4-Day Jeju Itinerary Under S$500 — Road Trip Adventure Around South Korea’s Island Paradise

What’s a road trip without some horses, submarines, and jaw-dropping sunrise hikes? This Jeju itinerary covers the island’s best.

Ah, South Korea: Undeniably many Singaporeans’ favourite holiday destination — and for damn good reason! There’re limitless Korean BBQ and kimchi to devour, K-pop and dramas to invest your soul in, and mountains of cheap cosmetics to shop for. Just these are enough to make anyone fly to Seoul or Busan .

Most travellers make a beeline for the cities. However, South Korea’s breathtaking islands shouldn’t be overlooked! Besides the dreamy Nami Island , we also recommend heading to the country’s biggest: Jeju Island .

Just an hour’s flight from Seoul or Busan, the volcanic island is filled with many wonderful beaches to relax at, challenging mountains to climb, and fun attractions to visit. With so many things to do, it’s little wonder why Jeju is a perfect spot for anyone who wants a relaxing weekend getaway. It’s also little wonder why Jeju is South Korea’s honeymoon island — well, unofficial. But who’s keeping tabs? 😛

Before you dive right in, you should know that Jeju Island is twice the size of Singapore. The easiest way to get around is to rent a car, but we’ve included some alternatives below if you don’t want to get behind the wheel.

Jeju Itinerary Road Trip Route

Our Jeju itinerary mainly explores Jeju city, as well as the Eastern and Southern parts of the island. Highlights include hiking Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak at sunrise, going on an underwater submarine adventure, and exploring Jeju’s natural wonders. It’s rather busy, but better an action-packed road trip than a boring one!

Day 1: Jeju City — Eastern Jeju 

Indulge at the famous black pork (heuk-dwaeji 흑돼지) street.

You may have had KBBQ, but have you had KBBQ with Jeju’s black pork? At the Black Pork Street , rows of restaurants serve the delectable delicacy. Cooked over charcoal, the fine black pork is grilled with garlic to tender perfection. To eat, just wrap the meat in a perilla leaf with kimchi and beansprouts, then shovel it all in your mouth!

If you’ve still got stomach space at the end of the meal, order some rice to mix with the leftover veggies and meat on the grill. Now, you have your very own bokkeumbap ( kimchi fried rice).

Cost: ₩24,000/pax (~S$28.10) Opening hours: Varies; most restaurants open from 11AM – 12AM Address: Gwandeong-ro 15(sibo)-gil,  Jeju -si,  Jeju -do

Cross the Yongyeon Suspension Bridge (용연계곡)

Located near the airport, the Yongyeon Suspension Bridge is a very scenic area. On one side, there’s a picturesque gorge with lush greenery and deep blue waters. On the other, you get clear views of the ocean and planes landing in the distance. The bridge lights up at night, so you’d still get excellent scenery at any time of the day.

Address: 2581-4, Yongdam 1-dong, Jeju-si, Jeju Tel: 728-2755 Parking: Paid parking lot nearby for ₩2,000 (~S$2.30)

*Photo Pro-tip: Walk up the short hill by the side of the entrance to get wider photos of the suspension bridge.

Explore Manjanggul Cave (만장굴)

Massive enough to fit entire streetlamps inside, the Manjanggul Cave is one of the largest lava tubes in the world. Within the cave, you’ll come across well-preserved lava formations like stalactites, flowlines, and benches. There’s also the world’s largest lava column, standing at 7.6m.

As the cave is wet and has uneven surfaces, it’s advisable to wear a jacket and proper footwear.

Entrance Fee: ₩4,000 (~S$4.70) Opening Hours: 9AM – 6PM (last entry at 5:10PM), closed on first Wednesday of the month Tel: 783-4818 Parking: Free on premises

Dine on Succulent Abalone at Myeongjin Jeonbok (명진전복)

Popular with locals and foreigners alike, Myeongjin Jeonbok Abalone Restaurant sells fresh, highly sought-after abalone. There’re only four items on their menu: Abalone porridge, abalone sizzling stone rice, grilled and sliced raw abalones. TL;DR: They’re all good .

Although the porridge was the apparent “must-try”, we preferred the charred flavours of the fragrant abalone stone rice. Served in a large pot, it’s big enough to share. The meal also comes with an appetising fried mackerel, completely free of charge!

Cost: ₩12,000 – ₩30,000 (~S$14 – ~S$35.10) Opening Hours: 9:30AM – 9:30PM, closed on Tuesdays Tel: 782-9944 Parking: Free on premises

Accommodation: Klook — we stayed in a hotel near Seongsan Ilchulbong for ~S$53.30/night for a standard twin room. The best part? It’s a walking distance to Sunrise Peak!

Day 2: Eastern Jeju — Southern Jeju (Seogwipo) 

Climb up seongsan ilchulbong (성산일출봉).

Seongsan Ilchulbong is an enormous tuff cone crater that doubles as a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Jeju’s most well-known attractions.

It’s also called “sunrise peak”, and sees dozens of early-morning hikers racing up a stairway to catch daybreak. This Jeju itinerary joins in on the action and was rewarded with a magnificent view of the sunrise. So magnificent that (no kidding) people started clapping when the sun rose. Yay, sun!

Photo credit: Thisiskoreatours.com

No worries if you’re not an early riser. At other times of the day, you can still head up the peak to enjoy a spectacular vantage view. Catch the Jeju haenyeo (women divers) perform at 1:30PM and 3:30PM at the bottom of the crater. These tough, elderly ladies will free-dive for fresh shellfish in blistering cold waters — pretty sick considering they’re old enough to be your grandma!

Entrance Fee: ₩5,000 (~S$2.30) Trail Closing Times: Every first Monday of the month Tel: 783-0959 Parking: Free on premises

Savour Fresh Seafood at the Baekgi Haenyeo House (백기해녀의 집)

Besides watching the haenyeo dive for shellfish, why not taste the fruits (or seafood) of their labour too? Like the ama of Japan, the Baekgi Haenyeo House is a haenyeo hut-cum-eatery that dishes out seafood harvested and cooked by the female divers.

We ordered the chopped noodles with sea urchin (₩10,000, ~S$11.70) and sea urchin seaweed soup (₩12,000, ~S$14). Served piping hot, we liked how springy the handmade noodles were. The generous amount of sea urchins in the light broth was also delicious and nourishing.

Unfortunately, the divers knew limited English so we couldn’t ask them about their diving stories. However, it’s something you can do if you’re travelling with a translator or someone who’s proficient in Korean. It’ll make the authentic dining experience more fascinating.

Cost: ₩10,000 – ₩40,000 (~S$11.70 – ~S$46.60) Opening Hours: 8AM – 6PM Tel: 782-0673 Parking: Free on premises

Roam around Aqua Planet Jeju (한화아쿠아플라넷 제주)

Otterly adorable!

There’s a whimsical beauty about aquariums that can make anyone go “ oooh ” or “ aaahhh “. Aqua Planet Jeju is no different. The sizeable aquarium is home to a variety of animals like otters, rays, seals, walruses, bottlenose dolphins, and sharks.

Aqua Planet also has numerous programmes throughout the day. A drawback is that they’re only in Korean, but are still interesting to watch. We highly recommend catching the haenyeo diving demonstration at the main tank. Before your very eyes, two women dive deep to 8m to harvest shellfish — all while holding their breaths for a minute!

Cost: From ~S$29 Opening Hours: 10AM – 6PM (last entry at 5PM) Tel: 780-0900 Parking: Free on premises

Ride like the Wind at Jeju Seri World

Photo credit: Klook

After an hour’s drive towards the South of Jeju, take a break to experience actual horsepower instead! At Jeju Seri World, you get to ride adorably furry horses through the lush landscape of the place.

While you’re on the horse, be sure to look out for the Seogwipo World Cup Stadium which served as one of the playing venues for the 2002 World Cup . There’s a lot of bouncing involved, so hang on tight!

Jeju Seri World is also home to a cart riding experience that allows you to drive down a thrilling race track — perfect for adrenaline junkies. You can also make your way through the scenic camellia and cedar trees of the maze park while you’re there!

Cost: ~S$6.60 (Short Course Horse Riding), ~S$13.40 (Cart Riding Experience) , ~S$4.40 (Maze Park Experience) Opening Hours: 9AM – 7PM Tel: +82 64-739-8254

Accommodation: Klook — we stayed in a hotel in Seogwipo for ~S$60.77/night for a deluxe double room.

Day 3: Southern Jeju 

Feast on local korean eats.

What’s a Jeju itinerary without some good grub? In Seogwipo, you can get an extensive variety of local foods at the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market (서귀포 매일올레시장). These include snacks like spicy tteokbokki (rice cakes) and cheesy squid pancakes. For more lavish meals, head to the restaurants on Arang Joeul Food Street .

Warning: Korean food is much spicier in Korea!

We had our Korean chicken cravings satisfied at Don Chicken (돈치킨). The eatery serves absurdly juicy grilled chicken, instead of typical fried ones. We also ate at Yongwoo-dong (용우동), a simple diner that serves comforting Korean dishes under ₩10,000 (~S$11.70).

Go on an Underwater Submarine Adventure

Like on land, did you know the ocean undergoes changing seasons as well? On a Seogwipo Submarine Adventure , you’ll learn intriguing facts about underwater life in a commercial submarine. The Seogwipo submarine will also dive to depths of up to 40–45m. There, you get to view colourful fishes, soft corals, and even an old shipwreck up-close.

Cost: ₩65,000 ( ~S$78 ) Tour Timings: Every 40 minutes from 10AM – 3:20PM Tel: 732-6060 Parking: ₩1,000 per adult (aged 25 and above)

Visit Jeju’s Natural Wonders

Jeju Island holds many natural gems ranging from waterfalls to rock formations. Our Jeju itinerary mainly explores the ones within Seogwipo city, which are close by each other.

One of the most popular icons is Jeongbang Falls (정방폭포). The 23m waterfall is the only one that falls directly into the ocean and is a pretty place to take photos. Nearby, there’s also a makeshift tent where you can purchase fresh shellfish harvested and prepared by the haenyeo . Entry to the waterfall costs ₩2,000 (~S$2.30).

Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (천지연폭포) is easily one of the most beautiful places on Jeju Island. The falls are surrounded by a well-kept park, perfect for a leisurely stroll even at night. Entry to the waterfall similarly costs ₩2,000 (~S$2.30).

Oedolgae Rock (외돌개) is another famous attraction. Legend has it that the solitary rock came to be after a grandmother waited a long time for her husband to return from fishing, that she turned into rock. Besides viewing the rock, you can also wander around the forested area and catch the sunset. Parking costs ₩2,000 (~S$2.30).

Day 4: Southern Jeju — Jeju City

Marvel at jusangjeollidae cliffs.

A geologic wonder, the Jusangjeollidae Cliffs (주상절리대) were born from molten lava cooling down to form intricate hexagonal rock columns. One of Jeju’s national icons, the cliff face makes a great photo-taking stop.

Entrance Fee: ₩2,000 (~S$2.30) Opening Hours: 9AM – 6PM Tel: 738-1521 Parking: Paid parking for ₩1,000 – ₩3,000

*Pro-tip: To avoid the crowds on the viewing platform, follow the signs to the Promenade instead. The open-spaced park is far less busy and offers equally clear views of the cliffs.

Meet Fuzzy Friends at the Teddy Bear Museum (테디베어박물관)

For the young and young at heart, the Jeju Teddy Bear Museum displays a diverse collection of the beloved cuddly toy. From a towering 9m-tall teddy bear, to bear renditions of masterpieces like the Creation of Adam, the cutesy museum has plenty of things to see.

The museum also houses the world’s most expensive bear: A luxurious Louis Vuitton teddy bear (with matching luggage). In 2000, the bear fetched a mindblowing price of nearly €2 million in a charity auction. Beary luxurious indeed!

Entrance Fee: ₩10,000 ( ~S$12 ) Opening Hours: 9AM – 7PM (last entry at 6PM) Tel: 738-7600 Parking: Free on premises

Taste Tea and More at Osulloc Tea Museum (오설록 티하우스)

A popular tourist destination, the Osulloc Tea Museum is admittedly more of a tea house than a museum. There’s a small exhibit describing the history of Jeju’s tea plantations, but the main highlight is the cafe that sells desserts and a wide selection of green tea and special blends.

We ordered a set consisting of Green Tea O Fredo, a slice of Green Tea Swiss Roll Cake and Green Tea Ice Cream (₩17,300, ~S$20.15). Though pricey, we liked how the desserts had a rich green tea flavour, and were not too bitter or overbearingly sweet.

Before the food coma sets in, head outside to wander around the surrounding green tea fields. Reminiscent of Cameron Highlands , the fields are a lovely place to chill out, breathe in the crisp cool air, and snap loads of photos.

Entrance Fee: Free Opening Hours: 9AM – 6PM Tel: 794-5312 Parking: Free on premises

Be Amazed by the Floral Paradise at Camellia Hill

Photo credit: @camelliahilljeju via Instagram

Just a 15 min drive away from the museum lies Camellia Hill , the biggest Camellia arboretum in East Asia. Located in Sanchang Village, the 20-hectare park is a floral oasis and is home to 6,000 camellia trees and over 500 different types of flowers and plants.

Once you’ve snapped those insta-worthy pics with the epic floral backdrop, you can also check out the gallery exhibiting camellia-themed crafts.

Entrance Fee: ~S$5.65 Opening Hours: 8:30AM – 6PM Tel: +82 64-792-0088 Address: 166 Byeongang-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea

If You Have More Days

Hike mt halla (한라산).

Standing at an impressive 1,950m, Mt Halla is South Korea’s largest mountain. It’s an immensely beautiful place that deserves to be on every Jeju itinerary if you have more time. There’re several trails around the mountain, but only two lead to the summit. If you plan on ascending, start early as there’s a cut-off time to ensure hikers have enough daylight to trek down.

For shorter walks, we recommend the Yeongsil Trail which is the best for viewing autumn foliage. The Eoseungsaengak Trail also has a high pay-off. After a 30-minute hike up, you get panoramic views of Mt Halla and its surrounding peaks.

Explore Jeju City

Jeju city itself has loads to keep you entertained! Besides driving, one of the more convenient ways to get around is the Jeju City Bus . The hop-on-hop-off bus tours the city in a scenic two-hour drive, stopping at attractions like Dongmun Traditional Market (동문재래시장) and Sanjideungdae Lighthouse (산지등대). We recommend getting the one-day pass (₩12,000) to maximise your journey.

Be warned: It can get super chilly at the top, especially in autumn and winter, so bundle up to stay warm!

Visit Jeju’s Unique Museums 

Photo credit: Digitiser2000.com

Jeju Island is as peculiar as it is beautiful, and this manifests in quirky museums scattered around the island. The most sexciting one is Jeju Loveland (제주러브랜드), a NSFW museum dedicated to sensuality and eroticism. Age isn’t just a number, though — you need to be aged 20 and above to enter.

Not all museums in Jeju are this embarrassing, fortunately. The more family-friendly ones include Hello Kitty Island (헬로키티아일랜드) and the World Automobile Museum (세계자동차제주박물관). There’s also a Glass Castle (제주 유리의성) where you can run through an all-glass labyrinth. Just be careful not to break anything.

Shop around Jeju’s Five-Day Market (제주시민속오일장)

2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27 — if you happen to be in Jeju during these dates, add the Jeju Five-Day Market to your Jeju itinerary! It’s one of the oldest traditional markets in South Korea, selling a wide array of fresh produce, clothing, and street food.

Other regions in Jeju Island also have their own five-day traditional markets. Check the list of dates and locations here .

Bum around Jeju’s Beaches

Woljeongri Beach. Photo credit: Visitjeju.net

As a volcanic island, you can expect Jeju’s beaches to be some of the very best! Located at all corners of the island, they’re perfect for watersports, picnics, or some good ol’ chilling out. The most notable ones include Woljeongri Beach (월정리 해수욕장), Hyeopjae Beach (협재해수욕장), and Yongmeori Beach (용머리해안).

Getting around Jeju Island

Car Rental: We rented ours from Klook . A standard sedan car costs ~S$198 for four days but when you share it with three other friends, it comes down to only ~S$49.50/pax! Driving tips in Jeju below !

For non-drivers

(1) Jeju Island day tours: If you only have a short amount of time, hopping on a Jeju Island UNESCO Day Tour is a great way to cover some of Jeju’s best attractions.

Selecting the Jeju East Route Day Tour (Tue, Thu, Sat) will lead you to Jeju’s natural wonders like Manjanggul Cave and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. You also get to explore Woljengri Beach, one of Jeju’s most stunning beaches with its emerald waters and relaxing atmosphere.

The South Route Day Tour (Mon, Wed, Fri) provides a delightful mix of Jeju’s nature and cultural side. Participants can explore the famous Yakcheonsa Temple, marvel at the interesting Jusangjeolli Cliffs, and even hike the Eoseungsaengak Trail at Mt Halla!

(2) Private car charter: Hiring a Jeju private car charter is ideal for those who don’t like to be bogged down by the strict schedule that comes with day tours. You can also enjoy greater freedom and flexibility in your itinerary. The car charter can be booked for a total duration of 8 hours, between 8AM and 10PM — enough to visit four or five attractions.

(3) Jeju City Bus: To explore Jeju, the Jeju City Bus provides a hassle-free way of sightseeing. A one-day pass allows you to hop-on-hop-off whenever and wherever you like. It’s a pretty efficient way of touring the city — you just need to plan which attractions you’d like to see!

(4) Public transport: Jeju has an islandwide public bus service . These include intercity buses, airport shuttles, and tourist shuttle buses. A one-way fare typically costs ₩1,200. While cheap, the downsides are that the journeys and intervals are long.

Alternatively, you can hire a taxi to reach your destination faster. The basic fare starts from ₩2,200 – ₩3,800 (~S$2.60 – ~S$4.50).

4G SIM Card: Whether you’re a driver or not, it’s important to stay connected with trustable connection. We ordered this SIM card at ~S$24.90, and it was delivered to our office in Singapore before we left for South Korea. The card comes with 5GB of data (for 20 days), and provided good coverage throughout our road trip.

Activities in Jeju Island

We booked our activities via Klook and got to enjoy savings as compared to purchasing on the spot. Booking with Klook was also a smooth, fuss-free process without any language barriers. This minimised any chances of miscommunication with the vendors, so we could fully enjoy ourselves on our island adventure!

To help ease your Jeju itinerary planning, here’s a summary of what we booked:

– 4G SIM Card (SG Delivery) for South Korea (~S$26.50) – Jeju Seri World: Short Course Horse Riding (~S$6.60), Cart Riding Experience (~S$13.40), Mazepark Experience (~S$4.40) – Aqua Planet Jeju Admission Ticket (~S$29) – Camellia Hill Entrance Ticket (~S$5.65)

Jeju combines the best of South Korea’s goodies (e.g. KBBQ, shopping) with the amazing experiences you’d get from an island vacation. 👙🌴 Whether you’re driving or not, Jeju will definitely spoil you with its incredible nature spots and ultra-relaxed vibes. So what are you waiting for? Grab this Jeju itinerary and go!

Driving Tips 

0) Avoid driving with a finger injury.

1) Get an International Driving Permit. You’ll need to provide this document and your passport for verification when collecting your rental car.

2) Read up on traffic rules. Koreans drive on the right, which means you can turn right even on a red light. Do keep a lookout for pedestrians if you’re doing so. Speed cameras are also all over Jeju, so lay off the accelerator pedal.

3) Take extra care when driving at night. There’re no streetlights along the way. Additionally, the warm and humid environment of Jeju may produce heavy fog at night.

4) Prepare the telephone numbers of your destinations.  Enter them into the car’s GPS for quick and easy navigation. Use this website to find telephone numbers of places not listed in this itinerary.

5) Download navigation apps like Kakao or Naver Maps. Google Maps doesn’t work in South Korea — the most it does is only for public transportation. We used Naver Maps to plan our itinerary and search for amenities like petrol stations. Alternatively, you can also use Kakao Maps .

Hi Travel Intern,

Need some help to the following.

Qcode. I’ve came across, some websites, a number of people have issue filling up address or phone number. Do you guys encounter any problem registering? Let’s say, if we can’t register before our flight. What should we need to do?

Naver Map. Is it necessary to sign up? If so, can we use our own HP no. to register? Is Naver Map an English speaking GPS? We’ve to key in destination’s phone number. If no phone number available, can we just key in address in English? If missing a turn or whatever. Will Naver Map, reroute like Google map?

Kakao T. Is it necessary to sign up? Or we can just flag a taxi anywhere?

Self-drive. I drive alot here. Any advice for first timer on left hand drive? I’m abit confused on their traffic light system though. Especially the Left turn Sign at the traffic light. The green arrow, and without green arrow, whether when can we actually make a left turn. Did I confused you? Hahaha… Where I can learn more about that “highway code”?

Thank you for your kind attention.

Regards Lav

Best Regards Lav

1. Qcode — We didn’t do this as we travelled on VTL. You can register with the hotel address and number.

2. Naver Map works well if you’re walking or taking public transport. If you’re self-driving, it works only for Samsung phones. We tried registering on iPhone but had difficulty. You may also need a local number to do so. Do look for the Korean address of the places as the map system don’t recognise all English addresses. We can’t remember about rerouting, do share if you’ve figured this out in Korea!

3. Kakao — We never tried as it seemingly needed a local number to register. Yup, cabs are easy to flag, or ask a local to help you book.

4. Self-drive — We were confused too at the start but mostly just followed what the locals do. A safe tip is to google what the traffic rules in Korea are!

Hi Edelyn, Thanks for your reply.

Hi Edelyn, It’s me again. Would like to check with you, how is the parking like or rather how should I pay for the parking lot in Jeju. For example, the road side parking, and those parking with barrier gate system.

Thank you Lav

Hi Lav! The team didn’t really have a problem parking in Jeju as most of the places were tourist attractions with free parking. For those with barrier gate systems, you can just use a credit card to pay when you exit. For roadside parking, it should be fine to park as long as there aren’t any obvious parking signs, lol. What the team did when they weren’t sure was to ask the locals staying in the area/from cafes or shops, if they could park at the area 🙂 Hope this helps! 🙂 Edelyn

Hi Edelyn Thanks for the prompt reply.

Cheers! Lav

Things to Do in Jeju, South Korea: 4-Day Road Trip Itinerary

Gushing waterfalls, magical lava caves, beautiful beaches numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a Natural World Wonder.

The nature of Jeju island is simply stunning. And it can all be attributed to volcanic eruptions too as that’s how this island was formed in the first place! Pretty cool, huh?

Now, this island is teeming with natural attractions, and in my opinion, the best way to see the things to do in Jeju, is to road trip it! The island is pretty small and can be done in a matter of a few days without skipping any of the cool stuff.

Grab your vehicle and make your way around these spots on an epic Jeju Island road trip!

Not just any cave! This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being one of the most spectacular lava tubes in the world.

The “lava shelves” and odd structures created by lava ages ago make for an interesting visit.

There are educational plaques as you walk through the dim cavern and at the end is the world’s largest lava column.

The cave is illuminated by colorful lights and has a path to easily walk down, but it’s quite craggy, so be careful not to stub a toe!

• 2000 won entrance fee

Be a kid again, I know I wanted to! I’ve always wanted to do one of those mazes walk things! When I found out there was one directly next to the lava tubes, I decided this was my chance.

Surrounded by two-year-olds, Garrett and I were the oldest childless adults there. With no cares in the world, we ran around trying to find our way out of the maze. It was quite entertaining!

• 2500 entrance fee

WOMEN POWER! These ladies are true badasses.

The tradition still lives on as women dive to the depths, without oxygen tanks, to make a catch. They mostly catch shellfish and abalone.

The women all vary in age, some reaching 80 years old! This is how they support their families and make their money. You can see them at a few different location around the island, but the most popular is around Seongsan.

Accommodation on Jeju Island:

There was no English name for this one. It’s right across from “Papaya Burger” and a few buildings down from Sunflower Guesthouse. Yeah… Good luck. 🙂

Literally, a peak where the sun rises. But not just any peak, this one happens to be a Natural World Wonder!

The hike up is pretty easy only taking about 20 minutes to reach the top platform. However, we found the sunrise to actually be better from afar. The top offers a look into the crater but it’s nothing too remarkable.

The side views are better as shown in my pictures.

For an even more spectacular sunrise, I would say go back even further so the sunrise is actually peeking out from the peak! That’s’ what I would do if I ever went again. Obviously, this is on the top of things to do in Jeju, so hopefully this tip helps!

Take some time to enjoy the scenery around  Seongsan as we did and we were rewarded with schools of dolphin in the distance!

We got there before sunrise and nobody was at the gate taking payment, however, this UNESCO Site  usually costs 2000 WON.

Best waterfall on the island, that I saw at least! Legends say that there a holy dragon that lives underneath!

Another beautiful waterfall with legends of seven nymphs that bathe in its waters.

You’ll walk over the seven nymphs bridge to reach the falls. There is a pool in the back and the first and second tiers that are the nicest. There isn’t a great vantage point for the third falls so I’d skip it especially if you’re low on time.

Minjoonggak guesthouse in Seigwepo. Nice sized room, nothing special, just what you need. The cheapest room we stayed at on the island!

Pretty sweet looking in pictures, a little underwhelming once you get here. There’s literally one small boardwalk to walk on to see them and that’s it. It’s a 5 minute stop over if a stop over at all…

Get a mini workout and hike up this mountain. There’s a temple on top and some pretty sweet views.

• 1000 won for parking

Another mountain nearby with some more views!

This beach is pretty unreal! We got here just in time for sunset. Time it well so you can do the same.

The black rocks peeking out of the crystal-clear cerulean waters were spectacular.

That and the sunset was shooting out crazy hues of purple, pink and blue… We couldn’t stop taking photos. Out of all the things to do in Jeju, this is perhaps my favorite! I love me a good beach.

We got up the next morning and spent some time on the beach again. It’s truly beautiful! The only downside of it was it was winter and we couldn’t take a dip. I was dying to!

La Paloma Pension – I could have lived here! It’s a really nice studio apartment just a few minutes away from the beach and the town.

After enjoying Hyeopjae again (SO PRETTY!) we didn’t have as an eventful day!

Perhaps during summer you’d spend more time at the beaches, but being winter… Yeah, it was freezing. If you were going to skip a day or maybe you only have three days… This is the day to skip.

If weather and time permits, I’d recommend hiking Mount Hallasan today!

We were so keen to do so, however, the weather wasn’t on our side and we were lacking the proper gear. You need real hiking shoes (we didn’t have any) and crampons which they have there for purchase (if you’re going in winter that is, we went in February and would have needed them if we went).

Hallasan looks EPIC and I was dying to go, but after research and speaking to locals, we just simply weren’t prepared.

Summer would be better or if you’re going in winter, make sure to bring the proper gear.

Decent looking beach with weird bathhouse area on the shore. It was really gross and dirty, maybe they clean it up for summer use? Either way, if you want to beach bum, this seems like a decent choice, but not better than Hyeopjae.

SKIP. Not a nice beach at all.

Need to kill some time? Only have time to enjoy Jeju city? This is a cool getaway just outside the city.

Get a mini workout in too. It’s a hill with views of the port, the ocean, the city, Mount Hallasan (if it’s not foggy) and the airport! I actually really enjoyed our walk around here.

A sex park full of statues in provocative positions, showing all the bits, and museums and gifts shops all related to sex. Interesting, weird, and a cool way to kill some time… I guess.

• Jeju Land Horseback Riding

We rented through Sixt as they had one of the only websites in English and offered a decent deal.

There were no issues when returning the car, but make sure to have an international driving permit! If you’re from the USA, it’s super easy to get. Just go to AAA and pay $20 for one.

Like ANY other rental you get, always ALWAYS take pictures and video of the vehicle before driving away. You never know what damage they will try to pawn off on you. We had no issues with this one but had a video just in case we did encounter it.

• 4 day rental total: 54,000 won
• Total spent on gas: 35,000 won (We only used 3/4 a tank for the whole trip!)

That’s less than $80 USD total for a four-day rental and gas! So worth and much cheaper. This is THE BEST way to see all the things to do in Jeju!

We’ve had luck getting good prices on rentals here .

Driving in Jeju was pretty easy! Especially if you’re from the US or another country who drives on the right-hand side. Everything is pretty clearly marked and signed in English.

Make sure to download the app maps.me.

For some reason, Google maps doesn’t work properly in Korea! It only provides bus routes, not driving. It’s quite weird, but yeah, maps.me will solve that problem plus you can use it without the internet.

Tips for Saving Money on Jeju Island

Eeeekk. Jeju Island was a bit more expensive than we had anticipated. This is what we did to save some money.

We ate out once and no more than twice per day. Usually, our breakfast was bought at a 711! They have hard boiled eggs and a pastry or perhaps some fruit there.

We bought that stuff for our breakfasts so we could save some money, have a semi-western breakfast (I don’t like rice in the mornings!), and so we could save time and hit the road rather than walk around trying to find a breakfast joint.

If we were being extra poor, our dinner would just be a bowl of ramen from the convenience stores.

Some places we found ramen to sell for something like 7,000 while one from the store was only 800 won. Of course, it’s not fresh, but at the same time, 7000 for a whatever bowl of soup wasn’t really something I fancied every night.

There’s hardly anything for vegetarians in South Korea as well, so I found it hard to spend money in restaurants when all I could have was a noodle soup.

There’s only so much noodle soup I care to eat and they often only had a few slivers of vegetables, so why spend the money on it?

We didn’t book accommodation ahead of time!

• We were road tripping and weren’t 100% sure where we would end up for the night and didn’t want to tie ourselves down to a spot.
• We arrived at each place in the evening hours and figured we could probably get a better price because it would be rare for anyone else to really walk in wanting a room. We were right. They were more willing to negotiate prices since we were walk-ins. TIP: Check their prices on Agoda first for a price base and to see if they even have availability, then walk in and ask.

Random Observations I Noticed Traveling Around Jeju Island and South Korea

(Keeping in mind I only stayed around Seoul and Jeju, these are just some random observations!)

• Toiletries are available even in the cheapest of hotels. I’m taking full bottle shampoos, conditioners, body wash, and toothpaste! I haven’t seen this before. Pretty sweet! Most also have hairdryers, fridges, and more, which in my experience, are usually something extra and not provided at the budget places.
• English isn’t easy, especially on Jeju. Most don’t speak it. If you’re going to have any luck, speak to a younger person as most older generations never learned it. Download Google Translate – it’s life-saving.
• Tiny towels. Why? lol. Why are most of the towels, shower towels at that, so tiny?
• Internet passwords are almost nonexistent in the hotels I was at. I couldn’t decide if this was convenient or concerning…

I thought it was nice. Nothing less, nothing more.

The natural beauty is really something else, but the vibe felt a bit “plastic” to me. Everything is very built up and very made for tourism. To the point where there’s no “flavor.”

There’s nothing mysterious, there’s nothing too adventurous, everything is almost too easy. Maybe I’m crazy for saying this? But yeah, I was kind of a bit disappointed by the lack of… adventure? Discovery?

The island is almost too easy and ready for tourists that it feels like it’s a machine just churning out mini batches of tourists.

I will also say that we went in low season.

HOWEVER, I was so surprised by the amount of tourist still out. Granted, we were literally the only *white* foreigners on the island. I kid you not, but there were still plenty of other tourists from neighboring countries and from other parts of South Korea.

So I can only image how packed and inundate the island gets during high season.

This is just ME and my opinion. Go see for yourself.

I’d never ever in a million year dissuade people from going anywhere, but yeah, this was my thought on Jeju, Again, it was NICE and we, of course, had a great time!

So that’s it for the main things to do in Jeju Island, especially for those who are wanting a road trip around Jeju.

We DEFINITELY made the right choice by renting a car. Not only was it cheaper to do so, it allowed us to have more freedom to roam the island and saved time as buses would have taken so much longer.

Well, like always, I booked with Skyscanner !  I always find my best and cheapest flight deals through them, plus their “everywhere” feature is just way too fun! Check out my  cheap flights with Skyscanner guide  to find out how I get my flights!

WARNING: Making itineraries with Skyscanner is totally addicting. I can’t be responsible for any spontaneous flight purchasing!

Sunrise Peak was easily the best place for me, felt good getting up that early and making the most of the day.

the car rental i used was redcap and they made me pay extra for insurance for a K5 car and even refused giving me a car with English GPS even though my airbnb host in Seoul specifically emailed them for it.Did i get conned on the insurance?

Just curious about the accommodations. Did you stay in multiple locations or you just stayed at 1 location while you were in Jeju?

Great blog btw 🙂

We stayed in four different spots as indicated in the post. You can also read this !

I’m going jeju this month and planning to drive tour the island. Your blog is a great help for my planning. Thanks !!

Awesome, Penny! Have fun!

We are planning to rent a car in seoul & drive all the way to Busan. Off coz in Jeju we also need to get a car for convenient road trip.

Any car rental recommendations? Thanks

As the blog mentioned, I used Sixt.

I was in South Korea in January and I wanted to go here but I didn’t have time!! I’ll definitely be back though – it’s so cheap and easy to get to there from here in Japan (like a $200 round trip 1 hour flight)! I didn’t realize there were so many waterfalls. It’s gorgeous. I really want to see the female divers in action. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries on them, and I want to see it with my own eyes before there aren’t any left.

Thanks, Rika! I hope you do get to visit. I can imagine you’re super interested in the women divers 🙂 They are amazing! It was so cold! I can’t believe they go diving in those waters. And then they sit there chopping up and making the seafood dishes later too. Whoa!

Jeju’s dramatic landscape reaches all the way to the rocky coastline, where heavenly beaches decorate the shoreline . Jeju’s iconic free-diving senior citizens, called haenyeo , plunder the island’s heavenly sea waters for fresh squid and abalone. Meanwhile, away from the coast, winding country lanes cut through endless fields of orange trees.

How to Get to Jeju Island

Many people visit Jeju either on a long weekend  from Seoul or from the city of Busan on the southern coast of South Korea.

Here’s how to get to Jeju Island from either Seoul or Busan.

How to Get to Jeju Island by Air

Jeju Island is a quick 1 hour 10 minute flight from Seoul, or a 50 minute flight from Busan.

→ You can find the best deals on flights to Jeju Island on Skyscanner here .

Be aware that all flights to Jeju Island from Seoul depart from the city’s smaller Gimpo airport , not from Incheon Airport.

If you’re flying into Seoul from overseas and then on to Jeju you’ll most likely need to transfer from Incheon to Gimpo airport.

A frequent train service connects the two airports and thankfully the transfer is pretty painless. The train journey between the two airports is around 45 minutes.

How to Get to Jeju Island by Ferry

A ferry also runs from Busan to Jeju Island, however there are only three services a week to and from the island and the journey takes twelve hours . 

 – More information on ferry services to Jeju Island from Busan can be found here .

Accommodation in Jeju Island

There is a wide variety of accommodation available in Jeju Island, from large seaside resorts and hotels to cosy B&Bs and hidden homestays.

There’s a greater selection in and around the large cities of Jeju and Seogwipo , but if you have access to transport there are a lot of great options dotted around the entire island, which is perfect if you prefer to be amongst Jeju’s orange groves or closer to the mountains.

Where to Stay in Jeju Island

If you need a few suggestions for somewhere to stay in Jeju, here are a few places that we recommend:

 •  Golden Park Hotel : If you’re looking to keep an eye on costs then the Golden Park Hotel is a very good affordable hotel. Located close to the centre of Jeju and convenient for the airport, this is the ideal place for the cost conscious traveller.

 •  Golden Bridge Hotel : The Golden Bridge Hotel is located in Seogwipo, the main city on the south coast of Jeju Island. Along with super-friendly staff, the hotel’s comfortable rooms come with great views of Seogwipo harbour

Top of the Range

 •  Grand Josun Jeju : If you’re looking to stay in Jeju in style there’s plenty of choice on the island. The Grand Josun Jeju is one of the most luxurious hotels on the island, with gorgeous rooms and a multitude of top-end facilities.

How to Get Around Jeju Island

By far the easiest and most convenient way to get around Jeju Island is by hiring a car .

You’ll be able to add a lot more to your Jeju Island itinerary if you have your own set of wheels.

Thankfully there are a number of hire car companies based in Jeju, especially near the airport and the port.

We use Discover Cars to find the best deals on hire cars for all of our road trips. Discover Cars compares the prices between all local car rental firms to offer you the best price on car hire.

The Best Things to Do in Jeju Island

From hiking mountain trails to finding the best seafood, here’s everything you need for the perfect Jeju itinerary.

Hike up (or Around) Mount Hallasan

Any Jeju itinerary is more than likely going to be centered around many of the island’s natural wonders. The domineering peak of Mount Hallasan , right in the centre of Jeju, is visible from most parts of the island (weather permitting), and the huge national park that surrounds it is a wonderful place to explore.

A trek to the summit of Mount Hallasan (and back) will take up the most of a day, with those reaching the top rewarded with a bird’s eye view of Baengnokdam Lake , the crater lake that sits in the middle of the mountain.

Hike the Trails at Hallasan National Park

The view on the ascent to Sunshine Peak, and one of Jeju’s many orange trees

Several shorter trails can be found amongst the enchanting forests of Hallasan National Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage site .  

Over 300 additional volcanic peaks surround Mount Hallasan, and there is much to explore for either the committed or the casual hiker. 

A shorter and easier alternative is a stroll through the gorgeous forest trails at Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest , found just off Jeju’s most beautiful stretch of highway, known as the 1100 Road (which, confusingly, is officially called route 1139). 

Follow the forest path up to the Bubjungak Observation Platform for a spellbinding view over the forests and mountains and as far as the sea.

Marvel at the View from Sunsrise Peak

Jeju Island’s second most famous landmark is Seongsan Ilchulbong , the huge green crater moored off Jeju Island’s east coast. Also known as Sunrise Peak , Seongsan Ilchulbong is over 180 metres high and another volcanic creation. 

Another of  Jeju’s UNESCO World Heritage sites , the climb to the top is arduous but fairly brief, taking around 30 minutes to complete. Thankfully there are plenty of places to pause for breath along the way.

The sensational views over the crater at the centre of Sunrise Peak and of the surrounding seas, as well as far back across the island way below, makes the effort all worthwhile.

Relax on One of Jeju's Breathtaking Beaches

Jeju’s dramatic coastline is also littered with a countless number of stunningly beautiful beaches. Two of the finest on Jeju Island are Hyeopjae beach and Hamdeok beach . 

At Hyeopjae beach, the beautiful soft golden sand mingles with craggy black rocks and the stunning aqua marine turquoise water of the sea. The green peak of Biyangdo Island sits in the waters just off in the distance. 

Hamdeok beach is just as heavenly. A small pier parts the beach, and at the far end an arching bridge leads out onto the familiar black rocks that line the pristine shoreline.

Look out for Haenyeo, Jeju's Free-Diving Grandmothers

Jeju’s most famous residents are the all-female free-diving grandmothers who scour the seas all around Jeju for fresh seafood for several hours a day. 

Called  haenyeo in Korean,  the all-female divers are mostly over the age of 60  and are an iconic part of Jeju’s history. 

Despite their advancing years, haenyeo free dive for up to six hours a day , hunting for a variety of seafood, including abalone, octopus and squid.

The small port below Sunshine Peak is one of the most popular places to watch them in action. A group of haenyeo  prepare for a dive here twice a day during summer, at 1.30pm and 3.00pm.

H aenyeo can also be seen all around Jeju’s coastline , and spotting them dive ought to be on any Jeju itinerary.

Follow any stretch of the coast road and keep your eyes peeled for heads bobbing or a pair of flippers descending into the sea. The south coast, especially around  Namwon , is a popular diving spot and a good place to go if you want to catch  haenyeo  in the action out in the wild.

Visit the Haenyeo Museum

Statues and a memorial to Jeju’s haenyeo free divers outside the Jeju Haenyeo Museum

The  haenyeo are such an iconic part of Jeju culture that there’s even a museum dedicated to them on the island.

The excellent  Jeju Haenyeo Museum  is about a ten minute drive north of Sunshine Peak and gives a fascinating overview of the history and the lives of these incredible women.

Jeju’s women have dived for seafood around the island for over a thousand years. Though their numbers may be in decline, there are still around 5000 haenyeo divers in Jeju , and over 95% of those are aged 50 or above. Many are well into their eighties.

Sample Jeju's Delicious Food

One of the best things to do in Jeju is to eat as much of the island’s mouthwatering food as possible. Besides the island’s ubiquitous oranges, Jeju is famous for black pork and copious amounts of fresh seafood . 

Jeju’s black pork is made from (and named after) the black pigs that are reared on the island. The pork is served smoked, which creates a unique flavour that differs from traditional types of pork meat.

Jeju’s other speciality is seafood . A huge variety of fresh seafood is caught in the waters around the island each day. The local mackerel is especially delicious, either grilled or served as sashimi. 

Another speciality is the long and silky hairtail fish . Hairtail doesn’t stay fresh for long so needs to be eaten soon after it’s taken from the sea, making it one of the freshest dishes you’ll find on the island. 

As is tradition, all meals are served with banchan , the almost endless array of Korean side dishes that nearly constitute a whole meal by themselves. 

Explore the Manjanggul Caves

Another example of Jeju’s volcanic beginnings can be found below ground at Manjanggul cave . Manjanggul cave was  created by the lava tubes that once flowed underground hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Deep inside Jeju’s Manjanggul caves

In their wake the flowing lava left behind a huge open cave, almost 9 kilometres in length and in some places over 30 metres high, though only a one kilometre stretch is open to the public.

The size and scale of Manjanggal cave is magnificent; a huge open chamber of stalactites, stalagmites and patterned rock formations (including one that resembles a scale model of Jeju Island) leads to a cascading solidified lava tower at the far end of the cave.

Walk the Trail around Mount Songaksan

On the far west corner of Jeju’s phenomenal south coast is Mount Songaksan , another jut of jagged land surrounded by an equally beautiful natural landscape. 

A walking trail follows the perimeter of Mount Songaksan, along the East China Sea before returning through a beautiful pine forest . 

A number of Korean dramas have shot scenes along the path around Mount Songaksan, making it a popular place to visit for young Koreans.

See the Stunning Yongmeori Coast

The Yongmeori Coast  is one of the most beautiful sections of Jeju Island’s entire coastline. At Yongmeori Coast a dramatic stretch of swirling yellow cliffs meander around the coastline, shaped over centuries by the sea’s waves.

Jeju’s incredible Yongmeori Coast

Sweeping patterns and smooth edges have been sculpted into the sand-coloured cliffs, alongside huge chunks of fallen slabs of stone. It’s a magical corner of Jeju’s incredible coastline and an essential inclusion to any Jeju itinerary. 

Visit Bomunsa Temple

The Bomunsa temple next to Sanbangsan Mountain on Jeju Island

Just opposite the entrance to Yongmeori coast is the grand Bomunsa Temple and Sanbanggulsa Grotto .

Sat at the foot of Sanbangsan Mountain, the vast Buddhist Bomunsa Temple consists of large ornate prayers halls guarded by a number of domineering Buddha statues, most notably the striking gold statue that faces the sunset to the west. 

A steep and exhausting trail behind Bomunsa Temple leads up to Sanbanggulsa Grotto , another Buddhist shrine concealed within a cave high up into the mountainside.

Admire the Spectacular Jusangjeolli Cliffs

Back towards the southern city of Seogwipo are the Jusangjeolli Cliffs , another of Jeju’s natural phenomena. 

Jusangjeolli Cliffs are a collection of tightly packed, black hexagonal columns, a result of volcanic lava solidifying to form staggered pillars that look like they protrude from the sea bed. 

The Jusangjeollie cliffs and watching the sunset over Jeju

Nearby is another Buddhist temple, the enormous and elaborate Yakcheonsa Temple . Featuring a colossal and highly ornate main hall and huge manicured grounds, Yakcheonsa Temple claims to be the largest in Asia.

See Jeju's Magnificent Waterfalls

Further along Jeju’s south coast are Cheonjiyeon and Jeongbang waterfalls . Cheonjiyeon waterfall is located next to Yeomiji Botanical Garden and stands at over 20 metres high. The waterfall is a popular tourist spot and particularly spectacular when light up at night. 

The colourful Seonimgyo Bridge that passes over the waterfall is almost as much of an attraction, decorated with the depiction of seven nymphs carved along its sides. 

Also over 20 metres tall, the spectacular Jeongbang waterfall is famous as the only waterfall in Asia that falls directly into the sea.

Be Inspired by Jeju's History

Across Jeju Island are a number of excellent outdoor museums and gardens. Two that are not to be missed are the Jeju Folk Village and the Spirited Garden . 

The  Jeju Folk Village  is a huge open air site where over 100 historic homes and buildings have been reconstructed and grouped together in themed villages. 

Jeju Folk Village is one of the most visited sites on the island and is an essential addition to any Jeju itinerary for those wishing to discover more about the unique history of Jeju Island.

Find Peace at Jeju's Spirited Garden

On the opposite side of the island, the Spirited Garden is a wonderful place to spend a peaceful couple of hours. The  Spirited Garden has been a labour of love for its creator, Seong Beomyeong, for over 50 years. 

The immaculate gardens house a beautiful collection of perfectly manicured bunjae trees (Korea’s version of bonsai), along with blossoming orange trees, waterfalls, and ponds filled with enormous multicoloured carp. 

On an island filled with natural beauty the Spirited Garden stands out as one of Jeju’s most spectacular spots. This is a great place to spend a relaxing hour or two and is easily one of the best things to do in Jeju Island.

Find a Museum for Almost Anything

Somewhat surprisingly for such a small island, Jeju Island is also home to a truly bewildering number of museums . 

For some, the term ‘museum’ might be a bit kind (a collection of things might be more accurate), and the reason for their existence may be financial rather than purely artistic . 

Yet Jeju Island features museums dedicated to a variety of baffling and assorted topics, including  seashells ,  K-pop , teddy bears, chocolate,  tea  and even  Zippo lighters . Other museums are dedicated to  Greek mythology ,  African art  and citrus fruits. 

Some of the exhibits on display at Jeju Island’s Love Land

Perhaps the most well known of Jeju’s less traditional attractions is Love Land , the theme park where the artworks are devoted to all things to do with sex, and where subtlety is abandoned and nothing is left to the imagination. 

The colourful exhibits range from the suggestive to the graphic to the comical. Entrance is only allowed to those aged 20 and over.

Extra Tips for Your Jeju Itinerary

It’s worth noting that there are small entrance fees for almost all of Jeju’s natural tourist sites, even though they would appear to be public places. 

For example, the Jusangjeollie Cliffs, the Yongmeori Coast and Jeongbang waterfall each have a 2000 won entrance fee. Whilst it won’t break the bank it may come as a surprise if you’re not expecting it. 

These sites also have operating hours and last admission can be weather dependent, so be sure to check in advance of the opening and last entry times if you’re running short on time. 

The Best Guidebooks for Jeju Island

There are few guides specifically for Jeju Island, which tends to be covered in detail in guidebooks that cover all of South Korea. If you’re planning on seeing more of South Korea buying a guide to the whole country is a good idea.

Considered one of the finest lava tunnels in the world, the lava tube at Manjanggul Cave stretches for 13.4 kilometres with one kilometre of the Manjanggul Cave is accessible to visitors.

The highlights are the ‘Stone Turtle’, which resembles the outline of Jeju Island, and an 8-metre tall lava column which is the largest in the world.

Jeju Itinerary tip: bring a rain jacket into the caves as it can get chilly and wet. The ground is uneven at times and can be slippery so make sure to wear proper footwear.

Day 2: Jusangjelloi Cliffs, Oedolgae Rock, Teddy Bear Museum and Waterfalls

Today’s itinerary is focused on the South of the island where some of Jeju’s most incredible sights are located within a short drive of each other. Our day 2 Jeju itinerary is jam packed so pick and choose as you please!

Jusangjelloi Cliffs

The spectacular Jusangjelloi Cliffs are comprised of hundreds of hexagonal basalt Oedolgae Rock stone. The cliffs were formed by a Mount Hallasan eruption and are one of the most beautiful sights in Jeju.

Jungmun Beach

If the weather is nice, the golden sands of Jungmun Beach are a lovely detour. With its crashing waves, Jungmun is a popular surf beach.

Teddy Bear Museum

The Teddy Museum is, unsurprisingly, a museum dedicated entirely to teddy bears! Hundreds of teddies from all over the world are displayed throughout the museum.

Our highlights were a teddy bear depiction of a scene from Gulliver’s Travels, the smallest teddy in the world, a teddy bear version of the Mona Lisa and the Vitruvian Teddy, a nod to Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man painting–  check prices here!

Cheonjeyeon Falls

Known as the Pond of God, legend has it that if you stand under the three-tiered Cheonjeyeon Falls on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month then diseases will be cured. The Seonimgyo Bridge, with its beautiful carving of seven nymphs, crosses over the Cheonjeyeon Falls.

Oedolgae Rock

The towering Oedolgae Rock is a quirky rock formation visible from the Olle trail, a series of trails which stretch across Jeju.

Jeongbang Waterfall

Our favourite of the Jeju waterfalls, Jeongbang is the only waterfall in Asia to fall straight into the ocean. The 23-meter high waterfall is surrounded by giant boulders which are fun to clamber over!

Cheonjiyeon Falls

Where the sky connects with the land, Cheonjiyeon Falls is accessed at the end of a scenic walk through lush surrounds.

Jeju itinerary tip: Make sure to sample some of the squid biscuits which are sold at the entrance of the Cheonjiyeon Falls.

Seogwipo Submarine

For a unique experience, take a ride on the Seogwipo Submarine as it descends 40 feet below the sea. There’s a small shipwreck on the route and, depending on the water conditions, its often possible to see scores of colourful wish – check prices here!

Jeju itinerary tip: if you are planning a family trip, the Seogwipo submarine is one of the best things to do in Jeju with kids!

Day 3: Love Land, Suwolbong Peak, Cactus Village and Beaches

Day 3 is also action packed so be sure to squeeze in your favourites!

The sex-themed outdoor sculpture park is by far the quirkiest of the things to do in Jeju . Sensual and erotic sculptures in various sex positions are dotted throughout Love Land and it’s a fun place to visit!

Jeju itinerary tip:  visitors must be 18 or over to enter Love Land

Mysterious Road

Located close to Love Land, Dokkaebi Road in Jeju is known as the Mysterious Road due to the baffling ability of objects to climb the hill instead of moving down it!

Jeju itinerary tip:  the gravity defying happenings at Mysterious Road are actually an optical illusion created by the road and its surroundings!

Iho Tewoo Beach

Iho Tewoo Beach is a popular Jeju hangout and it is ramed by a red and white horse shaped lighthouse at either end.

Hypeopjae Beach

The stunning white sands and turquoise waters of Hypeopjae Beach make it one of the most beautiful in Jeju.

Jeju itinerary tip: if Hypeopjae is teeming with people, the Geumneung Eutteumwon Beach is a great alternative. Located next to Hypeopjae, it is home to some awesome stone statues and is equally as beautiful as its neighbor.

Wollyeongri Cactus Village

A boardwalk leads visitors through a huge field of cactii which is spectacular against the ocean backdrop. The cactii are a Jeju specialty and a variety of products including face masks, juice and chocolate are stocked in the village.

Suwolbong Peak

Located at the most western point in Jeju, Suwolbong Peak is now an inactive volcano. Suwolbong Peak is the perfect spot to wrap up the day and watch the sunset over the beautiful landscape.

Day 4: Optional Days

Depending on your interests, you might like to add a full day Hallasan hike or a fun theme park outing to the Jeju itinerary.

Jeju itinerary tip: if you want to squeeze both a theme park and a hike then opt for one of the shorter Hallasan trails.

Theme Park: Jeju Shinhwa World

Jeju Shinhwa World is an entertainment complex consisting of a theme park and a water park. Shinhwa Water Park is the latest addition and has a variety of waves, slides and pools including a 230-meter high slide – check prices now!

Jeju itinerary tip: when we visited it seemed that development had stalled at Shinhwa World. The theme park was very quiet and there are were no waits for rides.

Book your Shinhwa tickets now

Hiking: Mount Hallasan 

If you love hiking then make sure to set aside a day for Mount Hallasan and its summit views of the incredible crater lake. Hallasan is South Korea’s tallest mountain and its distinct peak can be seen from all over Jeju.

The Hallahan hiking trails range from a 30 minute jaunt to an epic 5 hour adventure. There are two summit trails known as the Gwaneumsa and Seongpanak trails:

• Gwaneumsa Trail: 8.7 km summit trail which takes approximately 5 hours one way.
• Seongpanak Trail: 9.6 km summit trail which takes approximately 4.5 hours one way.

Jeju itinerary tip: Although longer, the Seongpanak trail is slightly easier than Gwaneumsa. Some parts of the trail are on a gentle slope and allow some breathing space between the stair climbs. It also has a rest stop with refreshments just before the final push for the Hallasan summit. It’s for these reasons that many visitors hike up the Seongpanak trail and descend via the Gwaneumsa trail.

The Eorimok and Yeongsil are Hallasan’s other popular trails. Although these trails don’t have views of the Baengnokdam Crater Lake, they are both great options to experience Hallasan and its stunning landscape.

• Eorimok Trail: 6.8 km trial which takes approximately three hours one way.
• Yeongsil Trail: 5.8 km trail which takes approximately three hours one way.

Jeju itinerary tip:  the weather changes fast on Hallashan so make sure to bring warm clothes and rain jackets.

The sunrise from the crater is magnificent. Also, the Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak surrounded by bright yellow colored canola flowers in the spring is truly a sight to behold.

Ilchul Land & Land Micheon Cave is a place where you can experience the beauty of nature, located at the point where a new sun rises. Among the 15 cave groups on Jeju Island, Micheon Cave is situated in the southeastern part and stands as one of the representative cave groups, being one of the most important caves on the island. The vast interior extends to 1.7km, but for safety reasons, only a 365m section is currently open to the public.

Micheon Cave is renowned for its impressive scale and majestic width, featuring irregular blocks of lava and lava stalactites within.  When the rain stops and the cave becomes quiet, the sound of water flowing and dripping in the cave adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the underground cavern. The cave’s interior is sufficiently cool, making it easy to forget the hot summer outside while exploring its depths.
