Overview
Jeju Island, often referred to as "Jejudo" or "Cheju Island," is a volcanic island located off the southern coast of South Korea. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it's celebrated for its stunning natural landscapes, including the dormant volcano Hallasan, unique lava tubes, and dramatic coastlines formed by volcanic eruptions. Jeju City, on the northern side of the island, is the capital and a bustling hub, offering a mix of urban attractions and convenient access to the island's many natural wonders.
Jeju Island is a popular cruise port of call for many Asian itineraries. Cruise ships typically dock at the Jeju International Cruise Terminal in Jeju City on the northern coast, which is conveniently located about 2 km from downtown, or at the Seogwipo Gangjeong Cruise Port on the southern coast for larger vessels. Both ports offer terminal facilities including ATMs, Wi-Fi, and tourist information. A visit to Jeju Island provides cruise passengers with an unforgettable experience of South Korea's natural beauty and distinctive culture.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture at Dongmun Market, one of Jeju City's oldest and largest traditional markets. Here you can find a huge variety of fresh seafood, local produce, street food, and souvenirs. It's a fantastic place to taste local delicacies like Jeju Black Pork.
Tip: Go hungry and be ready to sample some delicious street food. It's a lively atmosphere, especially in the evenings.
Just a short distance from Jeju City port, see Yongduam Rock, a striking lava formation that resembles a dragon's head emerging from the sea. This natural monument is a popular spot for photos and a testament to Jeju's volcanic origins.
Tip: The rock is particularly impressive during sunrise or sunset, offering a dramatic silhouette.
Journey underground to explore Manjanggul Lava Tube, one of the longest and best-preserved lava tunnels in the world, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk through a section of this vast tube, marveling at the unique geological formations like stalagmites and lava columns.
Tip: The temperature inside the cave is constant and cool, so bring a light jacket. Wear comfortable shoes as the ground can be uneven.
Experience a truly unique cultural spectacle by watching the Haenyeo (women divers), a community of professional female divers who harvest seafood from the ocean floor without the use of oxygen masks. You can often see their demonstrations, particularly near Seongsan Ilchulbong.
Tip: Check local schedules for Haenyeo performances, often held in the mornings or early afternoons.
Hike to the summit of Seongsan Ilchulbong, an iconic tuff cone crater formed by a volcanic eruption. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, the crater itself, and the surrounding coastline.
Tip: The climb takes about 20-30 minutes and involves stairs. Go early for sunrise if your cruise schedule allows for a truly magical experience.
For a more relaxed experience, visit the O'Sulloc Tea Museum, dedicated to the traditional tea culture of Korea. Explore the museum, learn about tea production, enjoy a tea tasting, and stroll through the beautiful green tea fields.
Tip: Don't miss trying their green tea ice cream or other green tea-infused treats.
