This Jeju South-West tour was more than a day trip—it was a journey through beauty, peace, and gratitude. Starting at Eorimok and climbing Eoseungsaengak, we were surrounded by crisp air and panoramic views of Hallasan. Then came the striking coastline of Jusangjeolli Cliff, followed by the calm spirituality of Yakcheonsa Temple, where even a few quiet minutes felt healing. Our guide, Stella, made everything feel personal and warm. She didn’t just give information; she shared stories that made each place come alive. Her suggestion for a small cultural experience between stops turned out to be a highlight, something that made our group laugh and bond even more. The day ended perfectly at Osulloc Tea Museum, sipping tea while watching the sun dip behind the fields. Looking back, it’s hard to choose one favorite moment because the entire journey felt beautifully balanced—mountains, ocean, temples, waterfalls, and laughter all woven together.

Jeju in November is a dream painted in sunlight and tangerine orange. Every road we passed was lined with citrus trees, their fruits glowing like little lanterns. It’s truly the best season to visit. The landscapes of Jeju’s south and west are beyond what photos can capture. Standing at Jusangjeolli Cliff, watching waves crash against those sharp, geometric rocks, I realized how powerful and beautiful nature can be. The weather was perfect—fresh mountain air in the morning at Eoseungsaengak, warm sunshine by the ocean in the afternoon. Each stop had its own magic: the peaceful Yakcheonsa Temple, the cascading Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, and the fragrant Osulloc Tea Museum, where we ended the day with green tea ice cream and laughter. I’ve traveled across Korea, but Jeju feels like another world—its rhythm slower, its people kinder, and its beauty endless. If anyone is thinking of a fall or winter trip, I’d say November Jeju is pure perfection. Thank you

Our Jeju South-West tour was unforgettable, especially the visit to Yakcheonsa Temple. I’ve seen many temples before, but none quite like this one. The moment we stepped inside, I was stunned by its beauty—the towering golden Buddha, the intricate wooden carvings, and the gentle sound of monks chanting in the distance. It felt peaceful, almost sacred, as if time slowed down for a moment. Our guide, Stella, explained the temple’s history and meaning with such sincerity that I found myself listening quietly, completely absorbed. Later, she suggested a small hands-on activity nearby—something we hadn’t planned—but it turned into one of the most memorable parts of the day. Whether it was writing a simple wish or trying a local snack, it reminded us that travel isn’t only about sightseeing but also about connecting with moments. Stella’s care and attention to everyone’s comfort made the experience even warmer.today was filled with both energy and peace. I left feeling deeply grateful

The arrangements for today were excellent. Our tour guide, Stella, was very attentive. At one of the scenic spots, there was hiking. She constantly reminded us to be careful. She helped us on the stairs going up and down. 👍👍👍 She also kept helping us take pictures. 🤭🤭 She made us look very thin in the photos 😂🤣, so she is a very professional tour guide. 😘😘😘 Thanks

The tour guide is very friendly and will help take many photos. If you're not driving yourself, I highly recommend joining a day tour to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation.

This was my second time visiting Jeju island and doing the south&west tour(first time was during spring), but this time definitely topped the first time. This tour is perfect for people who love nature and want to see quite a lot in one day. Chloe was such a sweet and helpful guide. She gave great tips on where to go and what to do/eat.
