Port summary

Gangjeong Cruise Port opened in 2017 and can berth two large ships simultaneously. The port is about 10 km west of Seogwipo city centre — shuttle buses or public buses connect you in 20–30 minutes. Jeju Island is compact enough for a full-day independent tour by bus, but distances to the east coast (Seongsan Ilchulbong) require planning. Taxis are metered and affordable; ride-hailing apps Kakao T and K-ride work well.
