🌈 Recommended 3-day 2-night itinerary for Jeju Island
Day-1️⃣: Airport-➡️ Hyeopjae Beach➡️ Woljeongri
Day-2️⃣: Seongsan Ilchulbong➡️ Udo➡️ Sopjikoji
Day-3️⃣: Jeju City➡️ Aewol-eup
.
📸 Must-visit spots in Jeju Island
1️⃣ Seongsan Ilchulbong
To see the sunrise at Seongsan Ilchulbong, I stayed nearby on purpose
In the early morning, walking towards the peak along the seaside canola flowers, watching the sun rise bit by bit from the sea
The classic seaside boardwalk spot doesn't require an entrance fee, and it's less crowded in the morning, so you can take photos freely
2️⃣ Hyeopjae Beach
I stayed in Hyeopjae for two nights this time, and I want to stay here again next time I come to Jeju Island
The endless jelly sea is really super beautiful!!
The row of hotels by the beach, with an average of 100+ you can have! The cost-performance ratio is maxed out!
3️⃣ Woljeongri Beach
It's a half-hour bus ride from Hyeopjae Beach to Woljeongri, a beach full of windmills
The row of coffee shops by the beach, each one is full of design sense!
Of course, almost everyone will go to 【mou moon cafe】 to check in
4️⃣ Udo
Believe me, if the weather is good, you really need to spend a whole day on Udo!!
The round-trip ferry costs ten thousand Korean won, accompanied by seagulls all the way
Rent an electric-assist bicycle for another ten thousand Korean won, and cycle around the island
Every frame is really a photo of life!
5️⃣ Aewol-eup Resort
The Aewol-eup beach on the west line is a must-visit, not far from the city center and the airport
The jelly sea here is really shocking even on cloudy days!
You can also experience paddling a glass boat on the sea, which is really unbeatably romantic!
6️⃣ Lazy pump
This cafe in Aewol-eup really epitomizes the Korean-style ruin atmosphere
On the way there, you always feel, why is it so desolate?
But once you arrive, you find that the design sense and scenery composition are too perfect!

⭐️ 2024 Jeju Island Travel Guide
🚌 You can take buses all over Jeju Island, but you need to allow enough time, often just waiting can take more than half an hour
💰 The common payment methods are still visa/master, many small shops and non-internet-famous shops don't support UnionPay and zfb, vx much
💳 It's recommended to get a wowpss card, which can be used as a prepaid consumption card and also as a bus card, and can be used wherever cards are accepted
🚗 If you are in a group, taking a taxi or chartering a car in Jeju Island is convenient and cost-effective, especially when going to some remote attractions or rushing the itinerary

Life advice: For your first trip abroad with a child, Jeju Island is really a great choice
If we're talking about visa-free islands, Jeju Island definitely deserves a mention. It's affordable, close to home, and just over an hour's flight away, you can enjoy the jelly-like sea!
Jeju Island is very suitable for family trips. There's no need for exhausting travel, and there are often special deals on flights. Let me recommend a few places that I particularly like, where walking with kids is easy and fun—
·
1️⃣ Udo Island: A great place to exercise with kids. Get off the boat and rent an electric bike right away. My child and I each had a bike, and we spent half a day touring Udo Island, checked in at the lighthouse, had sea salt ice cream, and walked on the beach. Remember to take the shortcut towards Seongsan Ilchulbong when you leave Udo Island; the sunset at Seongsan is just too beautiful.
2️⃣ Seongsan Ilchulbong: It's a place I must visit every time I go to Jeju! Whether it's for the sunrise or the sunset, it's worth seeing. I usually stay near Seongsan Ilchulbong, which also makes it convenient to go to Udo Island and Ssangyong.
3️⃣ Ssangyong: Tadao Ando's architecture is a must-see, and the cafe downstairs is worth a try. The occasional path in Ssangyong is also worth a walk, and friends with kids can also visit the largest aquarium in Asia.
4️⃣ Sanjun Buli: It's simply a holy place for Korean drama heroines! The entire hilltop reed field is too romantic—
5️⃣ Yeongmonth: A popular coastline on the west line, many trendy restaurants and cafes are worth trying. The downside is that it's crowded, but the upside is that it's really photogenic, and every shop is decorated with heart.
·
Jeju's buses run at long intervals, and the attractions are scattered. Friends with an international driving permit can try renting a car for a self-drive tour. If you want to enjoy the classic east and west lines on a free trip, you still need a car and a guide.
WanderingVirtuoso
Not Iceland! It’s South Korea!
Upset about rainy weather, but amazed after seeing this!
If you visit Jeju island in South Korea, don’t miss its East. The Sunrise peak was formed 7000 years ago by a volcanic eruption!🌋🙈
And now you can walk around black lava rocks and view this astonishing beauty!
Foggy weather made it even more mistique and distinct from other tourists pics.
And how about that Starbucks? The best view from the cafe ever! Also try the black sesame latte and special Jeju matcha.

As I mentioned before my top 3 destinations within Korea 📝, here is by far my number one 🪙 !
📍 Jeju Island (year round, plane tickets are quite cheap from Gimpo airport ✈️)
I had dreamt to go to Jeju for many years but even though I traveled a few times to Korea, I had never been before. so when the opportunity to go with a friend came, we jumped into it !
💡 have your international driving licence and rent a car ! or then travel by taxi if you prefer but the convenience of having a car is amazing there.
Jeju might look like a big island but it is, without being. you can easily travel from one side to the other within a few hours, which make it super easy to travel around and discover new places. 🏝
On the pictures are one of my favourite place, which is Seongsan Ilchulbong. It's a hard 30/40 stairs hike, but it's worth the view ! ⛰️
🔥 tip for vegetarian, I've actually found a lot of vegetarian and vegan options to eat around the island. I thought it was important to point it out !
I'm hoping in 2024, I'll be able to go back to this beautiful place 💕
I plan on posting more about Jeju soon !

Three days and two nights in Jeju Island
Jeju Island in the off-season is a paradise for self-healing
This time I stayed in Yayue Village
A place where you can see the sea and the lighthouse when you open the window
The day I arrived, my hat flew off as soon as I got out of the taxi without any precautions
Put down my luggage and take a walk nearby
The wind is so strong that I walk two meters and retreat three meters
Decided to eat barbecue in the nearest restaurant
After eating, I went back to the hotel and took a rest
Took the bus to Ilchul Peak to watch the sunset
Hahaha, yes, watching the sunset at Ilchul Peak
The wind was a bit smaller at this time
The weather is not so cold, very comfortable
Came when it was about to close, few people, equivalent to a private booking
In the evening, I went to a popular restaurant that is the same as the one in the love series
The dishes are indeed very fresh and the prices are quite affordable
The lobster ramen can be said to be the ramen of my life
So fresh that it's amazing!
The next day I slept until I woke up naturally, it was a cloudy day
There is sun, but not much
Find a coffee shop nearby and have a beautiful breakfast
Why say it's beautiful, it's literal
Beautiful scenery, beautiful food
Then I took the bus to the pier
Boarded the ship to Udo
Wow, the scenery is really good
Without an international driver's license, I could only rent an electric bicycle
It's not bad, it's not tiring at all
But we sat down at the first beach
Never got up again until the return trip
The dong of the jelly sea is the dong of heart
The seawater is really like jelly, duangduang
Sitting on the beach eating a fish cake
The soup base is actually made of kelp, another little surprise
In the evening, I went to the same barbecue omakase as the love series
The meat quality is definitely not as good as the one I ate the day before
The main thing is to experience the different tastes of different parts of the pig's body
The service is excellent, just open your mouth all the way
On the third day, I still slept until I woke up naturally
Went directly to Xiaocai Beach to eat at the same restaurant as Gong Liu and Lee Dong Wook
The seafood pancake is fragrant and crispy, very, very delicious
Other dishes did not leave a stunning feeling
Although it rained heavily this day
But the transparency of Xiaocai Beach is not inferior to Udo
I also met a magpie during the walk
This place is so comfortable, I want to stay for a few days next time

#jeju
This is the view of Seongsan, also known as the Sunrise Peak. It is a UNESCO, World Natural Heritage Site. It is more accessible by car as buses are infrequent and the timings are unreliable. Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone rose 180 meters above sea level due to a magma flow under the sea over 5,000 years ago. The crater is about 600 meters in diameter and 90 meters deep. It takes around 50 minutes for a round trip up and down the mountain. However, it requires a fee to hike. The view from the free zone is also amazing! Worth it.

Seongsan Ilchulbong Sunrise Peak
Seongsan Ilchulbong#Seongsan Ilchulbong is one of the attraction that you must visit in Jeju Island, South Korea. It is known as "Sunrise Peak" and is a UNESCO world heritage site.
This place is known for its magnificent sunrise view. Seonsan Ilchulbong rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago.
If you are in Jeju and wants to catch the Sunrise, do check the sunrise timing and plan your itinerary in advance and your set off time.
To hike to the peak, it will take roughly about 20 to 30mins. Although you are setting off in the early morning, there is no need to worry about the hiking route. The hike up is mainly steps and there is well-managed walking path.
We travelled during the winter season and it was manageable. However do bring along your jacket as the hike up could be rather chilly.
However, we are rather unlucky due to the cloudy day but it was still a good workout. After you are done with peak, the way down there was also many scenic view for photo taking.
Overall, it is a must-visit place at Jeju!

Instagramable cafe with a view
Dubbed as the cafe with staircase to heaven, this cafe is definitely one that is the most instagramable.
Even it is no longer summer in Jeju, the intense sun of the island still remains rather unforgiving, so I would advise you to either seek refuge in either the second floor of the cafe or one of the sunshade umbrella and enjoy the therapeutic sounds and sights of the waves hit the shores

Seongsan Ilchulbang
Seongsan Ilchulbong is probably the next most famous hiking area after Hallasan. The climb up is not long about 30-45 minutes but the steps are steep.
This place use to be a volcano about 5000 years ago and have been featured by a lot of films and dramas.
At the peak you will see the amazing side of geography because this place use to be a separate island! But over time the build up of sand and soil has made it become one with mainland.
It is said that many people wakes up early in the morning to catch the sunrise here.

Sunrise Peak at Jeju!
Seongsan Ilchulbong also known at Sunrise Peak - the East end of Jeju Island, Korea, perfect for catching stunning orange sunrise! #jeju

Seongsan Ilchulbong Sunrise Peak in Jeju
Tuff volcano located in eastern Jeju Island about 180+ metres in height, a famous spot to catch sunrise, weather permitting of course, which unfortunately was shrouded in fog when I was there in mid June. Many flights of stairs, twisting and turning to reach the peak which affords panoramic, bird's eye view of Seongsan town below, the shimmering blue seas of Jeju and Udo island, another famous attraction in the distance.
There is also the famous Haenyo, Jeju women free form divers performance, mostly elderly women now who dive into the bountiful seas of Jeju to harvest treasures like the prized Abalone, sea urchin and other seafood, speaking of which the famed Abalone porridge is a must try while here, perhaps with a protein like freshly caught mackerel for a complete meal.

Located on the eastern end of Jeju Island, about an hour and a half drive from Jeju city, sits Seongsan Ilchulbong; otherwise known as Sunrise or Sunset Peak. Now considered to be one of the new 7 wonders of nature, Sunset Peak, as we will refer to it, was also declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site with it’s incredible 600m diameter crater at its highest point.
When you walk into the vicinity of Sunset Peak, you’ll find a number of tourist-catered cafes and shops catering to the groups of tourists that now flock to the area, whilst panoramic views await you just a further few steps away. What’s more, if you’re visiting Sunset Peak around 1:30 or 3pm, you can catch a glimpse of the Haenyo Divers – local Jeju women diving into the waters to catch fresh abalone, octopus or crabs. There’s a trail opposite the main hike that will lead you down to the island’s bay, where you can perch yourselves and watch the divers disappear into the green waters, or hop on a boat and take a quick ride around the area.

However the day I went there was not a sunny day I am satisfied with what I get in-front of my eyes 👀. I feel relaxed and I completely forget all my hectic schedule for a while as I completely get drenched inside it.

The sunrise peak of Seongsan in Jeju Island is very nice. Climbing slowly along the stone stairs to the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery, which is worth taking a long time to visit. 💘
Lots of snacks, souvenirs, cafes and more at the foot of the mountain. Here you can drive to Udo Island's pier within 10 minutes.

The famous Seongsan Ilchulbong or must known as The Sunrise Peak. Unfortunately I was kot able to watch the sunrise here because it was too far from my hotel but even theres no sunrise, I must say that it was worth to visit anytime! And dint forget to try their peanut and marshmallow ice cream! It was the best.
Collegiala015
Certainly a must-visit destination in Jeju! Soak yourself in the impressive view of this UNESCO heritage site. We came on the first Monday of the month, and unfortunately the paid trail to the peak is closed. Blessing in disguise is that portion of the trail is open free to the public though it only brings us to mid-way - perfect for those who find it too challenging to climb to the top. Don’t miss the women divers show which is on the left trail, at the foot of Seongsan Ilchulbong. Showtimes are 1.30 and 3pm. It’s complimentary. And you can choose to buy and eat fresh abalone at the little restaurant. Overall a truly relaxing and uplifting experience!

Jeju Seongsan Cafe Deureukumda to My Own Beach!
📍Deureukumda in Seongsan Studio
Deureukumda in Seongsan is more like a theme park than a cafe, and it even says 'studio' at the entrance. Instead of an entrance fee, you can enter by purchasing one drink per person at the cafe! The drink price includes the entrance fee.
☕️ The drink prices range from 6,000 to 9,000 KRW, so it's not the cheapest place!
However, it's a large and well-decorated place, making it a great tourist spot for taking photos and exploring. There are also tables inside where you can sit and enjoy your coffee!
There are carousel and bicycle-shaped rides, making it a good place to bring children :)
🎠 The carousel is free to use!
But‼️
The main attraction here is the castle! As shown in the photos, there's a castle that looks like it's straight out of a cartoon. You can even go up to it. Although the weather wasn't perfect, the castle looked beautiful against the sky. There's also a sky staircase where you can take amazing photos.
📸 Recommended spots: the path to the castle, the sky staircase, and Deureukumda Beach
Deureukumda in Seongsan also has its own beach. There's a path from the cafe that leads to a quiet and clean beach with a view of Seongsan Ilchulbong. It's a must-visit spot! It's perfect for taking photos and relaxing in peace. Sometimes, you can even go horseback riding, making it a perfect place to fully enjoy the Jeju atmosphere.
🌊 Must visit Deureukumda Beach! It's great for taking photos and relaxing without the crowds. Sometimes, you can even go horseback riding, making it a perfect place to fully enjoy the Jeju atmosphere.

Dreamy spot for mountain and sea views
Hands down the best place in Jeju island. It required a bit of hike and the weather can be hot during the day time. However this is a stunning spot for photography. Especially during the later hours.
We visited it twice during our stay. Both the times it was equally gorgeous. It is well connected with all parts of Jeju via bus. I will recommend staying back for sunset.
There are plenty of restaurants once you are done with this place. So it is always a good idea to have dinner in a nearby eatery and then head back.#jeju #ilchul #mountainview #oceanview #sunnyday #cherryblossom2024 #mytravelhacks #localguides #historicallandmarks #koreatrip
