Luxury Jeju Island
Tours made for you
Korea's favourite holiday spot
The largest island off the coast of the Korean Peninsula, Jeju is dominated by Hallasan, the volcano from which it was formed and the highest mountain in South Korea.
Sloping down through rich forests past villages built from black volcanic rock and the famous dol hareubang grandfather statues carved from basalt, the island’s coastline is a dramatic place of rugged cliffs, waterfalls and beaches, at its most beautiful when carpeted in wildflowers. You’ll also find some impressive temples and lava tubes in between.
Another major draw for visitors here (of which there are many, Jeju is the top honeymoon spot for newlywed Koreans and the air route between Seoul and the island is the busiest in the world) is the food. Along with fresh fish, Jeju is famous for its seafood, much of which is hand caught by the Haenyeo women who dive for clams, abalone, octopus, squid and seaweed with no breathing apparatus.

Overall experience was great, from planning, preparation and actual trip itself. It was an "extended" planning period because of covid but we were kept up to date on latest health and immigration requirements, which helped address our concerns/anxiety. Our "Cherry Blossoms" trip to Jeju, Busan and Seoul (finally, after waiting 2 years) was great. Excellent service during the trip -…

We, as a family, have been privileged to go on a number of luxury holidays to some interesting places - from Peru to Pakistan and Mongolia to Mozambique - and this trip was right up there.

My family and I went on a trip to Vietnam, South Korea and Indonesia. The experience was absolutely fantastic. The planning of the activities, hotels and times for rest was impeccable. My children are 8 and 10, and my mom is 63. The choice of accommodations was brilliant, each hotel was unique and could have been an attraction by itself!
