Planning Your Jeju Winter Itinerary
While Jeju draws the most number of tourists during the summer season, visiting the island during winter is also just as ideal. With clear skies and low humidity, many visitors find Jeju-do to be the perfect leisure and hiking destination. It’s the time when beautiful camellias bloom, forest trails get that dreamy look, and mountain peaks get covered in snow! If you’re planning a Jeju winter itinerary for a solo, couple, or group adventure, here are some of the activities and attractions that you can consider to make the most of your trip:
1. Visit Jeju Island’s Camellia Hill
We’ve featured this attraction quite a lot on this blog, and it’s really because you’d miss out a lot by not visiting! While it’s true that there are many similar flower parks and gardens all around the island, Camellia Hill stands out because — and I’m about to point the obvious — of its stunning camellias! These are flowers that bloom fully during the cold, so it’ll be a lovely experience for couples, friends, and families. What’s more is that you can spend time in their art gallery, cafe, and scenic walking paths that are filled with positive messages all around. For many Koreans, traveling is all about healing or letting go of whatever weighs them down, and you will definitely get this experience when you visit!

2. Explore the Gotjawal Forest & Ecoland
Gotjawal is one-of-a-kind nature spot as it is mystical. It’s a forest that was formed on a lava region (right in the middle of the Hallasan slopes) and is believed to have healing effects. Gotjawal Forest houses a popular tourist attraction called Ecoland, which has a nice hop-on, hop-off train tour, lakeside decks, cafes and restaurants, and a Don Quixote-inspired windmill, among so many others. If you decide to add Ecoland or Gotjawal Forest in your Jeju winter itinerary, I’d recommend alloting 4-5 hours for some sightseeing.
