This tour gave us a truly relaxing time along Jeju Olle. We enjoyed a beautiful and calming sunset that made the experience even more special. Jayden from Love Korea took great care of my whole family and made sure we were comfortable throughout.

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! 🏄🏼‍♀️

Jeju is my favorite island in South Korea. I had a great time with our tour guide, Lala. She was very friendly and kind by offering her umbrella, since, it was raining for few hours during the day of the tour. I was lucky to see the cherry blossom in full bloom and I took some photos. I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience during the full day tour.
