Planning for Jeju 2024 trip

This is a post-mortem of my planning

  1. Google MyMaps is great for planning the sights to see. You can drag the locations to different days to make transport easier. Alternatively, shuffle them around for timing reasons, museums have opening hours, whereas nature walks don’t. You can calculate distances and even time etc.
  2. Separate your locations by colour for different days. Red for day 1, green for day 2 etc. This will make viewing the map so much easier.
  3. Unfortunately Google MyMaps on the phone is bad. This is found inside the Google Maps app, under the Saved button. You will need to scroll all the way down for the strangely labelled Maps icon. The page navigation between the legend and the locations is bad. The only way is to jump out of your map and click back in. Note Google Maps does not provide wayfinding in Korea.
  4. I ended up saving all the sites as favourites in Naver Map.
  5. Always check the weather AND the climate for the month. The weather report says hot and sunny. When we touched down, the weather report said monsoon season. Rained every other day.
  6. There is Free Jeju island Wi-Fi, but that is not reliable. Free and reliable Wi-Fi is available at every restaurant. If you are using a tourist SIM card, 2GB daily is more than enough.
  7. Almost all places accept physical credit cards. Most places don’t have the Pay Wave function. You cannot tap your phone or watch to pay.
