Tour Plan

First, you will go to Hyeopjae Beach. This is beautiful beach with rocks, Jeju-men and an orange juice stand with some amazing homemade sparkling nectar of the gods. You can see Biyang-do from the beach and it helps clear your mind for your work. The view looks like an Emerald colored beach, which is not easy to be found in Korea

If you want to try the largest theme park with various botanical gardens, tons of different birds and flowers and beautiful century- old bonsai trees in Jeju, you have to visit Hallim Park.
This is so big that there are many things to see. You can see a gate and all traditional houses in Jeju and find that each house and gate has meanings depending on wooden sticks positioned.

Or You can choose visit to Manorblanc Jeju, an analogue-sensitive cafe with a pretty garden with a view of the sea. You can see different types of flowers depending on the season.

You will head to Suwol Bong hill designated as a Global GEO park by UNESCO. This walking path meanders along the coastline amidst stunning rock formations and beautiful views of the nearby islands. The palm trees found in the park were first planted in 1971. From that time, in an abandoned sandy field, they have been taken care of and have grown to create this amazing paradise. Suwolbong Peak was formed from a volcanic eruption and many worldwide geologists are interested in this hill

It will be good chance for tea lovers to visit here. If you are interested in traditional tea culture, it’s the best time to have a cup of great tea there ( optional ). This is the largest green tea fields in Jeju. Filling the air with a pleasant aroma, green Tea Museum makes visitors fell free to roam around and sample the tastiness inside the museum.

There is one mountain you can see in Jeju. Mount Sanbang is a very cool dome-shaped lava mountain with a beautiful temple carved into the side about half way up. The 20-minute hike to the temple is well worth it, offering stunning views of the landscape.

You can go to Jeongbang waterfall or Cheonjeyeon Falls. You have to choose one of 2 waterfalls.

In Cheonjeyeon Waterfall, they have three waterfalls. The first is a bit underwhelming because the water actually falls “behind” the rocks so you can’t really see anything

You can go to Jeongbang waterfall or Cheonjeyeon Falls.

Step 1

Pick up from your hotel in Seoul at 08:00am and Head to Suwon in Gyeonggi-do province. First visit to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is an impressive structure from the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty, and the official fortress of Suwon, Gyeonggi-do. Constructed from 1794 to 1796, it was built as a display of King Jeongjo’s filial piety towards his father and to build a new pioneer city with its own economic power.

The fortress wall hosts a great variety of military facilities that are hard to be found anywhere else. During the construction, scholar Jeong Yak-Yong invented ‘Geojunggi,’ which uses a lever to lift up heavy stones, greatly reducing time.

We had a fantastic day exploring the highlights of Jeju-si through a customized private tour that really felt tailored to our interests. The local experiences we encountered were delightful, from tasting fresh seafood at a market to visiting breathtaking natural sites. However, we found the transportation a bit slow at times, which slightly detracted from our overall enjoyment of the best that Jeju has to offer.

Our family loved the chance to explore Jeju-si with a customized itinerary that let us dive into local culture. One highlight was visiting a bustling market where we sampled fresh tangerines and chatted with friendly vendors; it felt so authentic! While the transportation was comfortable, we wished we had more time at some locations to soak in the experiences a bit longer.
