Top Things to do in Jeju Island
Top 10 Forests in Jeju Island, Jeju Island
Where else can you find an azalea-framed volcano to climb, a sisterhood of deep-divers, and ancient stone statues on which to make wishes? Jeju Island. A favorite with newlyweds (and K-drama fans), this popular retreat is also home to miles of golden beaches, winding coastal trails, and Jeju Waterworld, the area’s largest water park. No matter what your fancy, one thing is for certain: a day of sightseeing isn’t complete without enjoying some of the isle’s delicious raw seafood and famed barbecued black pork.

I am really suprised this place has only few reviews here, it is one of the best things I got to do in Jeju, if you are afraid it's gonna be boring then let me tell you it's not, it's truely a "healing" experience, you leave phone and gadgets at the enterance and you just follow the guide and get far from everything and allow yourself to just rest, well you have to like nature to enjoy this experience for sure. Our guide was unforgettable.

An UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, the Hallasan National Park is loaded with walking trails and is home to South Korea’s highest mountain named the Shield Volcano Hallasan. You’ll find about 1800 different kinds of plants and a number of alpine animals along the way up. The park is a unique place for nature lovers. Settled right in the heart of Jeju island, this park with high density woods and blooming hillsides is concidered as a treat to be at. Transportation: start with chosing a right trail for you. There many different ways up to the mountain, but only one of them will bring you to the summit. To get to the entrance you’d probably need to take one of the public busses or rent a car. Both options are convenient. Equipment: You’d definitely need to be prepared for a long and tiring walk. All the trails are devided into segments, based on their difficulty. Some of the parts of the trail would be paved, some wouldn’t be equipped at all. You’d be grateful for those parts where you’d be able to walk and step on the wooden bridges and paths. But except those short and the easiest parts of the way, you’d need to climb on the steep and narrow rocks, hop along cobblestones and boulders. Timing: don’t rush, remember when you’re on the top, that was only a half of your journey. There is the same long way down the mountain when you’re on the summit. Tips: be prepared for considerable change of the temperature and other weather conditions. We started in a pleasant sunny day and finished when it was drizzling and the fog was literally embracing us. Add up some wind and decreased temperature and you’re almost in our shoes out there. You’d definetely need to wear tracking boots or something alike, protecting and supporting your feet well. Otherwise you risk hurting your ankles and knees. (as us, cause we were not prepared) You’d also want to change your clothes after 6-7 hours tracking up and down this mountain. Believe me you’ll be sweating af.

Understand there are three courses here - 30 mins, 60 and 90. Basically it’s a very light forest with pine and a few other trees that I am not familiar with. You choose the course and just take your time to walk - the air is fresh, nobody speaks loudly. The path will meander through trees, laughing statues, water fountain, and more trees. Would definitely recommend coming this place for those who want to calm their nerves and leave the city behind. We took the 30 mins course and came out refreshed.

Carpark available. It was a lovely walk in the forest. Wear comfortable shoes and a light jacket. We went during autumn. I have sinus.. but minute we walked into the forest, my nose magically cleared up. The air was fresh and the sounds in the forest was beautiful. Wish i could record it. They have created a path to walk so its easy. No food allowed though. Took about an hour to walk.
