Hire car gave great flexibility for sightseeing around Jeju Island South Korea. It was an easy and more flexible and economical alternative option to having to book group tours.

Great food. Beautiful scenery. Boat trip to U’do and cycle hire was really fun. Unexpected Hundertwasser museum on U’do was amazing.. if you like his art and architecture.
