Traveling over the sea on Seohaerang between Jeongok Port and Jebu Island

The Meaning of ‘Seohaerang,’ Connecting Jeongok Port and Jebudo

Seohaerang Jebudo Marine Cable Car is a marine cable car connecting Jeongok Port and Jebudo. According to the official explanation, ‘Seohaerang’ takes its name from ‘rang (浪),’ meaning the waves of the sea around Jeongok Port and Jebudo.

The facility is operated by Jebudo Marine Cable Car Co., Ltd., whose representative is Baekhyun Lee. Therefore, you can plan your visit in either of two ways: approach the Jeongok Port boarding station by car or arrive at the Jebudo boarding station and explore the island.

How to Travel from Suwon Station via Bus 1004 and H50

Travelers visiting Korea for the first time can use Suwon Station as their starting point. From Suwon Station on Subway Line 1 or the Suin–Bundang Line, take the Bus 1004 express-seat bus toward Jebudo, then transfer to the H50 village bus at the Jebudo entrance, as stated in the official directions.

Bus 1004 runs every 15–20 minutes, and the H50 village bus runs every 15 minutes. H50 stops at the Jebudo Fire Station and Public Health Center stops. The first Bus 1004 service departing from Geumjeong Station is at 05:45, while the first service departing from the Jebudo entrance is at 04:30. Travel by public transportation from Sadang Station in Seoul is stated to take 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

• Jebudo entrance → Transfer to H50 village bus
• H50 alighting point: Jebudo Fire Station and Public Health Center

Steep Jeongok Station and Gently Sloped Jebudo Station

Your choice of station directly affects ease of access. Jeongok Station is on a steep uphill road and may be inconvenient for people with disabilities or limited mobility. Jebudo Station is on gentler terrain, so the official information recommends it for these visitors.

The underground parking lot at Jebudo Station is connected to the boarding area and is free to use. In contrast, the number of parking spaces and parking fees at Jeongok Station have not been separately confirmed in the official information, so drivers should consider parking at Jebudo Station first.

The accessibility information also specifies restrictions on strollers and wheelchair boarding in crystal cabins. The cable car operates normally in rainy weather, but cancellation and refunds are possible if operation becomes impossible due to strong winds, lightning, heavy rain, or heavy snow.

How to Walk the 0.972 km Jebudo Coastal Trail

After arriving at Jebudo with a round-trip ticket, you can continue by exploring the 0.972 km Jebudo Coastal Trail. The official information says that walking the trail takes about one hour and introduces it as a route where visitors can observe various geological formations along the Jebidori Tail Trail.

Along the trail, you can see Maebawi Rock, made up of several sea stacks, or pillars formed by coastal erosion. The exact travel time for the cable car round trip itself has not been confirmed on the official page, so first-time visitors should allow ample time, including possible cable car waiting time and one hour for the trail.

Reviews from 2025 describe using the cable car round trip together with nearby sightseeing as a day-trip course. On weekends and public holidays, boarding may be delayed by queues, and the Seohaerang shuttle bus gives priority consideration to people with disabilities, older adults, and pregnant women.

On-Site Rules for Pets, Food, and Lost Tickets

Food and beverages may not be brought into the cable car. Pets, including dogs, are generally not permitted, with service dogs for people with disabilities as the only exception. Planning to bring snacks or drinks into the cabin to eat above the sea is therefore not suitable.

Lost tickets cannot be reissued, and cancellation due to a lost ticket is also impossible. Since same-day purchases are available only at the on-site ticket counter, travelers arriving just before closing should pay particular attention to the last boarding times of 18:30 on weekdays and 19:30 on weekends and public holidays.

The official information does not confirm whether filming inside the cable car is prohibited, whether payment is cash-only, or whether English information or an audio guide is available. Foreign travelers who require this information can contact customer service at 1833-4997.
