Check out the Itinerary where you experience Coastal Wonders & Village Charm
The Jeju Olle is a set of 26 interlinked hiking trails that wrap around Jeju Island, an extinct volcano off South Korea’s southern coast. Stretching more than 400 kilometres, these trails weave through lava fields, fishing villages, forested paths, tangerine orchards, and dramatic coastal cliffs. 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.
Home Comforts Hiking now offers this extraordinary adventure as a self guided hiking tour, designed for individuals and groups who want the joy of hiking without the stress of planning.
