Destinations to Discover
Explore places such as Hallasan National Park and Udo Island.
Hallasan National Park
Hallasan National Park is on Jeju island to the south of the South Korean mainland. Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea, standing at 1,950 meters.
Udo Island
Udo Island is a small island off the coast of Jeju Island in South Korea that is quite popular with day-trippers visiting from Jeju.
Gapado
Gapado is an island south of Jeju island and north of Marado Island. It is accessible by ferry. While often overlooked compared to Marado, the island is much flatter and thus visitors can walk right along the coastline and the water rather than high up on a cliff.Chujado
The Chuja Islands are a group of 42 islands in the Jeju Strait, about halfway between Jejudo and the southern coast of Jeollanamdo. Only four islands are inhabited: Sangchuja, which is connected by a bridge to Hachuja, the largest by area; Hoenggan; and Chupo.Jeju
