Detailed itinerary

1

Walk along wooden boardwalks through a high-altitude wetland located 1,100 meters above sea level. Surrounded by wild grasses and seasonal flowers, the landscape feels dreamlike and serene. As a Ramsar-listed ecological reserve, it’s a protected haven for unique flora and fauna. One of its greatest charms is the breathtaking view of Hallasan — the closest you can get without hiking.

2

Jusangjeolli Cliff is Jeju’s masterpiece carved by fire and sea. Here, hexagonal basalt pillars rise like a cathedral of stone, each column a silent witness to volcanic forces thousands of years ago. Waves crash endlessly against the cliffs, sending sprays of white foam into the air, as if nature itself were performing a grand symphony. The sight feels otherworldly—shadows deepen in the rock’s dark hues, while sunlight dances on the ocean’s surface. At sunset, the golden glow transforms the columns into shimmering sculptures, painting the coast in hues of amber and crimson. Standing before Jusangjeolli, visitors feel both the raw power and delicate artistry of nature, an eternal harmony between land and sea.

3

A multi-tiered waterfall surrounded by dense forest and folklore, offering one of Jeju’s most beautiful short hikes.

4
Stop 4

Walk through endless green tea rows and enjoy tastings, desserts, and exhibitions at Korea’s premier tea museum.

5

Songaksan, a coastal volcano crowned with emerald meadows, invites travelers into a world where land, sea, and wind exist in perfect harmony. Rising gently above the southwestern shore of Jeju, the mountain unfolds sweeping vistas of vast ocean horizons, dotted with distant islands and ships. Along its trails, wild grasses sway to the rhythm of the sea breeze, while volcanic craters and rugged cliffs whisper stories of Jeju’s fiery past. The coastline below is shaped into dramatic curves, where turquoise waves crash endlessly against black rocks, creating a breathtaking contrast. On clear days, the view extends all the way to Hallasan and even to the distant Marado and Gapado islands, offering a panorama that feels both infinite and serene. At sunset, Songaksan glows with golden light, turning its green fields into a radiant canvas. To stand here is to feel Jeju’s spirit—untamed, timeless, and endlessly captivating.

6

Bomunsa Temple at Sanbangsan rests gracefully at the foot of a towering stone mountain, where sea breezes and sacred silence intertwine. The temple gazes out over the endless horizon, its bells echoing softly against the cliffs, as if blending prayer with the rhythm of the waves. Within the mountain lies Sanbanggulsa, a cave temple steeped in legend, where the scent of incense and the whispers of history linger in the air. Pilgrims and travelers alike find peace here, drawn by the harmony of nature’s grandeur and spiritual devotion. As the sun sets, casting golden light upon the temple roof and the rugged cliffs above, Bomunsa becomes more than a place of worship—it is a sanctuary where Jeju’s natural beauty and timeless faith meet in perfect balance.

7

This is not part of the guided tour, but upon request, guests may be dropped off here at the end.
Dongmun Market is Jeju’s most vibrant marketplace, alive with the colors, scents, and flavors of the island. Founded decades ago, it has long been the heart of local life, where tradition meets the everyday rhythm of Jeju people. Stalls overflow with fresh seafood, from silver mackerel to abalone and sea urchin, alongside mountains of tangerines glowing like golden suns. The air is filled with the sizzling aroma of street food—crispy jeon, sweet hallabong juice, and skewers grilled to perfection. Visitors wander through narrow alleys, discovering handmade crafts, local snacks, and warm smiles from vendors eager to share Jeju’s culture. By night, the market transforms into a lively food haven, where the buzz of voices mixes with the steam of hot dishes. To walk through Dongmun Market is to taste, smell, and feel the very soul of Jeju.
