VISIT JEJU

Korea’s southernmost island of Marado has a tour program where residents become guides and commentators. They explain the nature, culture, history, and life history of Marado Island to its visitors, from the time it was uninhabited to the present day.

Memorable tales of Marado include the days before regular passenger boats commuted from Jeju Island, the story of a snake who escaped a fire that did not go out for more than three months, and many more tales. This is a popular commentary program where residents themselves recount interesting island stories that would otherwise be difficult to understand unless you are a local.

Marado Island Tour not only provides this additional layer of “color” to the island, where other tours are simply about exploration, but also helps visitors conveniently get around Marado by facilitating electric bike rentals. In addition to traditional boxed lunches (that vary depending on the season), you can try Marado fish cake croquettes made with fresh ingredients, including those caught by local haenyeo diving women.

※ Marado Island Tour is reservation-only, so please call before making plans to travel to Marado Island. Please note that tours will be conducted in Korean.
