Jeju waterfalls at a glance
The three waterfalls most visitors plan for are Cheonjiyeon in Seogwipo, Jeongbang on the Seogwipo coast and Cheonjeyeon in Jungmun. Each is a separate paid site with its own ticket. There is no combined ticket.
Jeongbang drops straight toward the coast, while the other two fall into pools. Water flow is not guaranteed at every level or in every season, so the falls can look different from one visit to the next. If you would rather see them on a guided day, the southwest Jeju day trips include Cheonjeyeon along with Jusangjeolli and a highland wetland.

| Waterfall | Adult | Youth and child | Hours | Last entry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheonjiyeon (Seogwipo) | KRW 2,000 | KRW 1,000 | 09:00–22:00 | 21:20 |

| Cheonjeyeon (Jungmun) | KRW 2,500 | KRW 1,350 | 09:00–17:50 | 17:10 |
Groups of 10 or more paying visitors get lower rates: KRW 1,600 for adults and KRW 600 for youths and children at Cheonjiyeon and Jeongbang, and KRW 2,050 and KRW 850 at Cheonjeyeon. Children up to age 6 and visitors aged 65 and over are free, and some other groups with proof as well. Bring proof of age. For most visitors with one day, Jeongbang and Cheonjeyeon fit the daylight hours, and Cheonjiyeon works well as an evening stop because it stays open until 22:00.
