Jeju Olle Trail, South Korea
7-Day Fully Guided Hiking Tours
Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate
Walk the Trails of Wind, Stone, and the Legendary Women of the Sea
Join our expert-guided 7-day adventure and discover Jeju Island’s most beautiful coastal and volcanic landscapes with confidence and ease.
Led by experienced Australian and local guides, this fully hosted journey lets you immerse yourself in the rhythm of island life, enjoy authentic meals, and explore UNESCO-listed wonders without ever needing to plan a thing.
The Jeju Olle is a network of 26 interlinked hiking trails encircling Jeju Island, an extinct volcano and UNESCO World Heritage site off South Korea’s southern coast. Over 400 kilometres of scenic paths reveal lava fields, tangerine orchards, fishing villages, and dramatic cliffs overlooking the turquoise sea. Each section is between 12 and 20 kilometres, gentle in gradient yet endlessly captivating.
At the heart of the island rises Mount Hallasan, a 2,000-metre dormant volcano surrounded by smaller volcanic cones that add depth and texture to the landscape. With its mild climate, vibrant food culture, and diverse ecosystems, Jeju is an eco-friendly paradise for walkers seeking beauty, serenity, and cultural connection.
Our fully guided 7-day tour covers the most breathtaking sections of the trail. Walk at a relaxed pace, enjoy the insights of knowledgeable guides, and end each day in comfort. From sunrise over coastal peaks to shared dinners filled with laughter, this journey blends adventure with expert care.
