6 Days in South Korea: Seoul & Jeju Island

Overview

Start your first day in Jeju by seeing the island’s East side. After breakfast this morning, you’ll meet your expert island guide for a group tour of East Jeju Island. While tours vary, a visit typically begins at Jeolmul Natural Forest, where tall cedar trees and crisp air offer a peaceful retreat. Complement your visit to this enchanting forest with a burst of culture. Your next stop, Seongeup Folk Village, provides insight into traditional Jeju life, complete with historic homes and local customs. Then, at Gwangchigi Beach, you’ll switch to a coastal focus, enjoying striking waterfront views with the dramatic silhouette of Seongsan Ilchulbong — Sunrise Peak — in the distance. Remember what this looks like, as later today, you’ll have the chance to hike to the top for a panoramic view. Finally, to close off the tour, you’ll visit Jeju Stone Park, a fascinating outdoor museum that showcases the island’s volcanic origins and stone-based mythology. You’ll then have the rest of the afternoon and evening free to continue your immersion into Jeju’s landscapes. Remember that Sunrise Peak recommendation from earlier? Well, sunrise may be in the hike's name, but a sunset hike promises a trail that's just as good. (Breakfast, Lunch)
