The islands of Ulluengdo and Dokdo in the east coast of Korea give you a very unique experience of Korean island life. Wonderful can help you plan and book your trip to Ulleungdo. If you have a day to spare, we would also suggest taking a trip to the famous Dokdo island.
The islands are only accessible by ferry, so interested parties need to travel through ports at Gangneung, Pohang or Hupo. It is about a 3-hour journey and the ferries start every morning from these ports to Ullengdo and leave the island for the mainland in the afternoons. Please be reminded that due to the unpredictable nature of weather, ferries can be cancelled at anytime, though the tickets would be fully refunded.
The island has an array of lodging choices which includes resorts with sea view rooms, hotels to regular motels and pension houses.
