Explore an island of volcanic cones, coastal trails, waterfalls, beaches, forests, stone villages and traditions shaped by the sea.
Jeju feels very different from South Korea's major cities. The island combines the silhouette of Hallasan with lava tubes, volcanic cones known as oreum, basalt cliffs, clear-water beaches and trails crossing fields, forests and small communities. Its distinct identity also appears in stone walls, tangerine orchards, markets and the culture of the haenyeo, Jeju's traditional women divers. Planning by area is essential because distances are substantial and many natural attractions are spread far apart. This guide brings together practical advice for choosing accommodation, arranging transportation, trying local specialties and building a realistic route around the island.
