Top Things to do in Jeju Island
What to do and see in Jeju Island, Jeju Island: The Best Hiking Trails
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.

Thanks to Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) and Jeju Olle walking Festival, we got an opportunity to participate in the Jeju Olle Walking festival 2020 despite there was a limitation on the number of the participant due to spread of Covid-19. This year, the festival is held in a new and unique way with the slogan “Walk Apart, Finish Together”. All participants have to register online in advance; only up to 15 participants accepted for each of 23 routes for 23 days. Also, all the participants were given Clean Kit set that includes face masks, sanitizers, and others needed for personal hygiene. Since we had just one day to participate in the walking festival, Route 10 was chosen for our team. Route 10 start from Hwasun Golden sand beach, then passes through major touristic attractions Sanbangsan Mountain, Yongmeori Coast, Songaksan Mountain, Altteureu Airfield, Victims Memorials, and finally Hamo beach which is close to the endpoint. The total distance is 15.6 km with a maximum elevation of around 60 m. The walking experience in this route was amazing. We pass various landscapes, from beaches to forest, coastal walk to mountain hiking, and finally to radish and potato farms at Altteureu Airfield site. The various volcanic and sedimentary rock structures at Sanbangsan Mountain foothills and Yongmeori Coast were amazingly gorgeous. Walking along the perimeter of volcanic mountain Songaksan was a unique experience. The cliffs of the mountain close to sea were spectacular and walking along the top of those cliffs was just amusing. This type of walking, I think, gives the opportunity to explore the hidden natural beauty of Jeju Island and its traditional cultures which we could miss if visited by other means. Thus, the Jeju Olle Trails is highly recommended for those who love hiking or walking and want to explore hidden natural beauties while enjoying local customs and local foods. I, personally, wish to complete all the Olle walking trails and get the certificate of completion from the organizer.

There are several trails to various peaks of Hallasan. Travelling with family and limited time, we only hiked one of the shorter trails i.e. Eorimok. The 1.3 km trail begins where the car park is. From the car park, it is only a 300 meter hike uphill and you are at the top (the lower peak). Being December, there is already snow (or frost?) at the peak. Magical... Oh, and we took a public bus from Jeju bus terminal which costs us less than KRW 2,000 per person, and the park entrance is free. You only pay for parking if you drive there

Was with my photographer here for my prewedding photoshoot. The forest was amazing for a background photoshoot as the trees were tall and very densed. Lighting from the sunlight was just nice, and well covered by the tall trees. There were also a few spots that has wooden chairs built for resting. Recommended for prewed photoshoots!
