Where to go here
Tap a name to run it through search
Seongsan Ilchulbong
성산일출봉
A crater that rose straight out of the sea, and you can walk up it.
See in search →Must do
It is about an hour up and back. Going at sunrise lives up to the name, but you will not be alone.
Hallasan
한라산
The highest mountain in South Korea, with only two routes to the summit.
See in search →Must do
The Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa trails have entry cut-off times and require a reservation. Budget 8–9 hours and start before dawn.
Udo Island
우도
Fifteen minutes by ferry from Seongsan, and small enough to cycle around.
See in search →Must do
Ferry times change by season and sailings are cancelled in strong wind. Check the last departure before you go over.
Hyeopjae Beach
협재해변
The west-coast beach where the water actually turns emerald.
See in search →Must do
At low tide a wide sandbar opens toward Biyangdo. Check the tide table and you get a completely different beach.
Insider's note
On buses alone you will manage two or three stops a day. With an international driving permit a rental car is close to essential; without one, use a taxi tour or split your stay between the east and west of the island.
