[2026 Guide] How to Book a Ferry to Jeju for Foreigners (with Kia Ray Campervan)
For international travelers visiting Korea, we highly recommend "Road-trip Korea"—taking a rental car on a ferry to explore Jeju Island. In particular, a road trip with a Kia Ray campervan (K-Chabak) is the most free-spirited and budget-friendly way to travel. Here is a complete guide on how to book a ferry to Jeju and essential tips for shipping your vehicle.
1. Recommended Ferry Booking Sites & Direct Links
Since Korean ferry websites often require local authentication, we recommend using these verified global platforms for a seamless experience.
Klook – Booking from Wando to Jeju:

It provides a QR code voucher on the mobile app, making it the most convenient option for terminal check-ins.
Direct Ferries – Compare All Routes:

2. Need Help? Use the '1330' Translation Service
If you face a language barrier during booking or need assistance at the terminal, contact the 1330 Korea Travel Helpline provided by the Korea Tourism Organization.
How to Call: Dial 1330 (within Korea) / +82-2-1330 (from abroad)

3. Critical Rules for Shipping a Kia Ray Campervan ⚠️
When boarding your vehicle, the vehicle category you select significantly impacts the cost and boarding process.
Follow these rules strictly for a Kia Ray campervan:
Select 'Light Vehicle' (Kyung-cha): Always choose 'Light vehicle (Under 1000cc)' or 'Kia Ray' in the booking system.
Do NOT Select 'Camper': Even if the interior is set up for camping, do not select 'Camper' or 'Modified Vehicle.'
Registering it as a camper can result in fees 2–3 times higher or even a refusal to board.
Registering it as a standard light vehicle is the most economical and efficient way.
4. Major Ports & Estimated Costs (As of 2026)
Currently, there are no passenger ferries operating from Incheon to Jeju.
You must use ports in the southern region (Jeollanam-do).
Mokpo Port: Approx. 4h 30m. Offers the most comfortable large cruise experience (Queen Jenubia). Departures at 01:00 AM / 09:00 AM.
Jindo Port: Approx. 1h 30m. The fastest route to Jeju via the 'Santa Monica' high-speed ferry.
Wando Port: Approx. 2h 40m. Frequent departures and the easiest to book via Klook.
Estimated Cost (2 Persons + 1 Light Vehicle):
Roughly 185,000 KRW for a one-way trip (approx. 65,000 KRW for passengers + 120,000 KRW for the vehicle).
Prices may vary by season and cabin class.
5. Essential Checklist for Departure Day
Arrival Time: You must arrive at the terminal at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure for vehicle boarding.
The driver will park the car inside the ship first, then head back to the terminal to board through the passenger gate.
Required Documents: You must carry your Physical Passport and International Driving Permit (IDP).
Digital photos or photocopies are not accepted and will result in denied boarding.
Save Your Voucher: Capture a screenshot of your Klook voucher or email confirmation in case you lose internet connection at the port.
