Jeju island- The Hawaii of Korea

Jeju Island: The Hawaii of Korea!

One of the most beautiful places in Korea


    A semi-tropical island south of the mainland, Jeju is indeed a paradise. The highest mountain in South Korea, Hallasan is a challenging one-day hike. Awaiting you at the top are spectacular views and an extinct volcano crater. White sandy beaches abound at every corner, and there is spectacular scuba diving down south, near Seogwipo. Be sure to check out some of the Crater Tubes, which are massive caves created by receding Lava from Hallasan's Volcanic Eruptions.

 Jeju Island Tip: Don't worry about booking a hotel ahead of time, unless you want to stay in one of the luxurious ones such as the Hyatt. There are plenty of rooms available, even during the high season. I like to stay in "Yeogwan" or "Minbaks," which are family run small motels. They are very cheap at around $30 US per night, and are quite comfortable.

  Jeju Island Travel Tip: Make sure to pick up a map from Tourist Information at the airport. It will prove itself invaluable during your trip to Jeju Island!

  Jeju Travel Tip: It's not that easy or convenient to get around the island via public transport, so if possible, rent a bicycle, scooter or car and use the "coastal road." It's beautiful!

  Jeju Travel Tip: Be sure to try some "Jung-Shik" which means the "daily special" or daily plate. It's usually cheap (around 5000 Won), filling and delicious. You'll always get some rice, soup, and then various side dishes. Just look for the place with all the taxis outside and you'll know it's a good one!
