Great experience with Jay, our energetic tour guide, and he provided lots of information about Jeju Island! Mr Kim, our driver, did a wonderful & safe drive during the whole tour. Unable to see the Haenyeo divers on our tour date of 7/11/26, but went to the Haenyeo Museum instead - very nice exhibit area.
Jeju Mama is the best tour guide. I have gone on two other tours (DMZ and Busan). I think she was best guide.
From beginning to end the tour guide Clara kept us all informed and the driver kept us safe and cool. Each destination we were not only provided with information but time to really enjoy it. Most of all Clara was very personable and really made us all feel comfortable. It was such a great experience we immediately booked another tour for the following day.

I had a fantastic organized tour in Jeju Island, largely thanks to my excellent guide, Clara. She was incredibly nice, went out of her way to help me with everything I needed, and explained everything in such an interesting and engaging way. Top-tier guiding, highly recommended!

We had Clara guide us through a day of multiple varied adventures, she was awesome and gave us quick and useful information at each stop we had. We had the freedom to explore on our own with a set return time at each spot which kept everything very organized, lovely way to start our Jeju journey, 감사합니다 !

This was a fantastic and well-managed tour. Jeju Mama (Elin) was fantastic, enthusiastic and ensured that everyone was kept well informed at all times. The company and guides use Whatsapp extensively to provide full information and make sure you make all your meetups on time. The highlights were definitely the Seongeup Folk Village, Seongsan Ilchulbong and the Manjanggul Lava Tube. The coach has plenty of space if you want to take luggage with you; airport pick up (to start the tour) and drop off (after the end of the tour) is possible.

We had an amazing experience on our Jeju tour. Our tour guide, Elin or Jeju Mama, did a fantastic job in explaining us about all the places. Her energy and enthusiasm was so impressive, it builded a friendly atmosphere in the bus and the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended!!!

My friend and I booked this day trip because we only had 1.5 days to enjoy Jeju, and it was a great decision to do so! Elin (Jeju Mama) was a wonderful tour guide and the structure of the tour allowed us to hit nearly all of the island’s highlights. I think independently planning and finding transport to all of these places in one day would have been nearly impossible… Elin was extremely kind, welcoming, and seemed to genuinely care about the tourist group, remembering names, teaching Korean, taking photos, and even giving us some Jeju trivia. We really enjoyed our time with her and all of the locations we visited!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you and your friend had such a memorable time with Elin and were able to make the most of your short stay in Jeju. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her—they will truly mean a lot. Thank you for choosing Yeha Tour. We hope to welcome you back to Jeju again someday!
