He was very patient and expertly took our pictures at the beach and at the two waterfalls in town. So glad we took this option.

Evening Strolls and Indoor Retreats

As the day winds down, Jeju’s evening ambiance invites you to explore its indoor retreats. The overcast skies and cool temperatures make it a perfect time to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the island’s quaint streets or to seek solace in one of its many cozy cafes. The island’s culinary scene offers a delightful array of traditional Korean dishes, perfect for warming up after a day of exploration. Consider ending your day with a visit to a local tea house, where the soothing environment and aromatic teas provide a tranquil conclusion to your Jeju adventure. Whether you’re sipping on a cup of green tea or indulging in a hearty bowl of Jeju’s famous black pork, the island’s offerings promise a memorable experience, even amidst the overcast skies.
