Jeju Island, the largest in South Korea, is situated southwest of the Korean Peninsula. The island's distinct local vibe and stunning natural surroundings make it one of the country's most tranquil vacation destinations. Nearly 10% of the island is made up of volcanic lava tubes, which were recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2007. Besides natural wonders like Hallasan National Park, Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, and Manjanggul Lava Tube, Jeju is famous for waterfalls, forests, and parasitic cones.
Designated by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve, and Global Geopark, Jeju is an incredible island of natural wonders. It is home to Korea’s highest peak, Hallasan Mountain, the famous sunrise peak of Seongsan Ilchulbong volcanic mountain, waterfalls, lava tubes, river valleys, and dense forests.
Jeju Island is a foodies’ paradise because of its fresh seafood and local flavors. Feast on specialties like grilled galchi (cutlass fish), sumo-mandarins (called Hallabong), or abalone kimbap, and don't miss out on Jeju black pork, prized by Jeju’s locals.
Unlike other parts of South Korea with a surprisingly cold winter, Jeju Island offers visitors pleasant climate conditions and fresh air throughout the year. Even in the winter, the weather on the island is more moderate than on the mainland, with breathtaking views of snowcapped peaks, making it an ideal time for a peaceful escape.
Jeju Island has something to suit all tastes: numerous trails around Hallasan for hikers, various theme parks for children, scenic cafés for young travelers, gardens and parks for nature lovers, and streets of restaurants with delicacies for foodies.

Foodies to Jeju cannot miss out on its grilled black pork (Heuk-dwaeji). Adapting well to the island’s unique climate and natural characteristics, this black-haired breed of pig is miles ahead of regular pork as it has the best chewiness, fantastic marbling, and a flavor that is meaty and steak-like without being gamy.
