The walk up to the summit can be tiring, but it is easy to manage with plenty of rest points along the way. Complete the walk by sunset to get amazing views at golden hour.

Terrific views of the coastline as well as Hallasan. Majestic scenery as the light hits at certain angles. A manageable hike up to the summit is well worth seeing the crater and the open sea.

There’s an entry ticket 🎫 to climb the summit. It’s bit tiring but there are multiple rest points, washrooms on the way. The weather was extremely hot so it became bit difficult 😞 to climb but once you reach the top, tge view is totally 💯 worth it! This peak is actually called the centre of Jeju which divides it in 2 parts. Definitely recommended but do carry sunglasses 🕶️ and pther heat protectant 👍🏻

We checked in the Coop City Hotel the night before and climbed the Seongsan Ilchulbong the following morning after having a leisurely breakfast buffet. We are not early risers and did not try to catch the sunrise which was probably blocked by the October early morning clouds. The ticket to go up was KRW5000 pp. You have the option to go down towards the beach for free. It is a long climb with lots of stairs, but it is worth it. Every once in a while, we would take a break to admire and take photos of the view. The view only gets better as you go higher. And we had perfect late morning weather, sunny with a cool breeze. It was very rewarding to reach the summit and admire the views of the town, ocean and crater. The summit has lots of wood steps for sitting and relaxing. October is not too crowded. You go down using a different set of stairs. The view is as good going down as it was going up. I usually find going down tougher on my knees, but this descent was pretty easy and fast. I think the pitch of the steps matched my stride length. Once we got to the bottom, we headed down to the beach to admire the waves and view of the Ilchulbong from sea level. The water was too rough for divers, but there were ladies selling raw shellfish which we passed on. I would definitely recommend Seongsan Ilchulbong if you are physically capable of handling the climb. It was one of the highlights of our 4-night Jeju trip. Note: there is a defibrillator and a toilet partway up the climb. Also, if you are pregnant, you will have priority car parking spaces marked in pink paint, closest to the ticket office. LOL.

A great place, UNESCO world heritage that we can get a relaxing ocean view, volcanic island experience. If you arrived before 2.00 p.m. you can watch the traditional dive women ( Haenyo) performance.

Seongsan Ilchulbong, or Sunrise Peak, is one of Jeju’s most iconic natural landmarks, famous for its dramatic volcanic tuff cone and the stunning panoramic views from the summit. The climb is relatively short but can be steep in sections, with well-maintained stone steps and handrails making it manageable for most visitors, though it can get crowded, especially at sunrise or peak tourist season. From the top, you can see the crater, rolling green slopes, the surrounding coastline, and the sparkling blue ocean, offering excellent photo opportunities and a sense of Jeju’s unique volcanic landscape. The base area has parking, restrooms, small cafes, and souvenir shops, and there are coastal walking paths and viewpoints around the area, making it easy to explore without needing to climb if you prefer. The sunrise experience is particularly spectacular, giving the peak its name, but even daytime visits provide breathtaking scenery. That said, beyond the climb and the views, there isn’t a lot else to do, and the site can feel very touristy at times, with lots of people taking photos and walking around. Overall, Seongsan Ilchulbong is a must-see for first-time visitors to Jeju, offering a short but highly rewarding hike, iconic landscapes, and an unforgettable perspective of the island’s natural beauty, though it’s best to visit early or off-peak to fully enjoy it.

Tickets cost 5,000 ₩ per adult to reach the summit, which is about 400 steps up. The climb is worth it—the view is stunning, and you can even spot Hallasan in the distance! I wouldn’t have guessed Seongsan Ilchulbong is a volcanic crater if I hadn’t read about it, since its slopes are now covered in lush green vegetation, giving it a grassy appearance. On the way down, the Haenyeo divers weren’t working due to rough waters, but I still managed to run into one!

I went here to see the famous Osulloc teahouse which is near their tea plantation. They sold multiple types of tea with unique variations such as sakura, tangerine, rose and other fruit extracts. Some cookies and baked goods were sold here but mostly contained alcohol/pork. There were some samples available for vistiors to try as well. I bought the matcha spread and it was great. They had a cafe inside where you can chill after you've done shopping.

A refined green tea experience. The complex features a tea terrace noodle bar, an observation deck accessible by elevator, and scenic tea fields perfect for photos. But the real highlight was the Tea Stone Cellar, which resembles a luxury, winery like atmosphere. The free tea samples were of excellent quality, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. The individual packed contains half the amount of tea at the same price, and the staff recommend the normal packaging while giving us complimentary tea bags to self pack. This outlet is far more than your typical Osulloc. It offers a wider variety of items, including several that aren’t available at the other usual branches. As always, all the Osulloc green tea snacks were exceptional. We actually preferred the snacks to the cafe items, and stocked up quite a bit. The only downside is the crowd, it was far busier than most places in Jeju, which took away the calm charm of Jeju.

A solid tea museum with a nice café and shop. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. We tried Set B at the café, which came with Jeju Matcha Soft (Cup), Agabaum (Hallabong), and Jeju Udo Peanut Offreddo, plus a matcha latte. The highlight was the Matcha Strawberry Shortcake, which was genuinely excellent. Super flavourful, light and fluffy, with strawberry jam in the centre. The cream was nicely done too, not heavy at all. The total came to around ₩38,000. The tea shop has a good variety to browse through, and you can watch live tea roasting, which is quite interesting. They offer a premium tea course as well (₩60,000, or ₩54,000 for same-day bookings). One thing to note: it gets very crowded, so I'd suggest coming early if you want a more relaxed experience. Overall, a pleasant spot for tea lovers.

An amazing Korean tea farm with multiple restaurants and huge gift shop in one location. All of the food is very fresh and the matcha noodles are handmade on site. The attached tea/dessert cafes food has some of the best matcha cake and ice cream ive ever tried. Osulloc was unfamiliar to me until I tried some of their Jeju Orange Tea a little over a year ago. I never considered myself to be a tea connoisseur, but it quickly altered my taste for good tea. There are multiple types that can only be found at this and if you've ever tried some of their products this location needs to be added to your lists if visiting Jeju. Only downside is a product of their mastery as it is very busy and crowded. Finding a seat may take some time and patience. Overall I highly recommend and will be visiting them again in the future.

Arrived around 2:30 pm on a Friday and the main car park was full, so we had to park across the road and wait a bit for a spot. The area was very busy! We started at the Innisfree Cafe and then walked over to Osulloc Cafe, where we spent most of our time enjoying tea. Tried Set B — a dessert trio that’s basically a Jeju sampler: green tea, Hallabong, and Udo peanuts, all on one table!

Osulloc is synonymous with premium green tea in South Korea, particularly renowned for its roots on Jeju Island. Visitors generally have two distinct experiences: the Osulloc Tea Museum/Green Tea Fields on Jeju, and the Osulloc Tea Houses found in cities like Seoul and Busan. The Jeju experience is highly immersive. While the "museum" aspect is sometimes described as more of a large shop and cafe than a traditional museum, the expansive green tea fields surrounding it are breathtaking and provide fantastic photo opportunities. Visitors love the opportunity to stroll through the lush plantations and breathe in the fresh, tea-scented air. The cafe here is a major draw, offering a wide array of delicious green tea-infused desserts and beverages, with the matcha ice cream and green tea roll cake being consistent favorites. There's also an adjacent Innisfree Jeju House offering unique products and interactive experiences. Osulloc Tea Houses in the cities offer a more urban, yet still elegant, tea experience. They are praised for their cozy ambiance, attentive staff, and beautifully presented teas and matcha desserts. While some find the prices steep, the quality of the green tea is widely acknowledged as exceptional. Beyond drinks and sweets, Osulloc is also a popular place to purchase high-quality teas and tea-related products, often beautifully packaged for gifts. Overall, Osulloc delivers a sensory journey for tea lovers, whether amidst the serene fields of Jeju or in the stylish urban cafes.

What I like about the place is that it has a cafe, store and relaxing spaces around the area...not a huge museum though (unlike what I expected). You can also walk through the fields of tra plantations and innis free store is just nearby. Many IG worthy spots and is recommended for those who love tea as it is where you can buy authentic tea bags/loose leaf.

Came on a weekday morning, free 2 hours parking. Tickets at 12,000won for adult. Can buy tickets from kiosk at entrance. Place was quite small, takes about 1 hour to finish whole place. Suitable for kids below 10yo. Plenty of bear exhibitions and bear on display and a build a bear counter at the gift store. Most interesting part would prolly be the art part. Good activity to hide from the sun.

Much more interesting and impressive than I expected! The history stories and the remakes of classic works of art were very well-made! Saw the most expensive teddy and the 9 meter high bear! I also like that it only took me an hour to get through.

Great place that is rich with the history of teddy bears, relevant facts living up to its name (TB musuem). Inside it was a store where one can personalize a bear, and also a cafe fo refreshments. Tickets are available at the entrance and they also have parking space.

They’ve recreated famous historical events and paintings with teddy bears. Merch shop sells a variety of cute teddy bears. It’s a small museum but worth a visit if you are in the area.

The museum is not that big, still, it is divided to several exhibitions. There are historical, art and big gallery shop with varieties of bears 🐻. Good to come with kids. Ticket costs 12k for an adult. Which is a bit pricy for this little museum.

It a teddy bear place with lots and lots of teddy bear. You can DIY your teddy bear with 30000 or 50000 Won. There are a lot of shops opposite the museum too like Starbucks, Olive Young. Good to enjoy half a day there.

A good place to spend the morning, not too crowded. They have rich history of the bear displays and even “The most expensive bear” that’s auctioned. Bought a cute bear at the gift shop. Morning well spent!

This natural water spot is a hidden gem on the island. I loved simply walking around and sitting near the waterfall in a quiet, timeless summer moment. I took a photo — completely alone — and felt myself dissolve into nature during the golden hour. It was peaceful, healing, and beautifully unforgettable. 🌿💧✨

There are two waterfalls in the area with very similar names. This is the Cheonjiyeon which is spelled with "i". The other one is spelled with an "e". I am deducting one star from the rating because there was a lot of confusion and wasted time and effort trying to find this waterfall. This waterfall is only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the town. The first time we tried to find this waterfall by driving, we confused it with the other one and ended up visiting that one instead (which we had planned to do anyways). The second time we tried walking to it by following the Naver GPS. A 16-minute walk took us to the top or backside of the waterfall where you cannot see it. After our walk back to our hotel, we were ready to give up. On our third attempt, we tried driving with the GPS again. This took us to the bottom of the town where there is a large parking lot and the KRW2000 ticket office for Cheonjiyeon. Finally! Tip: If you stand on the large flat boulder to the bottom right of the waterfall, you can get somebody to take a nice picture of you with all of the crowd cropped out. You just have to wait your turn.

There is a large carpark for this attraction and entry tickets not only included the waterfall but also other scenic trails. Be prepared to spend a long time here if you want to explore natire. The act park has restaurants and souvenir shops. It is well lit at night, we came during sunset but managed to see it in all it's glory. Clean toilet facilities towards the entrance.

Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is one of the three famous waterfalls in Jeju. The other two are Cheonyejeon Waterfall and Jeongbang Waterfall. Cheonjiyeon literally means 'the sky (cheon) meets the land (ji)'. It is 22m high and 12m wide. Entry is by ticket, 2000 won per adult above 25 years old. Visitors from 7 to 24 years old pay 1000 won. The opening hours are from 9.00am to 9.20pm. If you arrive early, you will have to wait. There are stalls selling food, drinks and souvenirs beside the big car park.

It's a five minute stroll through a beautiful garden to get to the waterfall. There's a small entrance fee to enter which can be paid by credit card. A very peaceful and meditative place!

Lovely waterfall in a gorgeous natural setting with gardens and sculptures. So why only three stars? Good luck trying to get a decent view of the waterfall or fight your way through the crowd to get close. If you are unlucky enough to be there at the same time as one or more tour buses, then your pleasant visit to what would be a beautiful, tranquil place will be ruined. In our case, there were large groups of very loud tourists chanting/singing and shouting in unison, which made it unpleasant. Hey, I'm a tourist too, so I accept that spots can get crowded, but I try to be respectful of others. All is not lost, however, if you take the side garden path through the woods on the quieter "out"/exit side of the loop trail. In general, the exit side is less visited and nicer. The garden areas are nice, and the plants are labeled, so you can learn something and enjoy them.

Cheap tickets to get in however had a lot of tourists here. The waterfall was nice but the weather was overcast. I’m sure it would’ve looked a lot better with the sun being out. Stayed for a maximum of 10 minutes as there wasn’t much to stick around for.

Great location for a short stop. Nice views of a waterfall flowing into the sea. Good scenery that's accessible a relatively short walk from where you parked your car. The mists from the waterfall were so cooling in summer. It's like air conditioning.

🌊 Jeongbang Waterfall, Seogwipo (Jeju Island) Visited Jeongbang Waterfall in Seogwipo is one of Jeju’s most famous waterfalls and the only one in Korea that falls directly into the sea. Amazing view. Entry is ₩2,000 per adult, and payment is card only (no cash accepted). The site opens at 9 am, and I recommend coming early for better photos and fewer crowds. The path involves a series of steep steps down to the viewing area. Midway, you’ll find a few local ladies selling fresh seafood (abalone, squid, clams, etc.) under the sun, sitting on small stools overlooking the sea. Prices start around ₩30,000 per plate, depending on what’s available. You can walk down to the foot of the falls but do so at your own risk. The path is rocky, uneven, and can be slippery, especially near the water. If you get close enough, you’ll feel the cool mist from the falls. The climb back up can be quite demanding, so it’s not ideal for the elderly or anyone with knee or leg pain. There are public toilets and plenty of parking spaces (both in front and behind the site). There's a few souvenir shops and sell local tangerines (Oct). This place is definitely worth a visit. It's a beautiful spot with dramatic views of the ocean and waterfall. Not at all strenuous for most visitors.

Very beautiful waterfall that cascades into the ocean. Lots of tourist visit this place and it was a little crowded when we visited so you have to be careful and patient when on the slippery rocky shore. There are many steps down and up from the clifside entry so wear good shoes.

We visited the waterfall on November 17th and it was breathtaking. Highly recommended if you’re in Seogwipo. Lots of free parking and stores selling drinks and snacks. The rocks are quite slippery so do be careful.

A lovely place, definitely worth a visit! The entrance fee is only $1.50. Just be careful — the rocks near the viewpoint at the bottom of the waterfall can be quite slippery, and it’s easy to twist an ankle if you fall.

A sight to behold as the waterfalls dive directly into the sea. Not the tallest nor the b8ggest waterfalls. Yet, this uniqueness of water falling directly into the sea has it's own charm!

Small price for entry, local vendors selling tangerines and tangerine products. They are so sweet and the tangerines were also sweet. Well maintained waterfall. Was difficult to get to a good photographic spot so make sure you wear trainers.

Very beautiful reserve with gorgeous volcanic formations to see. If you are patient and quite, you will also see some beautiful butterflies and some birds. I recommend coming here with a tour guide to get the most of it .

Ive been waiting to see this type of hexigonal rock formation for all of my life and I was glad that I got to see them on Jeju Island. The area was a bit crowded when we visited but it was well worth the trip. Entry into the park was around ₩2000 KRW (about $1.50 USD) and very well taken care of. Meticulously clean and very easy to walk. Be sure to grab a cup of the famous fresh Jeju Orange juice that is sold by the vendors before your viewing.

The Jusangjeolli Cliff (주상절리대) on Jeju Island is an absolutely breathtaking natural wonder and one of the island’s most iconic sights. This UNESCO-designated geological formation features perfectly hexagonal basalt columns created by volcanic lava cooling rapidly when it met the sea, forming a striking geometric pattern that stretches along the coastline. The cliffs drop dramatically into the turquoise waters of the Korea Strait, and the waves crashing against the rocks create a mesmerizing display of natural power and beauty. There’s a well-maintained viewing platform and walking paths that allow you to safely explore the area, take stunning photos, and fully appreciate the scale and symmetry of the formations. Nearby, there’s a small visitor center with informative displays about the geology and formation of the cliffs. The site is very accessible, with ample parking and clear signage, making it easy for families, solo travelers, and nature lovers to visit. The experience is enhanced during high tide or when the waves are stronger, producing dramatic sprays against the rock columns. While it can get crowded during peak tourist season, the sheer beauty and uniqueness of the cliffs make it absolutely worth a visit. Overall, Jusangjeolli Cliff is a must-see destination on Jeju Island for anyone who loves stunning landscapes, geology, and the raw power of nature.

A very beautiful and mesmerising place to visit in Jeju. The closely aligned stones were the result of volcanic remains over thousands of years ago. Many visitors from local and foreign tourists were here during the summer. It was also windy with sticky air felt through my skin.

Absolutely beautiful during sunset. Free to park your car. Small entry fee with clean toilets at the car park. Lovely scenic trail to follow if you have time.

Beautiful place to visit on a good weather day, Jusangjeolli Cliff is a unique coastal spot on Jeju, with tall, hexagon-shaped rock columns formed by lava hitting the sea. It looks like a giant stone puzzle and is especially striking when waves crash against it. The area has safe paths and viewing decks, making it easy to explore and take photos. It’s a quick stop that’s perfect for nature lovers. Visit early or late for the best light and fewer people. A must-see natural wonder on the island!

Yongmeori coast was better. This was still beautiful, but it felt kind of rushed. It was crowded and the walkways are narrow, full of people trying to take selfies. If you can get there when it's not busy, I'm sure it's a lot better.

There are two waterfalls in the area with very similar names. Cheongjeyeon Waterfalls was easy to find using the GPS. Admission was KRW5000 for two. There are 3 waterfalls. Waterfall No. 1 was dry and not flowing when we were there in October. You may want to skip it unless in heavy rainy season. Waterfall No. 2 was the best and most picturesque. It also required the least amount of walking. Waterfall No. 3 is the lowest one and requires some hiking with steep stairs. It turned out to be a bit of a disappointment after all that walking.

Adult entry is 2,500₩ and parking is free. The attraction features three waterfalls, which might appeal if you’re a waterfall fan, but personally I didn’t find them impressive. The first waterfall only flows after heavy rain, so it was a letdown. There are many steps for the second and especially the third waterfall — and remember, every step you go down is a step you’ll have to climb back up. The second waterfall is the most impressive of the three. The third requires the most effort and turns out to be the smallest. Between the second and third waterfalls, there’s an uphill bridge leading to a small temple area; level two of the temple space is quite calming. After that, you return via the same bridge toward the third waterfall, which felt underwhelming after all the climbing. The board says the whole route takes about 30 minutes, but with all three waterfalls, the bridge, and the temple space, I took around 45 minutes.

There’s a nice little hike from the parking lot across the bridge to the starting point of the falls. We only visited fall #2 as time didn’t permit to visit the other two. It’s a long stairway to reach the falls but worth it! So serene and beautiful. It was not crowded at all.

Beautiful hike in Jeju. There are 3 nice waterfalls, accessible by stairs. There are water in the first waterfall only after heavy rain. About 230 stairs to the third waterfall. There’s also a nice bridge and a beautiful temple with a great view. Free parking lot. Entrance fee 2500 krw for adult.

If you are around, probably could drop by. There is nothing much accept for the waterfall. Tickets are 2,500 won per pax.

There’s no hike involved to get to the waterfall, just a short 10-15 minute walk. It definitely suitable for the elderly or children in this regard. You would spend about an hour here, not much else to do besides view the waterfall and peruse the gift stores and maybe have a drink/snack. You cannot swim in the waterfall. Tickets are 1000KRW pp.

It's a nice waterfall with blue turquoise waters. The walk between the 3 sections of the waterfall was pretty far. When we went in end June, there was no water on the topmost level. Nice little hike but I expected a little more given the prior majestic views of the Jeongbang waterfall.

Went there on a rainy day as it was one of the few indoor activities you can do in Jeju. Not the best aquarium in Asia, it is quite small and most animals on exhibit are quite common. However, I did enjoy the atmosphere and the vibe of it. It is a good place to visit if the island is raining, but don't expect to see a big aquarium with many exotic animals. The highlight of this place is probably the show. I appreciate that they didn't use animals in the show anymore (apart from one sea lion at the very end). The main show were played by what looked like were former athletes and it was amazing. There was also a heart-warming story to it. There are like 4 shows a day, so you won't miss it. There was still parking even though it looked like the most busy day ever.

Wonderful few hours can be spent here mesmerised by the fishes, especially the large shark tank towards the end, and the sensory area with all the goldfish. The show was really engaging for all ages. Plenty of distractions along the way with play features, snacks. Definitely recommend to visit. Suggest more information (in English) about fish species. We used our Google lens a lot to find out about different ones.or for translating.

Aqua Planet Jeju, located on the picturesque Jeju Island, is touted as one of Asia's largest aquariums, offering an extensive and immersive marine experience. It's significantly larger than its counterparts in Seoul, boasting a vast exhibition space with over 48,000 marine creatures from 500 different species. Highlights include the impressive main tank, housing thousands of fish, sharks, and rays, and a captivating underwater tunnel that provides a 360-degree view of marine life. Visitors also rave about the Ocean Arena shows, featuring dynamic synchronized swimming and acrobatic performances, often including sea lions and dolphins. The Haenyeo diving performance, paying tribute to Jeju's iconic female divers, is another cultural highlight. Aqua Planet Jeju is consistently praised for its clean and well-maintained displays, offering both entertainment and educational value for all ages, making it ideal for families. While it's primarily an indoor attraction, providing a great option for rainy days, its location near Seongsan Ilchulbong and Seopjikoji allows for beautiful outdoor photo opportunities as well. Tickets for foreigners typically start around SGD 40-50, with combo options available that include the Ocean Arena show and special exhibitions. Many recommend purchasing tickets in advance and noting that certain offers are exclusive to non-Koreans. It's considered a worthwhile visit for marine enthusiasts and anyone seeking a captivating and educational experience on Jeju Island.

Aqua Planet is a place which you should visit. The design and architecture they have here are just unique. The way they shaped their aquarium is specially in a way you can watch and interact with these animals.

Lovely place to visit. The aquarium is quite impressive with lots of sea creatures to look at. The place is clean and well-maintained. The scenery behind the aquarium is beautiful too. We took a walk there and saw women divers at work. Highly recommended.

Thr best aquarium I've ever been to my whole life, the giant fish tub was the best they offered

It was a beautiful aquarium, i think they really cared about the animal environment, the seals looked really happy and got a lot of room to swim. The only thing i missed was jellyfish, but everything else is there and very well made, especially the main tank which was breathtaking 🤯

Kitty and I were on a cycling adventure around Jeju Island, and Soesokkak was one of our must-see stops. It was along the route for our "bike passport" which is a fun way to collect stamps at different spots around the island. We were excited to see that near the passport booth, there was a whole area dedicated to activities like kayaking and traditional boat rides. We decided to spend some time there, relaxing a_nd enjoying these activities. Soesokkak is a beautiful natural estuary located in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, South Korea. It's a popular tourist destination known for its scenic beauty and unique geological formations.  The volcanic landscape is simply stunning, with dramatic rock formations, lush vegetation, and a peaceful stream flowing into the ocean. We were particularly captivated by the traditional Jeju boat rides, called "Teu." It was a unique and relaxing experience to glide across the estuary on a traditional boat.  The boatman was incredibly friendly and gave us a fascinating introduction to the area, adding to the enjoyment of the experience.  He even threw mandarin oranges to those standing on the cliff, which offered a fantastic view.  We also enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere, which was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. We had to hunt around a bit to find the ticketing booth, and it was a little tricky communicating with the staff as they didn't understand English very well. We even asked if we could store our bikes while we were out on the water, but they weren't familiar with our tri-fold bikes and declined. Luckily, we met some friendly Koreans who had lived in Canada, and they helped us communicate with the staff. The activities cost 20,000 won for us for a 20-minute ride on the Teu. After buying our tickets, we cycled for about 1 minutes to the designated starting point and waited for our time slot. While waiting, we browsed a nearby shop selling souvenirs and mandarin oranges, a great way to support local vendors and pick up a little something to remember our trip. The Teu Ride itself was truly relaxing, and the views were astonishing. Even though it was a bit chilly, with the temperature around 13 degrees, everything felt so nice. The scenery was just breathtaking, and the activity itself was a great way to unwind. They also have informative signage with details about the area and activities, including clear instructions for kayakers in Korean, English, and Chinese. Soesokkak offers a variety of activities, such as kayaking and water biking, which would be a great way to explore the estuary further. The surrounding tangerine orchards added to the beauty of the area, and we loved the fresh scent of citrus in the air. We highly recommend Soesokkak to anyone visiting Jeju Island. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of the island and enjoy a relaxing and memorable experience. We're giving this spot 4 out of 5 stars for its beauty and the nice activities on offer.

You can ride a kayak. You can ride alone or together.(1~2people) its 10,000won per person. You can enjoy it for about 20 minutes. There are parking lots, too. I reccomand you to make a reservation.

Soesokkak estuary is a gorgeous natural spot known for its vibrant blue and turquoise waters that sparkle beautifully in the sunlight. It’s an ideal place for canoeing and kayaking, offering calm, clear waters surrounded by stunning scenery. The walking trails nearby provide a peaceful and scenic route, perfect for enjoying a relaxing stroll. Visitors will appreciate the ample free parking and clean restroom facilities, making it convenient for families and groups. Whether looking for outdoor adventure or a quiet nature walk, Soesokkak is highly recommended as a must-visit destination on Jeju Island. There's also convenience stores nearby that sell orange juice and ice cream!

We didn’t take the boat or kayak experience. Was on the way to lunch so brought kids to stop by the black beach… nice windy weather and cool space for kids to run around or play with rocks/pebbles

My first time kayaking haha. You can ride alone or in pair. It costs 10,000 won/person for 20 minutes. Even if you don't want to do kayaking but still want to enjoy the place, you can ride the boat

Beautiful scenery with cooling breeze under the trees shadow

A nice short kayak tour of 20 minutes. The course it's quite easy and anyone can do it. You can also join the group traditional boat. Take it easy and go slowly. There are birds and nice photo spots along the course. Recommended if you are in the area. The whole area can also be seen from some points along the road.

Visiting Oedolgae was a very enjoyable experience. I walked there from central Seogwipo and was able to experience everything the trails had to offer while being “one with nature.” The views are incredible and everyone around me was really nice. Everyone took turns equally while getting pictures and were respectful with each-other. After enjoying the main attraction for a while, I walked around the conjoining park area for a bit and was able to see even more fantastic views all alone.

This was one our few sunny days in our October trip. We got some beautiful shots of Oedolgae and the surrounding coast. I would definitely suggest adding this site to your Jeju itinerary. There are 2 parking lots. The first one charges KRW2000. The second one is free.

Was there for a nice walk autumn turning winter. Very nice place to chill out and enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the rock formation. That's all about this place.

Oedolgae Rock is a very unique and impressive creation of Mother Nature. It is also known as Janggunseok Rock. According to a local legend, an old woman was transformed into this rock after waiting in vain for her husband to return from a fishing trip. This huge piece of rock, about 20m high and 10m in circumference, stands majestically in the sea near the coast. It is estimated to be about 1.5 million years old now. It is one of the must-visit attractions in Jeju island. Entrance is free of charge. It is accessible by public buses.

Beautiful walk but when we went the natural pools were closed

Amazing views. They have limited free parking, so pay the 2,000KRW is totally worth it

Impressive landscape. It's not just the rock stack, you can walk further along the coast on a well-kept path and there are beautiful views.

It's definitely not a place you spend hours at, but so fun to take pictures! And the go-kart outside was fun too!

Very fun museum for young children. All the pictures are interactive. A trip takes just over 1 hour. If you go to he go-karting, it takes up to 2 hours.

I’m so happy to start my Jeju trip at “Alive Museum Jeju.” The photos came out so realistic and fun, making the whole experience even better. I highly recommend it! And the pretty female employee on the ticket is so kind. Thank you.

It was a rainy day in Jeju so I decided to come here with my family and it was a lot of fun! It was not very crowded, and it had many of these types of optical illusions. It was a lot of fun if you're into posing and running around to each section to have your photo taken. I would recommend it!

Much less crowded than before, but makes the whole experience much more fun!!! We had lots of fun with the family, young and old!

Very fun place with all the trick eye areas to take many pictures for the memories. They provide suggesting shoot at the side for your references. Fun for the family, couples and friends outing place. Going earlier is better to avoid the crowd.

Went here expecting to take a few fun photos and kill 30 minutes on a rainy day. We had a blast though! It was way bigger than I was expecting. It would be really fun with kids, too. Towards the end there were also some gift shops and a cafe.

A truly peaceful and serene place. Yakcheonsa Temple is not only beautiful in its architecture, but also offers a calming atmosphere that's perfect for reflection and quiet walks. You can really feel a sense of tranquility as soon as you step onto the grounds. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Jeju. Buddha birthday coming soon!

This is a stunning temple. One of my favorites from the whole trip. I recommend visiting with a tour guide. We were there during some chanting and it was sa magical experience

We visited at least one shrine or temple in every destination. Yakcheonsa was our choice for Jeju Island. It is very pretty. Tip 1: We used the GPS and parked about a 5-minute walk too early at the Jagwangwon Temple. Just keep driving until you get to the point where you can no longer drive to be closest to Yakcheonsa. Tip 2: After exploring the temple, climb the stairs on the right towards the stone pagoda and take the trail on the left to the Dharma Hall Cave grotto. I think many people miss this.

The largest temple in Asia, and worth taking your time to appreciate. The architecture is stunning, with every part of the building intricately painted — you can really see the effort that went into it. Photos aren’t allowed inside the main hall, and you’ll need to remove your shoes before entering. Don’t miss the second level, where you’ll find 80,000 miniature Buddha figures.

Beautiful temple and intricate detailing to their structure. Peaceful scenery. Not too much explore There is a small ‘cave’ at the back of temple, number ‘2’ on their map

Huge Buddhist temple, very beautiful and impressive. There is a huge area to walk around even if youre not here to pray. Highly recommended.

Definitely add this if you want to avoid the big crowds. Very serene with beautiful views of the coast

It’s a “okay” local/tourist market, not really worth to pay a visit to be honest. They mainly sell souvenir gift set, fruits, dry fish, vegetable and some “street food”. As a tourist if I purposely to a place, I would expect a little bit more. But since I’m with young child and my mother, they’re not a scenery type of traveler and also time we’re very limited as we travel by cruise line, So we just picked a close local market and expect to do some snacking of street food and can do a little bit of shopping. The food there looks nice, but you can tell because of the number of people there they aren’t that fresh. As a souvenir if your next step allows you to bring along fruit, I think they have very nice orange there grow in Jeju. But too bad we were not in the season so we can only get the juice. It’s all right, but not a must visit. I think there is a bigger one on the northern side and scenery is awesome even on a simple road side. Should have gone to some famous scenery instead.

Great spot to explore and try a wide variety of local foods. The market has an amazing mix of street food, snacks, and small stalls offering everything from traditional Jeju specialties to freshly made desserts and drinks. The atmosphere is lively and full of great smells everywhere you turn. There are plenty of options for all tastes, whether you’re into seafood, meat skewers, or sweet treats. Prices are reasonable, and you can easily make a fun meal out of sampling different stalls. A must-visit place in Seogwipo if you want to experience authentic Jeju flavors and a warm, bustling market vibe.

If you ever find yourself on Jeju Island and are craving a taste of local life — from everyday produce to tourist-friendly snacks — Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is a must-visit. This is my honest take after walking through its covered lanes, sampling its street food, and breathing in its lively atmosphere. From the moment you step in, the market hits you with color and noise — tanks of fresh seafood, baskets overflowing with tangerines and vegetables, chunks of black pork waiting to be grilled, and street-food stalls filling the air with sizzling, sweet, savory aromas.  There are dozens of small shops and vendors selling everything: fresh produce and seafood, daily-use goods and souvenirs, handmade snacks and ready meals.  The layout is pretty manageable — it’s large enough to feel like a full market, but small enough that you won’t get lost. Many visitors note it’s “easier to navigate” than the busier or more sprawling markets elsewhere.  There are long benches set up for people to sit and enjoy what they bought — which I found really convenient when I bought a few street-food bites and just wanted to chill for a bit.  Evenings are when the market feels most alive. As the sun sets, people — locals and travelers alike — flock here for snacks, seafood, grilled meats, and more. The blend of local flavor, hustle and bustle, and occasional tourist-friendly stalls gives the place a warm, energetic vibe without being chaotic.  That said — it’s not all perfect. I did notice that, especially at the more tourist-oriented stalls, some portions felt a bit overpriced relative to size or quality. One report, for instance, claimed a squid dish was underwhelming for the price when ordered as takeout.  And if you come too early in the morning, many of the shops may still be closed — the full market vibe truly builds later in the day.  Overall: I’d say Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is a must-visit for anyone wanting a slice of Jeju culture — especially if you love street food, local produce, or just the energy of a bustling traditional market. Great for sampling snacks, grabbing fresh fruit or seafood, picking up souvenirs, or just wandering around. If I go back to Jeju, I’ll be heading there again — but with slightly tempered expectations, especially at the tourist-heavy stalls.

A bustling market full of energy, street food aromas, and a lively mix of young locals and tourists. There’s so much to see, taste, and buy. It's definitely worth a visit if you want a true slice of Jeju life. Highly recommend picking up some dried cuttlefish (for cooking) here — around ₩10,000 for 2–3 pieces, depending on size. One of the best-value finds in the market! We entered and park in the car park. Free parking avail at the carpark when we got there. A must-try local specialty are the tangerine mochi and tangerines. We like it so much we went twice and bought double the amount of mochi the second time. It’s filled with half a fresh tangerine, red bean paste, and wrapped in an ultra-soft mochi skin. It's absolutely divine! We also tried the giblets dish at the food court (actually it is pork intestines with rice cakes and mushrooms). It’s cooked teppanyaki-style, and they blow-torch the meat at the end. It had a smoky, rich, and delicious flavour. Picked up some Jeju rice cracker snacks (so tasty!) and also tried the fried abalone gimbap. The flavour was a bit mild, but thankfully it came with a dipping sauce. A vibrant, flavour-filled experience perfect for food lovers and anyone wanting to explore Jeju’s local scene.

Quite a cozy market. Most shops opens later in the day but many souvenir shops everywhere. Can compare prices btw the different shops for good deals. If u buy more at one shop, they will give u free stuff as well so recommend to shop all the snacks at one shop after u have compare the prices. There are shops with 1+1 as well. The size is quite small so can cover the whole place quickly.

Maeil Olle Market is not large, but nifty, much like Seogwipo which is a small town. I like the ponds which are lined with benches that run the length of the covered main thoroughfare. They sell a lot of oranges in Jeju Island (but not cheap). There were many food stalls. We had dinner at "Jeok Sim".

Wide variety of street food filled on one side, tangerines and souvenir shops on the other side 🤣 My favourite in this market is definitely the black pork bun and the flame grilled boneless chicken feet (I had it 3 times!!).

Nice outdoor experience to walk along sea cliffs at low tide. Good coastal views, crystal clear blue waters at some areas, interesting layered rock formations, occasional rock pools with small fish. Vendors serving live sashimi Abalone and other shellfish, cut and served on the spot.

It takes about 30 minutes to walk around the cliffs and return to the entry point. When I visited, it was very hot and there were so many tourists that I couldn’t take as many photos as I wanted. Still, the viewpoints are very impressive. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Jeju for the first time.

Yongmeori Coast has very special and mesmorising rock formations. Been here twice and both times, I'm still fascinated by the rocks. This time, I entered about 15 minutes before closing time. Opening hours are short due to incoming tides and it had been raining days before this. So I was blessed to be able to visit. Wonders of the Creator. Saw ladies selling fresh shellfish but I doubt my stomach is strong enough. Must have good pair of shoes and legs. Terrain is not elderly friendly. View of Sanbangsan at the opposite side, at some point is good.

The best of all the attractions I’ve been to this round. Entrance fee is 2,000 won. Parking is a little tough when this opens. This attraction doesn’t open often (we had to check every morning and afternoon) as it depends on the wind and waves. It used to open everyday but due to climate change and rising waters, it’s now dependent on daily natural factors. Follow their IG page for updates. Once they declare that it is open I suggest you go! It’s amazing! Ull see the rugged coastline, walk along the coast and even get to taste fresh abalone sold by ajoomas (probably caught by the Hanyeos). Many other attractions such as the waterfalls have been kinda underwhelming but this is really one you need to experience for yourself and just marvel at nature’s forces. Note that the exit has very steep steps.

You have to walk quite a long way along the coast, and wearing Crocs might hurt your ankles! As I walked, I saw haenyeo (female divers) selling fresh seafood, and it brought back memories of my high school trip here 18 years ago. Back then, there were lots of Japanese students and it was much busier! I almost couldn’t visit Yongmeori Coast this time because of the tides, but luckily, everything worked out perfectly. The sunlight was dazzling. -BOFF

One of the best attractions in Jeju in my opinion - beautiful volcanic rock formations, majestic cliffs, ponds with their own biological ecosystem, women divers selling fresh seafood. The starting point has a great view of Sanbangsan mountain. Lots of photo spots, and lots of colors. There's a bay area with unbeatable views. Will come again!

Entrance tickets costs 2000krw. Once you enter, do not uturn, just follow along the paths and it leads you back to the same carpark. This place is subjected to weather conditions and will be closed if it is high tide/bad weather conditions. I was lucky enough to go on a clear day and the views were amazing.

It was an okay place to visit once, but I wouldn’t go back. There’s a small library inside the garden, so if you have a lot of time to spare, it might be a nice spot to relax for a bit. Maybe my expectations were too high since it’s advertised as the biggest indoor garden in Korea, but I didn’t find it particularly eye-catching or memorable. The plants were fairly basic and not as abundant as I expected. Overall, the place could really benefit from better maintenance.

I liked this place, it was peaceful. It's fairly wheelchair accessible - there are pathways which get around the stairs though you sometimes have to go quite a bit further. However some inclines are a bit steep and you can't access a couple of bits e.g. in the Japanese garden

It’s over priced but still worth a visit. The grounds are a bit meh, buy the star attraction is the genuinely impressive glass house. Fabulously well curated and separated into well defined zones, it is meticulously well maintained and really quite beautiful. If you’re dodging the rain (Jeju is often miserably wet) it’s a decent option.

Someone said it’s a perfect spot for a rainy day in Jeju, but it’s wrong!!! Don’t get me wrong, the glasshouse garden was big, impressive and pretty, but the outside garden was prettier. And on the rainy day, you can’t see Hallasan and the views…. I think it will be great to pack lunch on a sunny day and enjoy the beautiful garden all day.

Nice place to visit. A lot of walking required plus up and down hills. The greenhouse is nice but need more signage to identify the trees or flowers there. The Italian garden is nice.

Beautiful gardens and amazingly designed mega-greenhouse, it's a fair entry fee so I'd recommend anyone to come if they're looking for something to do

This is a "don't miss" place. It has both indoors and outdoor gardens. The indoor cactus garden is spectacular.

A little display village of yesteryear. Lots of little huts , some that allows you to walk through and experience real life of the old days . Easy walk with lots of little spots to sit and relax . Has a little zoo with a few animals, rabbits , deer, geese, and pigs. Qwerty codes on all displays that allows you to listen to audio in a few different languages on your phone . Has 2 self-serving 7/11 stores for light refreshments. Overall, it was a nice experience, 8.5/10

I don't normally review places but there is a huge problem with the village, the un aceptable treatment of the animals, came here for a few hours and noticed the animals in captivity. They are poorly kept in small cages/ pens which provide so little space for the animals to roam in. As We walked a skinny rabbit greeted us, practically begging for food so we feed it some grass. In the next few moments we watched as the entire group of rabbits and the 2 geese and all the deer in a seperate cage swiftly move to the gate to be fed as well. Seeing these events unfold we fed more grass to them as they bunched up upon the gate to get a feed. Evidentially shown they must not be feed much at all and you could really see how little they are cared for. Even with all the grass we feed them they still looked extremely hungry, searching for more food, still malnourished. In spite of the fact that they where extremely underfed these animals where being used as profit, signs and arrows directed us to a expensive vending machine holding a small bag of carrots. These animals are promoted as part of the 'experience' but there purpose is to be solely used as a a additional source of Bx one to the already expensive entry fee allowing for the greedy, unbothered owners to continue to profit of the poor, undeserving animals. I really hope the workers and management provide all the animals with the right, humane treatment but as I looked through the over review it is prevalent that the lack of care and treatment for the animals has been ongoing for many years. To anyone reading this should know they are paying the expensive entry fee to allow for these animals to continue to live this horrid life. Ask yourself, would I like to live my entire life trapped in a pen, malnourished and provided with so little care? We should be the voices to for the animals that are unable to speak up for themselves and not gifted with the pleasure of freedom. I hope you can look beyond the tourist scheme and change your mind when thinking of visiting this 'village' Shame on the people who run this place and ignore there wrongdoing.

Don't waste your $. About 50 stone houses with thatched roofs. Same, same, but different signs, different sizes. Maybe for Koreans, but a rip for foreign tourists. I asked for my $ back, and got it without sn argument.

Nice place to explore. Have replicas of old Jeju village houses and shows how the people used to live. They have a small animal feeding area for kids. Quite educational but young kids might get bored after a while.

Go for the experience. It's not worth while if you are making a long way here though. Tickets are at 15,000 won. Seen alot of tour buses here.

I loved it, but honestly at one point you've seen it and it becomes quite repetitive. And you kind of have to follow the road. Funny to see 7/11's in the folk village though 😅.

Pretty amazing well preserved traditional houses and villages display on Jeju. I have recently watched some part of the KTV show called "When life gives you tangerine" which is based on life in Jeju so it's very cool to see these houses in real life. Turned out the Dae Jang Geum tv show that I saw more than 20 years ago also filmed at this location! I can see why people are crazy about following filming locations of their favourite show, cause it's pretty cool to see the real things! You can rent Hanbok to wear while walking around in the village and take photos. There is also a mini zoo on site where you can feed some animals with vegetables. There are some cafes and restaurants on the main market street for drinks and snacks as well. Overall, pretty interesting places and got some fun activities to do.
