Jeju Southern UNESCO Full-Day Tour: Hallasan Wetland, Jusangjeolli Cliffs & O'sulloc Tea Fields
Select participants and date
The morning bus slides out of Jeju City with the island still holding its night chill, and the coast peels open like a photo. By the time the guide points to Hallasan's blunt silhouette, the wetland at 1,100 meters is already a bowl of mist and dwarf azaleas. You move through a high meadow that feels alive — wind pushing against the sedges, clouds pressing low — and you understand why Hallasan governs the island’s weather and stories.

Adventure Tips
Layer for variable conditions
Hallasan’s wetland can be windy and cool even in summer; pack a lightweight windproof layer and quick-dry base layers.
Grip your footing
Jusangjeolli and coastal viewpoints have wet rock and uneven paths—wear shoes with good tread and watch your step.
Bring cash for lunch
Lunch at Songaksan is at your own expense; some small vendors accept only cash for local dishes.
Respect fragile habitats
Stay on marked boardwalks at Hallasan wetland; trampling damages slow-recovering alpine vegetation.
Local Insights
Wildlife

History
Jeju’s landscapes are the result of volcanic eruptions that formed basalt pillars, lava tubes and fertile soils; the island’s culture blends maritime life and mountain reverence.
Conservation
High foot traffic concentrates at waterfalls and wetland boardwalks—stick to trails, avoid single-use plastics, and support local conservation initiatives where possible.
