Things you should know before traveling to Jeju Island

• Weather: The best time to visit is between late spring and early fall. In any case, make sure of the weather before going to the island. Four seasons can pass in one week, so take good care.
• No Google Maps: South Korea asks Google to hide military sites, but Google does not cooperate with the South Korean government, so it is forbidden and useless on Jeju Island, but you can download an application  Naver Map Supported in English, the map on the app includes information about public transportation
• Transportation: Public transportation is cheap, clean and available to everyone. Check the aforementioned application for bus times and itineraries. Because Jeju Island is large, you may need to rent a car, provided you obtain an international driving license. It is worth noting that taxis are cheap. Download the application Kakao Taxi It is the local service similar to Uber
• Place of residence: I advise you to stay in the southern part of Jeju Island, in the Jungmun area in particular, as it is surrounded by more natural areas and tourist attractions around and services are available.
• 70% of the tourists are local tourists: Try to learn some of the Korean language to deal with people in the streets, as most of the visitors are Koreans and it is difficult to find someone who speaks in English
• Internet: Because of the language, I advise you to buy an internet SIM card from the airport for about $35 for 10 days
• Plan your trip: If you don't know how to plan your trip, the best tour planning company I came across in Jeju Island is yehatour
