Jeju is an island off the southern coast of the Korean peninsula. It is not a big island making it ideal for a short driving vacation. Navigating the island is easy as all rental cars come equipped with GPS. Although there are public bus services plying the island, driving saves time and allows you to visit more places including those off the beaten path.
Unlike GPS in some countries where you type in addresses, the GPS devices in Korea use telephone numbers of the destination for pin pointing its location for navigation.
During my trips to Jeju I have researched and compiled a list of phone numbers of places of interest in Jeju. The list is quite comprehensive and I hope it saves you some time if you’re planning a trip there. The phone numbers are obtained from various sources like VisitKorea site and Jeju travel guides I picked up on my trips there.
I will keep this list as current and accurate as possible. If you find any errors please let me know through the contact page or comment below. It will help other travellers like you too.
Under the “Verified” column, “Yes” are phone nos that I’ve personally verified to be accurate. The table can be sorted by places of interest or region.

Hai KK Yong, i would like to seek your advice on the itinerary to visit jeju. As mention perviously in your post, at least 4 days to cover the whole Jeju. Does it will be lot easier if i segregate 1 day for 1 region? means for 1st day i spend the south area and 2nd in east, 3rd in west and 4th in north area? Or do u have other advice then this?
Hi Lynn,
Changing hotel every day takes up precious time checking in and out. Jeju is not very big so you can choose to stay at Jeju city in the North and Seogwipo in the South. The majority of the hotels are located in these 2 areas. For attractions in the East and West regions you can visit them enroute between the 2 cities. Most places of interest are within 2 hours from Jeju city or Seopwipo. I am assuming you are driving. If you have more than 4 days I suggest staying longer in Seogwipo as they are more places of interest in the South. And if you can spare another day do visit to Udo Island in the East.
Hope this helps.
hi kk yong,
is it safe for a woman to travel alone in jeju and udo? i plan to go there in early may. i’ve never hired a car when traveling overseas before so i’m a bit worried.
Hi Ladda,
Yes it is safe for a woman to travel alone in Jeju and Udo. That said, do take necessary precautions like not going out too late at night alone. Places frequented by tourists are usually quite crowded so these places are very safe.
As for driving, if you have not driven in a foreign land before it can be quite daunting. Although the cars are equipped with GPS it may also cause distractions on unfamiliar traffic situations like looking out for signposts, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings of which there are many. Also be aware that it is left hand drive.
Hope this helps.
Hi Kk Yong
With regards to the GPS, is it preferable to have Korean GPS which can search by phone number? Do they have both Korean and English languages?
Hi Lay,
It is better to have an English GPS so you can understand the speech prompts. The screen language on the English GPS is still in Korean. You’ll have no problem entering phone nos in the English or Korean GPS. The car rental crew will go through the screen menu with you and the basics on how to enter phone nos.
Hope this helps.
Hi Kk Yong
Thank you so much for your advice. Do you know which car rental company provides reasonable price for rental, convenient and better services?
Hi Lay, you’re most welcome.
I used Lotte car rental (formerly known as KTKumho) and SIXT on separate trips. I prefer Lotte’s service. Prices for both are competitive.
Before you book, apply for International Driving Permit (IDP).
This post on driving in Jeju has more details.
If you decide to rent from Lotte, register to get better prices/discounts. This is the link to their site:

Hope this helps.
Seem like Googlemap won’t work in jeju island? I guess we have no choice but to rent the local GPS?
Yes Googlemaps may not have the whole Jeju island completely mapped out. Better to have a dedicated Korean/English GPS if you are driving.
Hello,
Thanks for your advices!
I will stay for a week in Jeju in mid september 🙂
Google Maps indeed doesn’t work but Waze works! Both on smartphone and computer. I will use that with a wifi egg in addition to the car GPS just in case.
You’re welcome Thomas. Good to know that Waze works 🙂
Enjoy your holiday in Jeju!
Hi, do you know if the gps works well in Udo? We’re planning to bring our car to Udo and drive around. Thanks!
Hi Huei Ying,
GPS doesn’t work so well in Udo. But the island is small it’s not a problem finding your way around. When you buy the ferry tickets you will be given a map of Udo. A good scenic drive will be to take the coastal route. It will loop back to the ferry jetty.
Enjoy your time in Udo!
Hi
Which Jeju tour companies would you recommend to use? We 4 people are planning to stay 4 days and 3 nights in May? Would you know any good Airbnb in jeju?
Thank you
Hi Kelley,
I am not sure about the tour companies as I have not used any before. Same for Airbnb as I have not booked any. Since you are staying just 3 nights look for accommodation around Seogwipo area which is nearer to the scenic attractions. Apologies I couldn’t be of much help for your queries.
