About Jeju Island

Jeju Island is Korea's most beloved escape β€” a volcanic paradise of dramatic lava cliffs, emerald seas, cascading waterfalls, and the iconic Hallasan volcano. A UNESCO triple crown destination.

Must-Visit Places

  • Hallasan National Park β€” Korea's highest peak (1,950 m). The summit hike rewards with a stunning volcanic crater lake.
  • Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) β€” A dramatic UNESCO-listed tuff cone rising from the sea. Sunrise here is unforgettable.
  • Manjanggul Cave β€” One of the world's longest lava tube caves, stretching 13.4 km.
  • Jusangjeolli Cliffs β€” Perfectly hexagonal basalt columns stacked like organ pipes along the coastline.
  • Hamdeok Beach β€” Jeju's most picturesque beach, with turquoise shallow water and a walkable reef at low tide.
  • Cheonjeyeon & Cheonjiyeon Waterfalls β€” Twin jewels of Jeju's natural beauty, surrounded by lush subtropical forest.

Food & Dining

  • Heuk Dwaeji (Black Pork BBQ) β€” Jeju's iconic black pigs produce uniquely rich, tender meat. Grilled samgyeopsal here is on another level.
  • Abalone (Jeonbok) β€” Freshly caught by Jeju's haenyeo (women divers). Try jeonbok juk (abalone porridge) or raw abalone sashimi.
  • Hallabong & Tangerine Products β€” Jeju's sweet tangerines and hallabong citrus are legendary.
  • Bing-su (Shaved Ice) β€” Try Jeju-style hallabong or green tea flavored shaved ice.
