Enjoying Nature in Korean Hawaii: A Week on Jeju Island

Hosted by

Elizaveta

Guided trip
Hi there! If you're tired of big city noise and rush as much as I am, here is a great opportunity to go away from everyone and enjoy the sea, beaches, mountains, and waterfalls for a whole week on the famous Korean paradise island! About me: I'm Lisa, 20 years old, studying in Seoul since September last year and exploring the country in my free time. I speak intermediate Korean and am familiar with cultural and historical aspects, so it will be a big pleasure to share my knowledge and experience:) About trip: Jeju Island, a part of the World Natural Heritage Site, is a very unique place, as it was formed after a volcano eruption. For this reason, the island is famous for its incredibly beautiful and scenic spots! On our trip, we will be staying in two different parts of the island, Seongsan and Jungmun (eastern and southern areas), riding bicycles, climbing Hallasan (shield volcano mountain), and walking a lot! Therefore, I'd prefer to travel with buddies who enjoy active holidays and are very fond of nature. But don't worry, we'll also have enough time to chill and enjoy Korean esthetic cafes and special island food, such as black pork barbeque and lots of seafood! Note: the weather will be warm and pleasant, but the water temperature is too cold to swim in May! What is included? - 7 nights accommodation in a shared room (breakfast included) - Entrance tickets to Seongsan Ilchulbong, Jeongbangpokpo Falls - Round-trip ferry ticket to Udo Island and bike rental What is not included? - Flight tickets - Transportation costs - Personal expenses I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and spending a great time together! Let me show you the natural side of Korea :)
