Ulleungdo is a volcanic island in the East Sea, where steep mountains and rocky cliffs meet blue water. Coastal rock formations and inland woodland trails give it a landscape distinct from the mainland. Dodong and Jeodong reveal everyday life around the island’s harbours, with Chotdaebawi Rock rising beside Jeodong Port. Local rice dishes cooked with mussels or ttagaebi shellfish offer another connection to the sea and the island communities that depend on it.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Which port should I choose, and where can I begin after arriving?

Check the operator and both port names on your ticket. Dodong, Jeodong and Sadong are separate arrival points. For a harbour first stop, begin in Dodong; a Sadong arrival needs a separate local transfer.

ARRIVE · EXPLORE · EAT

From arrival to your first stop

Choose a stop, compare the local journey, then plan where to eat. Check the food-search area before setting off.

Which port should I choose, and where can I begin after arriving?

Check the operator and both port names on your ticket. Dodong, Jeodong and Sadong are separate arrival points. For a harbour first stop, begin in Dodong; a Sadong arrival needs a separate local transfer.

Mainland ferries & Ulleungdo arrival ports

Do all ferries arrive at the same Ulleungdo port?

No. Daezer’s listed Pohang service arrives at Dodong, while Ulleung Cruise sails from Pohang Yeongilman to Sadong. These are two different Pohang departure terminals. Check both port names and the travel date on your ticket.

YOUR VISIT, CONNECTED

Plan the visit, and the way back

01

Arrive at the right place

Choose the entrance or a single stop in the official guide first. A regional or trail name is not a boarding or arrival point.

02

Eat & choose a base

Map results can include distant businesses. Check the walking or driving journey to a restaurant before choosing it. For a stay, compare arrival access and the evening return.

03

Return or move on

Check the last service on every leg before leaving. The return stop may be across the road or at another entrance.

No car, late finish, rain, luggage or access needs?

Without a car

Start with one cluster of places. Check bus direction, the return stop and the last departure before adding another area.

Bus booking & payment

Late finish or cancelled service

Keep your stay address ready. Ask for a pickup quote and return arrangement; a map route does not confirm taxi availability.

Taxi options

Rain or a closed attraction

Check the operator before departing, then choose another nearby place. Keep any return booking in mind when changing the day.

Other places in this region

Bags, children or step-free access

Confirm lift access, slopes, toilets and the exact drop-off with the venue. Do not infer accessibility from a map or photograph.
