Jeju
Explore the serene natural beauty of
South Korea's largest Island on a 7D/6 trip.
Point of Interests
Day 1: Seoul → Jeju
Take a short domestic flight from Seoul to Jeju. This island is famous for its dramatic natural landscapes, including volcanic cones, waterfalls, pristine coastlines, and unique cultural attractions. It feels very different to the mainland and is one of Korea’s most popular nature destinations.
Day 2 & 3: Jeju
The recommended hotels are within walking distance of Jungmun Saekdal Beach, a popular resort beach on Jeju’s south coast. Framed by volcanic cliffs and clear waters, it’s especially vibrant in summer, with supervised swimming and water sports like surfing and jet skiing. Guests can also enjoy seaside walks, sunset views, and nearby attractions such as Yeomiji Botanical Garden, Teddy Bear Museum, and cafés.
Day 4: Jeju
Dolphin Watching
Start your day with a dolphin-watching cruise from Gimnyeong Harbor. Jeju’s waters are home to playful dolphins.
Sangumburi Crater
Expansive volcanic crater features a circular walking path with 360° panoramic views of lush vegetation and farmland below. The gentle, family‐friendly trail makes it ideal for a short nature walk and photos. From Sangumburi Crater, you can often see Hallasan, South Korea’s highest mountain, on a clear day.
Jeju Tangerine Farm
Jeju is famous for its tangerines, often called “Jeju gamgyul”. While Jeju’s peak tangerine harvest is in winter, some farms use greenhouse cultivation to offer fruit and light picking experiences in summer. This is a fun stop where kids (and adults) can see how tangerines grow and, if available, pick or taste fresh fruit. Some farms also have small cafés or snack areas for a refreshing break.
Note: The most convenient way to discover Jeju is by self-driving. A combination of taxis and buses is doable, although it will take some time.
Day 5: Jeju
Haenyeo and Seongsan Ilchulbong Sunrise Peak
Here, you can watch the haenyeo, or female divers, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Some, aged in their 80s, dive up to 10 meters underwater to gather shellfish for a living without the use of oxygen masks. Then, visit Seongsan Ilchulbong, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Sunrise Peak,” formed by volcanic eruptions over 5,000 years ago.
Seopjikoji
After Seongsan, head to Seopjikoji, a scenic coastal area known for its wide grassy fields, cliffs, and roaming Jeju horses. Walk along the paths, enjoy ocean views, lighthouses, and wildflowers. Jeju horses are a native breed, known for their small size and gentle temperament, historically used for farming.
Jeju Glass House
Explore creative glass artworks, sculptures, and exhibitions. Visitors can see works by leading Art Nouveau artists from the Nancy region of France , including Émile Gallé, the Dom brothers, Eugène Michel, and René Lalique. The site also often includes hands-on workshops where kids can try making simple glass art.
Day 6: Jeju
Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road
Begin the day with a drive along Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road, one of Jeju’s most scenic seaside routes. This coastal road is lined with giant wind turbines, lava rock shorelines, and expansive ocean views, making it ideal for relaxed driving and photo stops. The windmills represent Jeju’s commitment to renewable energy, as the island aims to become carbon- neutral.
Osulloc Tea Museum
Next, visit the Osulloc Tea Museum, surrounded by beautiful green tea fields. Inside, you’ll learn about Korea’s tea history and culture, while outside you can stroll among neatly planted tea bushes. Green tea cultivation in Jeju dates back centuries, and the island’s volcanic soil and misty climate are ideal for tea farming. Must-try: Green tea ice cream, lattes, and desserts!
Seogwipo Jeongbang Waterfall
End your Jeju journey at Jeongbang Waterfall, one of the only waterfalls in Asia that flows directly into the sea. A short path and stairs lead you down to the viewing area, where you can feel the cool mist and hear the powerful water cascade. The waterfall has long been featured in Korean literature and folklore as a symbol of nature’s strength and harmony.
Jeju Black Pork (Black Pig)
Jeju is famous for its Black Pig, a local pork breed known for its tender texture, rich flavor, and juicy marbling. Raised on the island for generations, Jeju black pork is considered a premium specialty and is commonly enjoyed as Korean BBQ, grilled over charcoal and eaten with fresh vegetables and local dipping sauces.
Day 7: Jeju → Busan
Take taxi to the airport. Catch a short domestic flight from Jeju to Busan.
