A popular pick among honeymooners, South Korea's largest island offers splendid scenery and natural wonders to explore. Climb the long-dormant Mount Hallasan volcano, or tour the well-kept lava tunnels underground. This unique island is also known for haenyeo, female divers who go 10-20 meters under the water without a breathing apparatus. Get a full taste of Jeju Island's culture by taking a majestic boat tour, and while tasting, save some room for its famous peanut ice cream. With so many distinct sites and customs, Jeju Island is unlike most destinations in Asia, or anywhere in the world!

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Jeju Island, along with a brief description:
♦ Seongsan Ilchulbong
Also known as Sunrise Peak, a good hint for when to go for the most scenic views, Seongsan Ilchulbong was formed by volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. The tuff cone's sphere-shaped crater hovers nearly 600 feet above the ocean, providing access to picturesque sights of Jeju Island. The hike to the top of the summit is steep, but not overly difficult with the help of steps. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-see during your stay at Jeju Island.
♦ Manjanggul Cave
One of the world's largest lava tubes is a popular tourist attraction on Jeju Island. Nearly nine kilometers (5.5 miles) long, Manjanggul Cave traces back hundreds of thousands of years, but the lava formations and columns remain well maintained. Explore the lava stalagmites and stalactites while witnessing cave spiders and bent-wing bats.
♦ Beaches
Jeju Island will feel more like a tropical paradise when exploring its long-running coastline of beautiful beaches. Hyeopjae Beach is a great family-friendly option with gorgeous gardens and views. Located in Juju City, Hamdeok Beach is better-suited for adventurers looking to kayak. Jungmun Beach, meanwhile, is the place to go for surfers looking to catch the best waves. You're unlikely to go wrong with whichever beach you choose!
