so you won’t even have to worry about communication issues with the driver and you can track the route on your phone. It has a whole host of functions but I’ve really only used it for getting a taxi.

How to use Kakao T: If you’ve used Grab or Uber before you’ll find it similar – enter your destination to get a price quote and estimated time, request your taxi and wait till you get an assigned driver. You will also be able to see how far/near the driver is and track your route as well.

Download Kakao T from  Apple App Store  or  Google Play store . You’ll need to download Kakao Talk and sign up for a free Kakao account to use, and you can use your own phone number (no need Korean number) as well to verify the account.

Pay taxi fare with credit card

In terms of making payment on Kakao T, select Pay Direct to Driver when you make your booking because you won’t be able to link your credit card directly without a Korean ID. All the taxis I took were able to take credit card, so you don’t have to worry about handling cash either – my  Wise card  [ referral link ] worked in most places all across Korea including the taxis and I liked how easy it was to convert SGD to KRW and the rates were much better than the money changer.

Even if you randomly hail a cab, they should also be able to accept credit card.

I cannot stress how important it is to have data  when trying to navigate in South Korea – I got an unlimited data plan so I never had to worry about using maps and translations or trying to hail a rideshare.

Data isn’t that expensive and there are plenty of websites offering different plans and ways to connect. See what works best for you, but here’s a quick run-down of what’s available:

• eSIM cards : My current go-to option for data overseas because you can easily install a data plan without removing your existing SIM card, have access the moment you touch down and no need to worry about where to pick up the card. Cons are that you don’t usually have a Korean phone number which may be an issue if your taxi driver is trying to call you, but it’s not a big issue in my opinion. Here’s the  unlimited data Frewie eSIM I used from Klook  [ affiliate link ] that cost about S$38 or you can check out eSIM sites like  Airalo  [ affiliate link ] though I found those plans a tad pricier.
• Prepaid SIM card:  SIM cards are usually the cheapest option with a variety of plans/time-periods available and you can often pick up in both Korea (mobile stores and at the airport), or  Changi Recommends  has several Korean SIM card options that you can pick up at the Singapore airport – for some reason most of their SIMs only have an Incheon pickup. I’d get this if I was on a budget or needed a local Korean number, but check as not all SIM cards offer domestic calls/texts. Klook has a  KT-Olleh 4G LTE unlimited data-only SIM card  [ affiliate link ] that allows you to top up 11,000 KRW (about S$11) for some voice calls.
• Portable Wifi Device:  Good if you are more security conscious and have multiple devices like tablets and laptops to connect, or you’re travelling in a group and looking to save money but can be cumbersome because it’s an additional device to carry around that needs to be charged, and you have to pickup/return usually at the airport if you use Changi Recommends .

Sunday 25th of February 2024

Hi Jaclynn! Is it really easy to get a taxi anywhere in Jeju? We are a group of 6-7pax, so will probably need to take 2 sedan taxi, correct? We will travel to the common tourist areas (Yeongmori beach, Seopjikoji, Hallim Park, the waterfalls, etc) with elderly and children.

Jaclynn Seah

I'd recommend using an app to call a cab rather than try and hail one by the road, especially if you have a larger group. There may be cars that can take more than the usual 4 pax, but you'll need to check the app, and there might not be as many cars available. If you have elderly and a big group, you may want to consider hiring a car with driver, or renting a car instead?

Wednesday 3rd of January 2024

Hello, Jaclynn! We will be going to Jeju this coming April. Have you noticed anyone with big luggages on Bus 201 or express bus? Cuz we will change hotel on the second day from Seongsan area to Seogwipo. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Friday 5th of January 2024

The red express intercity buses go from the airport so those big luggages are ok, I did have a big luggage when I took the blue 202 from Aewol to Gwakji (see my Aewol post for more) but luckily the bus wasn't crowded because my luggage took up the whole aisle area, would not recommend if you have big luggage. Just take a taxi! It's not that expensive, and you said 'we' so I'm assuming you're in a group which is even better - I went from Seogwipo to Seongsan in a taxi when I went to Udo and it cost me 46,000 KRW then, which for such a long trip isn't that pricey, and even more worthwhile if you're splitting the cost. hope that helps!

Hi Jaclyn! I will be heading to Jeju for a round island cycle. Had been looking for luggage transport from hotel to hotel so we can cycle without any hassle. Do you have any recommendation? I had found one company but they yet to get back up to date.

@Jaclynn Seah, thank you so much! =D

hello! I asked my Korean friend if she had any recommendations and she sent me this link: http://www.gabangplease.net/ but she's not sure if they speak English, but you could check them out to see, hope that helps a little!

Hi Jaclyn! I'm Headed to Jeju in September (Very soon!). My main worry is wanting to go to a few bars while in Jeju I hear transportation shuts down after 10 pm. Do you know if I would still be able to get a cab through Kakao T at like 1 am or 2 am?

Hi Christina, I've not experienced this myself but checked with a Korean friend - it should be ok to get a cab on Kakao T late at night, but a suggestion is that instead of Kakao T, it might be better to ask the bar host to call a taxi for you because they'll definitely know which companies are available. Alternatively, try and stay close to the bars you want to go to so you can just walk home after instead! Hope that helps :)

Hi Jaclyn, I’m thinking of going on a last min 6days trip to Jeju in mid April ….any advice on how to start planning ? Can’t drive too. Need hotel accommodation guide. Is mid April a good scenary nice ? Should I go ahead or postpone!!

It should be nice weather in April! Not too hot but not too cold. Perhaps figure out what you want to see in Jeju and then work out your itinerary from there? Your best options for accom will probably be Jeju City or Seogwipo for sheer convenience - perhaps look at hotels near the bus stations? Good luck and have fun!

Public Transportation in Jeju

The public bus system in Jeju reaches into the far corners of the island, and it is a great option if you’re looking for a slower pace of travel to enjoy the sights and scenery.

The public bus system in Jeju reaches into the far corners of the island, and it is a great option if you’re looking for a slower pace of travel to enjoy the sights and scenery. If you’re coming to Jeju for a walking tour on the Olle Walking Trails, buses may be the best mode of transportation for you. 

Whatever you’re in Jeju to do, the ease and affordability of public buses will make it a great choice all-around.

In 2017, the provincial government completely revised and expanded the public bus system to make it bigger, better, and easier to use. Buses and bus stops are equipped with free, stable WiFi, and many bus stops on the island also have touch-screen displays showing you the current status of the buses en route. 

There are several bus apps you can download, like the free real-time bus app provided by the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province which has options for Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese. KakaoMap is another great app with a real-time bus layer with services provided in Korean and English. A helpful bus route map can be downloaded on our website.

Red buses are express buses that link up all 4 cardinal points of the island and are numbered in the 100s. Red buses are a great way to save time on travel because they skip many of the local stops and only service key destinations, like transit centers and popular tourist attractions. 

Blue buses are intercity and city buses and are numbered in the 200, 300, and 500s. 

Green buses are branch buses numbered in the 400, 600, and 700s. These buses are also known as “village buses”, and they have shorter routes and travel smaller roads in the cities or villages in the country. These buses may travel less frequently, so wait times may be long.

Airport limousine buses are large buses with a compartment for luggage that travel between the airport and Seogwipo with few stops in between. There are 3 airport limousine buses: bus nos. 600, 800, and 800-1. All three buses travel to Seogwipo on the west side of Hallasan Mountain. The 600 goes through Jungmun Tourist Complex and ends at Seogwipo KAL Hotel. Expect about a 50-minute from the airport to Jungmun and an 80-minute ride to the KAL Hotel.

Both the 800 and 800-1 skip over Jungmun and go straight toward Seogwipo City. Bus no. 800 ends at the Seogwipo Bust Terminal with a total ride time of about 70 minutes. Bus no. 800-1 ends at the Jungang Rotary in the center of Seogwipo City with a total ride time of about 80 minutes.

For the sake of convenience and cost, a transportation card, like Tmoney, is highly recommended.  A Tmoney card can be purchased and refilled at any major convenience store and can be used throughout Korea on buses, subways, and taxis. You also get free transfers with a card, up to 2 times within 40 minutes of getting off your first bus. Keep in mind, you must swipe the card again as you get off, and free transfers will not apply if you get back on the same bus route/number.

Pro Tip : You can pay for multiple people on a single card. Simply let the driver know how many people are boarding, then wait for his cue to swipe! Free transfers will not be eligible if you use this method.

Airport limousines and express buses charge slightly more than trunkline buses. If paying by transportation card, fares start at a base rate of ₩2,000 ($1.60 USD) for adults, ₩1,600 for youth aged 13 to 18, and ₩1,000 for children aged 6 to 12. These prices apply for the first 5 km, after which the price will increase incrementally to a maximum of ₩3,000 for adults ₩2,400 for youth, and ₩1,500 for children. The difference will be taken out of your card when you swipe to disembark. If paying by cash, the maximum fare must be paid upon boarding.

Aside from the Jeju International Airport, there are 4 major transit hubs on the island: Jeju Bus Terminal (north), Seogwipo Bus Terminal (south), Daecheon Transit Center (east), and Donggwang Transit Center (west). The Jeju and Seogwipo Bus Terminals are convenient places to find an express bus to help you travel longer distances more quickly. The Daecheon and Donggwang Transit Centers in the east and west, respectively, are where you want to go to transfer to the Tourist Shuttle Buses. The Daecheon and Donggwang centers look just like a normal bus stop but with a small, attached office to purchase tourist shuttle bus tickets.

Operating times will vary by bus and route. In general, buses begin running at around 6 a.m., and the last bus departs for its final route at around 10 p.m. Intervals between buses will also vary by location and route. Many city buses run very frequently, so you will not have to wait long before the next bus arrives. However, if you are outside of the city and away from major tourist attractions, expect to wait up to an hour or more.

Korean map apps are very useful and are highly recommended for your trip in general. They will come in especially handy if you plan on using public transportation. Kakao Map can not only search bus routes for you, but it has a bus layer that you can toggle on that shows you where buses are in real-time. This comes in handy when you’re waiting or searching for a bus, but it’s also very useful to track your location when you’re on a bus and you’re not sure when to get off. Remember, every bus is equipped with free WiFi, so using navigation apps on the bus will be a breeze!

Tourist shuttle buses are not for general travel, as it only stops at major tourist attractions. However, you are free to hop on if it’s going your way! A tour guide on board will narrate a tour in Korean with brief descriptions about each spot. While the guide is only in Korean, there are TV screens at the front of the bus that tells you which stop is next in both Korean and English, along with a voiced announcement in English. The tour guide will also let you know if the place you’re stopping at is closed for the day, which will save you the trouble of finding out for yourself. The bus fare is the same as public buses with an added option of purchasing a full day pass for ₩3,000 ($2.50 USD). You can purchase these at the connecting transit center (Daecheon or Donggwang). There are 2 routes: bus nos. 810 and 820.

Bus no. 810   circles the east side of the island which is known for its beautiful volcanic cones, or oreums. The travel route winds its way through some of the most iconic oreums on the island, and you can experience the beauty of oreums in one shot simply by taking this bus. Bus 810-1 travels clockwise and 810-2 goes counter-clockwise. Daecheon Transit Center is the first and last stop on the route and where you can purchase a day-pass bracelet. You can also pick up pamphlets in English that will help you navigate the route. It stops at locations such as the World Natural Heritage Center, Darangswi Oreum Volcanic Cone, and Maze Land.

Bus no. 820 will give you a look at the quirkier side of the island. The 820 circles the west side of the island, well known for its museums. The connecting transit center, Donggwang, looks identical to Daecheon Transit Center. The office is a small extension of the bus stop that’s recognizable by its black windows. You can choose which direction you want to go: bus no. 820-1 travels counter-clockwise, and bus no. 820-2 travels in a clockwise route.

The double-decker Jeju City Tour Bus travels only within Jeju City, highlighting some of the most popular sites and scenery. The tour guide on board will be able to speak English and at least one other language that they specialize in, including Chinese, Japanese, and Thai.  After doing some shopping and eating in the city, you can make a stop at the beach to enjoy a cup of coffee with a view of blue skies and sea. The bus will dock at every port stop (bus and ferry terminals) until the officially scheduled departure time, so it will stay very close to scheduled service times for every stop - no need to worry about random arrival times!

The double-decker Jeju City Tour Bus also offers a nighttime tour on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets can only be purchased in advance on their website. This is the perfect tour to hit up some of the most scenic and photogenic views in Jeju City as the sun is setting, which is great for getting that beautiful golden glow in all your photos. When the weather is nice, you’ll also be making a stop on the coast for a cute nighttime picnic that the tour sets up for you.

The city of Seogwipo on the south side of the island also has a city bus tour that travels through the original city center. It’s not a double decker bus, but keeping in line with Jeju Island’s commitment to going carbon-free, it is an electric bus for public use. Bus no. 880 starts and ends at the Seogwipo Hyangto 5-Day Market, and takes you on a tour that includes some of Jeju Island’s greatest natural wonders, like Oedolgae Rock and Cheonjiyeon Falls. If you’re short on time or you want a tour that’s already curated, this one is a must-do!
