I participated in YEHA Tour's one-day tours for two consecutive days, covering carefully selected Jeju Island attractions in the southwest and east, offering a comprehensive experience. Although the itinerary was a bit tight, thankfully all the tour members were punctual, and we got to see all the sights. Both days, our guide was Hailey, who was able to provide clear explanations in English and was happy to interact. She has experience as a Chinese tour guide, so you can chat with her to help her review her Chinese. For the eastern tour, I highly recommend Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak and Gwangchigi Beach. The volcano in the sea combined with the blue sky and white clouds is just too beautiful, truly deserving of its status as a World Natural Heritage site.

I participated in YEHA Tour's one-day tour for two consecutive days, which included a comprehensive selection of Jeju Island's characteristic attractions in the southwest and east. Although the itinerary was a bit tight, fortunately, the group members were able to gather on time, and we saw all the scenery we were supposed to see. Both days happened to have Hailey as the guide, who was able to provide clear explanations in English and was happy to interact. She has experience as a Chinese tour guide, so you can chat with her to help her review her Chinese. I highly recommend the Songaksan Trail on the southwest itinerary, where you can simultaneously see Mt. Bangsan/Mt. Hallasan/Brother Rock from afar. The blue sky, white clouds, and the boundless sea are just too beautiful.

we were lucky they didn’t cancel our tour as it was only me and my friend, so it was pretty nice of them as I saw they have 3 minimum policy for their tour. he was flexible with what we wanted but took us to eat at the perfect place which was Jeju beef soup. he also took photos of us, told us lot of Jeju history and taught some Jeju dialect. he was very nice and the ride was smooth and didn’t make me too sick as I get car sick easily. the itinerary was perfect as we got to see many places in shot amount of time. thanks Lucas

My first time in Jeju and did my first tour with Yeha as a solo female traveller. My guide - Jeju Mama (Elin) is amazing and i enjoyed the tour so much! She even helped me take photos and guided me on how to pose (I’m extremely awkward taking photos on my own). One of the best tours I’ve ever been on!!!
