The essential Jeju island itinerary stops — from volcanic peaks to hidden beaches
Korea's highest peak (1,950m) and a UNESCO World Heritage volcano. Eorimok trail (5.3km) rewards with stunning crater lake views on clear days.
The 'Sunrise Peak' — a 182m volcanic crater rising from the sea. Climb 99 stone steps for a panoramic crater view. Best at dawn for the iconic sunrise.
One of the world's longest lava tubes (7.4km), formed 250,000 years ago. The accessible section (1km) maintains a cool 11°C year-round.
Hamdeok's turquoise waters dazzle in summer. Hyeopjae faces west — perfect for sunset swims with volcanic rock formations in the background.
A 2km coastal walk past canola fields, stone walls, and volcanic rock cliffs. Made famous by the film 'Sopyonje'. Spectacular in spring (April canola).
Jeju is Korea's premier mandarin (hallabong) producer. Visit a tangerine farm for pick-your-own (Nov–Jan), or grab fresh hallabong juice at any market.
