“We had a wet and wild introduction to Jeju Island on May 1st, 2025 with the rain and wind. Peter Kim was our guide and he was great! We had a slight change to our scheduled tour due to the weather but Peter made it work. We didn't feel like we missed out on anything. Peter has great knowledge of the island and it's people. He was also entertaining and engaged well with everyone on board. We have no hesitation in recommending Peter as a guide.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful day thanks to our guide, Sam. From the very beginning, the tour felt like a private experience — there were only four of us, and Sam made sure each moment counted. He shared rich historical insights and even pointed out a unique stone found near the spot where the Buddha was cremated — something I would have completely missed without his guidance. For lunch, he took us to an incredible local restaurant that I would never have discovered on my own. Then, he kindly introduced me to a local fruit market and a Korean dessert shop — thoughtful little extras that made the day even…”

She explained about the Jeju history pretty well. I really enjoyed the trip. I wish the weather was good so that could have seen the diving show. But overall one of the best trip. Initially was sceptical how I would manage alone but met such a beautiful souls in the trip which made it even more memorable. I don’t think alone I would have enjoyed this much! Thank you for this tour🫶🏻”
