That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

Departure: Unyeong Port, Moseulpo

Your crossing starts at Unyeong Port, Moseulpo. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. Airport limousine and local buses reach Jungmun, Seogwipo and Seongsan but they are slow and stop away from many hotels, and there is no train; taxis are cheap for Jeju City, but for luggage, the long south-coast and east-coast drives or a family, a private car from the terminal is simpler.

• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck

Arrival: Gapado port

You step off at Gapado port. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your accommodation.

Onward journeys from Gapado - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.
