Fantastic 5.0
We had a very pleasant trip! Since we were the only group, it felt like having a private tour, which made the whole experience even more special. Our guide, Jason, was incredibly kind, friendly, and patient. He explained each location and its history in detail, sharing interesting information and helping us appreciate each spot even more. All the places we visited were beautiful and not crowded with tourists, so we could take our time, relax, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or stressed. We were also able to take some amazing photos! Jason also shared lots of great tips and recommendations for local food, cafes, and the best photo spots, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’re very grateful to Jason for making the trip so memorable. Highly recommended!

This small group tour was an absolute standout. It was the only tour that truly felt complete for us. Without a car, we couldn't have seen everything on Jeju on our own, but this itinerary covered all the major sights in one seamless day. The pace was perfect: roughly 30-minute drives followed by generous breaks at each attraction, giving us ample time to take photos and soak in the experience without rushing. Jason was incredibly kind, punctual, and considerate. He arrived exactly on time for our hotel pickup and returned us directly to a location of our choosing at the end of the day, so we never had to hunt for meeting points. What set this apart was his flexibility; he happily added extra stops at a folk village and a white sandy beach that weren't even in the original plan, simply to enhance our experience. Compared to other tours offering half this coverage, this was exceptional value. It was a flawless, full-circle journey around the island that perfectly completed our stay.

Thank you to Mr. Peter Kim for driving us to the sunset hiking spot. He's an excellent conversationalist and advised us where to best see the sunrise from. The sunrise was gorgeous! I will do this again.

This was an amazing experience that I got to share with my friends. All of the instructors were incredibly friendly. First, they taught us the techniques at the shop, then we practiced them on the sand before heading into the water. Even once we were in the water, they continued giving us guidance to help improve our technique on the surfboard. Definitely don’t hesitate to book with them. You’ll have a great time with wonderful people who are passionate about what they love most—surfing! 🏄🏼‍♀️

It was my first surfing lesson, and it was a huge success thanks to the coaches! They thoroughly explained all the surfing techniques, making beginners feel so welcome. You definitely won't regret giving it a try! A beautiful shot of Jeju sea that day as a bonus ;D
