Korea Trip Day 3 JEJU : Jeongbang Waterfall, Soesokkak and Jusangjeolli Cliffs (Jeju Attractions)

Fireworks to welcome us! the view in front of our home in Jeju-si

more on our Jeju Airbnb home will be written in separate post :)

I reckon you should aware that this is the sequencing part of my Korea Trip. previously, i was talking about 2D1N in Busan. Click Me if you haven't come to it yet. so, our 2nd destination is Jeju Island and we spent 4D3N in total. we arrived at Jeju International Airport at about 7pm local time from Gimhae Airport, Busan.

After resting about 30 minutes, we went out and just strolled around Jeju City which is 15 minutes walk from our home. the attempt of looking for our late dinner failed! haha NO Halal restaurant or even Pork-free was found. hence, we just bought eggs from the convenient store and went back home and ta-da cook MEGGI MEE je lah or best known as ramyeon! hahaha

So, the real thrill of exploring Jeju-do initiated on the next day! Please NOTED that all the mentioned attractions are located at the SEOGWIPO CITY whilst our home is in the Jeju-si or Jeju City.

We need to ride bus No. 781 from 'Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal' (in Jeju City which is a central station like the Pudu Raya or the TBS lah) to reach the Seogwipo City. the journey took about 1 hour and 30 minutes and believe me the view along the journey is indescribable breathtaking although i was sleeping like more than half of the journey! HAHA bapak mengantok weih 

JEONGBANG WATERFALL (정방폭포)

This 23m high waterfall is one of the 10 most scenic wonders in Jeju. undeniably, this is one of the famous attraction in Jeju as it is the ONLY waterfall in Asia that falls directly in the ocean. so, it is compulsory to be listed in your Jeju itinerary.

How To Go? If you are coming from the Jeju City, you need to take bus No.781 at 'Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal' and Stop at Dongmun Rotary (Seogwipo City). you will instantly can see that signboard on the roadside (or perhaps ask the local yar!) but please don't get too excited as you need to walk like another 20 minutes because the entrance gate is like another 1km from this Dongmun Rotary stop! hahaha seriously, it was no joke! hence, just take a taxi to cut your time and save energy. no fret as taxi fare in Jeju can be considered as cheap. 1km may cost you about 3,000 won ?? please don't convert to MYR haha

Duration? 1 hour to take photo and rejoice the tranquility moment

Fare? 2,000 won (Adults) | 1,000 won (Children) 

serius macam painting, its a jaw dropping scenic view!

"Teu" the unique traditional flat wooden boat able to carry atleast 20 people in one time

overlooking view of the Hahyo Port (lighthouse) at the Seosokkak Beach

SOESOKKAK ESTUARY (Crystal Kayaking / "Teu" Ride)

I saw this place on KBS show long time ago. i was so mesmerize over the turquoise lagoon and to my surprise, the real picture is undeniably picturesque! it is not as big as i thought, it just a small slow flowing river in between the valley that meets the ocean.

You can expect a super beautiful scenic which feels very calm and peaceful. there is a traditional riding called as "Teu" or Flat Wooden Boats that used to transport people across the estuary hundred years ago. i was actually dying to experience this ride but eventually, we opted for the canoe as it is more freedom (can paddle anywhere we want haha) and it is more privacy to take good photo. well, you are highly recommended to visit this place :)

How To Go? 

Opt 1 : as it is only like 30 minutes from Jeonbang Waterfall, we just ride a taxi!

Opt 2 : from Seogwipo area, take bus 110 and get off at Hyodon Middle School. It takes another 20 minutes of walking to reach the entrance

Duration? 1 hour and 30 minutes for the ride.

perhaps, you can plan to have your lunch stop as there are cafes, convenient store and picnic tables in here. we packed our lunch that we cook at home beforehand, lauk sardin bak hang, nikmat!

its quite tricky to find this ticket counter lol. situated at the same row of the shop on your right, if im not mistaken, its at the same area of the horse park? lol or just ask the local as we did. haha good luck!

Fare? NO entrance fee but need to pay for the activity (3 options)

1) "Teu" or Flat wooden boat - 6,000 won (Adults) | 3,000 won (children)

2) Crystal canoeing / kayaking - 15,000 won (for 2 pax)

3) Floating bike - 7,000 won (Adults) | 5,000 won (children)
