To the west of Jeju, Seongsan Ilchulbong is a stunning volcanic crater, or ‘tuff cone,’ created during an undersea volcanic eruption 5,000 years ago. The 600m crater and its steep cliffs rise 182m from sea level, and adventurous visitors can climb to the top to enjoy the remarkable scenery and diverse geological structures.

Jeju is an island rich with natural landmarks, stunning coastlines, beautiful beaches and hip cafes. Whether you fill your time hiking through the landscape, indulging in wellness treatments, or exploring the destination’s culinary scene, you’ll leave richer for the experience.
