Snoopy Garden: What To Do in Jeju with Kids
How many times have you visited Jeju Island? This popular travel destination in South Korea, called the Hawai’i of South Korea, is bigger than many expect and I’ve been four… or is it five times and am still finding things to see and do. Some places are more for the natural beauty like Hallasan Mountain and Jeongbang Waterfall and some are for the quirky and fun escapes. One such fun escape on the island was the surprisingly beautiful Snoopy Garden. Nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Jeju Island, Snoopy Garden is a haven for families seeking a blend of nature, creativity, and nostalgia. On top of that, Kpop lovers are…

Udo Island: A Guide To The Island Off The Coast Of Jeju Island
Jeju Island is much larger than you might expect which means you really need to know what you want to see before you go and stay near those things. If you’re staying on the west side of Jeju Island, for example, then you would really never have time to get to Udo Island which is off the eastern coast of the island. Stay near the beautiful Seopjikoji though, and you will definitely and should definitely make time for a daytrip to Udo Island. If you’re staying in the right place, or going to take the time to stay ON Udo Island, then here is the guide for you. Check out…

Yongmeori Coast: What You Need To See On Jeju Island
There are stunning natural wonders to see all over Jeju Island which is why it’s one of my favorite places in all of Korea to visit. On a recent trip, we made it down to Yongmeori Coast (용머리해안), or Dragon’s Head Cliff, and enjoyed quite the afternoon exploring the cliffs, mountains and views that can be had there. Yongmeori Coast is a tourist site on the southwest coast of Jeju Island which is important to note because Jeju Island is large so you’ll want to explore it in quadrants to make the best use of your time. Yongmeori Coast is definitely a must-see on Jeju Island and something you need…

Where To Stay On Jeju Island in Korea
Jeju Island has been called the Hawai’i of Korea and it is gorgeous. There is a ton to do too whether you want to visit Jeju in the winter or the summer. The problem is, it’s definitely bigger than you might think so it’s super important to choose the right spot to stay to see exactly what you want. Don’t even think you can see the whole island in one weekend. You really need to think of the island as four quadrants and then stick to that one area when you visit and see what you can see there. Jeju Island is an absolute must visit if you’ll be spending…

Hamdeok Beach: The Idyllic Place To Stay on Jeju Island
Jeju Island is the best place in South Korea to visit in the summer months in Korea. There are plenty of beaches to explore and museums and fun indoor sites too. Our favorite place to stay and what I would consider one of the best beaches on Jeju Island, the white sandy Hamdeok Beach is so inviting. When you’re stuck between the city buildings of Seoul and the clear blue waters of Jeju are calling, this is where you’ll want to stay in Jeju. It is too enticing to pass up. Looking for a beautiful and also kid friendly area on Jeju Island? Definitely check out Hamdeok Beach on Jeju’s…

Jeju Island: Hiking Mount Hallasan by Eorimok Trail
It was definitely a trek, and we were on one of the easier shorter trails. But as the locals say, “Jeju is Mount Halla; and Mount Halla is Jeju.” As the tallest mountain in South Korea, a visit to Jeju Island would not be complete without a hike up to the summit or as far as one can go, of Mount Halla. Rising 1,950 meters above sea level, it can be seen from everywhere on the island, that is when the clouds aren’t surrounding the top. Do you NEED to visit Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island? Yes, absolutely. And, you should add a whole day to your Jeju itinerary to…
