A Detailed Look at the 3-Day Jeju Tour

Day 1: Volcanoes, Caves, and Coastal Beauty

Manjanggul Lava Tube marks the start of this adventure. It’s one of Jeju’s most famous UNESCO sites, a sprawling lava tunnel that feels like stepping into a subterranean world. Walking through its cool, echoing chambers, you’ll see dramatic lava formations and giant rock pillars—standing inside it, we felt like explorers in an ancient, fiery underground cathedral. The cave’s year-round temperature of 11-21°C means it’s always open, no matter the season, making it a reliable start to your trip. It’s worth noting that admission isn’t included, so budget around $20 per person.

Next, you’ll visit Woljeongri Beach, with its pristine white sands and emerald waters. Unlike busy tourist beaches, Woljeongri offers a peaceful, scenic stop, especially with its quaint tea houses and coffee shops lining the coast. It’s a perfect spot for a leisurely walk and some photos, and best of all, it’s free.

The afternoon is dedicated to Seongsan Ilchulbong, a tuff cone formed 5,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption. Here, the views are extraordinary, especially at sunrise, but even in the afternoon, the crater’s symmetry and the surrounding ocean make it a photographer’s dream. You can also hike the trails leading to local villages and watch haenyeo, Jeju’s legendary women divers, at Seongsanpo Port—an authentic slice of local culture.

Cap off the day at Seopjikoji, a dramatic cliff formation with panoramic views. The curves of the coastline, the lighthouse, and the nearby Yumin Art Gallery all make for memorable photo ops. If you’re lucky, you might spot Jeju ponies grazing in the fields—a charming sight.

Finally, a visit to Seongeup Folk Village offers a glimpse into traditional Jeju life. Unlike typical folk villages, residents still live here, with volunteer guides eager to share stories about old Jeju customs. Seeing the ancient saw-leaf zelkova and Japanese hackberry trees roots the experience in real, lived heritage.

The day ends at Sangumburi Crater, a maar-type volcano with a circular rim and a crater floor that’s stunning when colored by autumn’s silvergrass. The size and depth of Sangumburi are impressive, and it’s a quiet spot for reflection after a busy day.

Day 2: Beaches, Windmills, and Cultural Insights

Hyeopjae Beach is a highlight—its white sands and shell powder are soothing, and the view of Biyangdo Island just offshore makes it one of Jeju’s most photogenic beaches. Its shallow, gentle waters are perfect for families or anyone wanting to relax by the sea.

Next, the Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road offers a scenic drive lined with white wind turbines and views of the ocean. It’s a lovely place to pause and appreciate Jeju’s efforts in sustainable energy, plus the sunset views here are spectacular—perfect for photographers and sunset lovers alike.

Yongmeori Coast, shaped like a dragon’s head, is a geological marvel. The layered sandstone formations tell stories of millions of years of volcanic activity and erosion. The Hamel Monument here honors Dutch explorer Hendrick Hamel, adding a touch of historical curiosity to the natural beauty.

A visit to the Osulloc Tea Museum introduces you to Korea’s tea culture. You can walk through lush tea fields, learn about traditional tea-making, and sample a variety of teas in a modern, peaceful setting—refreshing both body and mind.

The Handam Coastal Trail is an easy, scenic walk along the coastline, offering views of Jeju’s rugged coastlines and the chance to relax amid nature. It’s an excellent way to end the day, especially if you enjoy a quiet stroll.

Suwolbong Peak offers panoramic views from a volcanic cone. The legend of Nokdumul adds a cultural layer, making the scenic overlook more meaningful. You might spend some time binoculars in hand, spotting nearby islands and other volcanic features.

Day 3: Quirky Sights, Waterfalls, and Coastal Landmarks

Dokkaebi Road, or Mysterious Road, is a fun stop—a classic optical illusion where cars seem to defy gravity, rolling uphill when parked. It’s a quirky feature that will delight kids and adults alike, perfect for some light-hearted photos.

Eoseungsaengak Trail is a short, relatively easy hike to a parasitic volcano of Hallasan. The trail’s wooden stairs and legends about the “king’s horse” make it a charming nature experience, especially if you enjoy mixing stories with scenic walks.

Jusangjeolli Cliff showcases towering hexagonal rock pillars formed during volcanic activity. Standing on the cliff edge, we found ourselves marveling at nature’s geometric artistry, though it’s worth noting that entry fees apply.

Oedolgae, or Grandma Rock, is a striking sea stack with stories of ancient warriors and legends. Its dramatic silhouette against the sea makes it a must-see for lovers of natural sculptures and ocean vistas.

Jeongbang Waterfall, one of Jeju’s iconic waterfalls, crashes directly into the sea from a 23-meter-high cliff. It’s accessible, scenic, and a great spot for photos—plus, nearby art galleries and markets offer cultural insights and local souvenirs.

Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is perfect for sampling local foods, buying souvenirs, or just soaking in the lively market atmosphere. It’s practical and authentic—a real window into Jeju’s daily life.

Finally, Camellia Hill offers a lush, floral escape. With thousands of camellia trees and seasonal blooms, it’s a peaceful spot to unwind and enjoy the island’s plant diversity.
