How the buses work
- Pay with a T-money card or a bank card with tap-to-pay; a ride in town costs about ₩1,200, express buses and the airport limousine cost more.
- Outside Jeju City and Seogwipo, buses come every 20 to 60 minutes and stop early in the evening. Check the next bus in Kakao Map or Naver Map, which show live arrivals.
- Taxis are easy to find in the two towns and at the airport, but rare in the countryside: ask your café or hotel to call one.
- For Udo island, take the ferry from Seongsan Port; bring your passport for the boarding form.
Where to stay without a car
Stay in Jeju City for the airport and the most buses, or in Seogwipo for the south coast; both are bus hubs. Resort areas such as Jungmun and Aewol are much easier with a car.
