Is Jeju Island worth visiting in 2025?
Image Credits: Qantas
Absolutely. Jeju remains one of South Korea’s most iconic holiday destinations. With its unique UNESCO-listed lava tubes, Hallasan (South Korea’s highest mountain), stunning coastlines, and rich local culture, Jeju is a must-visit for any Korea itinerary.
But with all good things, they need to be protected. While the influx of tourists has helped the tourism sector, it has also resulted in a huge overload of garbage and sewage — a huge bane for such a pristine island. This is why the local Jeju authorities are looking to impose tourism fees.
Best Things To Do In Jeju (2025): 4-Day Itinerary + Travel Tips —
Breakdown of Jeju Island’s proposed tourism fees
| Proposed Fees | |
|---|---|
| Daily fee | 8,170 KRW (~S$7.46 per visitor) |
| Accommodation fee | 1,500 KRW (~S$1.37) per night for tourists |
| Car rental | 1,500 KRW (~S$1.37) per night for tourists |
| Minivan rental | 10,000 KRW (~S$9.13) per day |
| Bus rental | 5% of the rental fee |
For a 4-day trip with accommodation and car rental, you can expect to pay around 38,000 KRW (~S$34.69) in sustainability fees.
While still affordable, this small contribution will go toward environmental protection, waste management, and infrastructure upkeep across Jeju Island.
❗️ Pro tip: These fees are not yet in effect as of April 2025, but it’s smart to stay updated before your trip.

A humble eatery beloved by locals and visitors alike, there’s no better way to start off your Jeju adventure with a bowl of piping hot pork noodle soup at Ollae Guksu. A Jeju speciality made with rich broth and handmade noodles, it’s perfect for a hearty breakfast or light lunch..
We love that it’s a popular local spot, giving you a glimpse into what an authentic Jeju experience would look like.

3. Gyulhangi Experience Farm
Image credits: Korea.net
When in Jeju, a hallabong-picking experience is a must. Hallabongs are special tangerines that grow near Hallasan Mountain and have almost become synonymous with the island. While you’re likely to find a variety of hallabong farms peppered around the island, we’d recommend the Gyulhangi Experience Farm, which is close to the airport.
Expect warm hospitality from the ajummas who run the farm, and some of the sweetest pickings at an affordable price. It costs approximately 7,000 KRW (~S$6.39) for 1KG of tangerines with no time limit.
After the experience, you’ll also be treated to a variety of tangerine snacks, which we think is great value for money!

4. Majungmul Samgyetang (마중물삼계탕)
Image credits: Korean Bapsang
When in South Korea, we always recommend scarfing down as much Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) as you can! This local favourite is slow-cooked for hours, resulting in tender chicken and a deeply nourishing broth. It’s particularly popular during colder months.
Not to be missed are the samgyetang (duh) and the kimchi jjigae for a delicious and authentic Korean feast.

Day 2: South Jeju
6. Hallasan National Park
Image credits: Visit Jeju
Make sure you’re all rested, as you’ll be up bright and early for a hike up to the iconic Hallasan Mountain. Located within Hallasan National Park, Hallasan Mountain is actually a dormant volcano!
While there are four trails for you to choose from, we would highly recommend summiting for stunning views of the island. For something that’s a little more manageable but is sure to work up a sweat, take on the Seongpanak Trail. This is about 7-9 hours long and is about 9.6KM one-way.
A local favourite is to take the Gwaneumsa trail back down (this is the tougher trail), which gives you a chance to enjoy the fantastic views of Gwaneumsa while descending.
❗ Reservations are required for summit hikes, so plan ahead

After a long day of hiking, you have the option to check out one of the most iconic indoor markets in Jeju. Established in the 1960s, Seogwipo Olle Market is a popular tourist spot that sells a variety of fresh seasonal produce, seafood, and other household products.

We know it’s a pretty tall order to do another round of food after visiting the Seogwipo Olle Market, but hear us out: You’re only here for a short amount of time. This is why we’ve made sure you clocked in enough steps so that you can work up an appetite!
Jeju’s black pork is prized for its unique flavour and juicy texture. Enjoy it grilled over charcoal at this speciality restaurant where it’s served with side dishes like kimchi, ssamjang, and fresh greens for wrapping. Don’t miss the pork belly cut — it’s a crowd favourite.
