1,100 Altitude Wetland (on Mount Hallasan)
Experience the majestic beauty of Mount Hallasan without the challenge of a strenuous all-day trek. Located at 1,100 meters above sea level, this hidden gem is the highest point in Jeju accessible by vehicle, making it the perfect "easy hiking" destination for everyone.
You will walk along a beautifully maintained, flat wooden boardwalk that loops through the protected 1,100 Altitude Wetland—a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and Ramsar Wetland. This unique subalpine ecosystem is home to rare plants, wildlife, and distinct landscapes that change dramatically with each season.
As you stroll through the clouds and breathe in the crisp, pristine mountain air, your local guide will share fascinating stories about the formation of Mount Hallasan and Jeju’s volcanic history. It is a peaceful, scenic 20-to-30-minute walk that offers panoramic mountain views with absolutely no steep climbing required.
O’sulloc Tea Museum & Green Tea Fields
Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Jeju’s premium tea culture. Located amidst vast, rolling green tea fields, the O’sulloc Tea Museum is one of the island’s most iconic and photogenic spots. Stroll through the endless rows of vibrant green tea bushes for unforgettable photos, and learn about Jeju’s unique volcanic tea heritage. Afterward, treat yourself to their world-famous matcha ice cream and organic lattes at the indoor café.
Lunch
Yongmeori Coast
Prepare to be amazed by Yongmeori Coast, where magnificent sandstone cliffs look like a dragon’s head diving into the ocean. Walking along the rocky shore, you will marvel at dramatic, layered geological formations shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity and wave erosion. It is widely considered one of Jeju's most spectacular natural wonders and a paradise for photography lovers.
Jusangjeolli Cliff
Marvel at the striking, hexagon-shaped stone pillars of Jusangjeolli Cliff, a true masterpiece of nature. These towering volcanic columns were formed thousands of years ago when glowing lava from Mount Hallasan rapidly cooled and contracted as it crashed into the ocean. Watching the powerful, deep-blue waves of Jeju smash against these perfectly geometric black stone pillars is an unforgettable, mesmerizing sight.
Seogwipo Olle Market
Dive into the vibrant local lifestyle at Seogwipo Olle Market, the largest and most famous traditional market in southern Jeju. It is a bustling food lover's paradise, filled with friendly vendors and mouth-watering aromas. Stroll through the lively covered colorful aisles to sample Jeju’s iconic street food, shop for unique local souvenirs, and experience the warm hospitality of the island.

“Chanie is a total delight”
All four of us thought Chanie was the highlight of the day. His experience of Jeju and information about the island was only exceeded by his great personality and command of the English language. While Jeju is beautiful and wonderful our lasting memory is of the person. He brought so much more than the building or the beautiful site; he brought his wisdom, cultural stories and insights into life in South Korea. A beautiful human being to know and as a tour guide he carry’s my highest recommendation.

“Terrific day on Jeju Island with Chanie”
We are in our 70s, and we were on day 20 of iur cruise. We wanted to have a relaxing and easy-going day, yet still see some of the main highlights. Channie was wonderful in setting an easy pace. We started along the shore road, seeing Gimnyeong Beach and then stopped for coffee. We then went to Sunrise Peak, which was amazing. Then to an old village which remains a working village. We enjoyed a terrific day and highly recommend Chanie for a tour in Jeju. J&T
