Ulleungdo itineraries
Dodong to Jeodong on Foot
No car needed: you only walk between the island's two main harbours. Ride the cable car for the big view, follow the cliff path to Jeodong, and finish at the waterfall. It also fits perfectly on a bonus day when the ferry is cancelled.
North Coast and Nari Basin
Day one is the northern sea with Gwaneumdo and Samseonam; day two is a mountain basin and a wild-greens lunch. Sleep in Cheonbu and both are within 20 minutes.
Three Days Including Dokdo
On the second morning you board the boat to Dokdo from Jeodong. Around it, fill the days with the Dodong lookout, the northern sea, the western monorail and Nari Basin to circle the whole island.
