Amidst the silvery reed hillsides, the sound of waves lapping against the sandy beach where dogs frolic, Jeju appears gentle and enchanting in the red sunset.

In order to spread that beauty, the Jeju Tourism Organization (JTO) has introduced seven autumn experience itineraries, suitable for different styles and interests, so that visitors can fully experience this charming island.

Seven autumn itineraries in Jeju will open up for visitors a variety of experiences, where everyone can find their own joy and harmony.

When in need of some peace, visitors can seek out “healing” trips, leisurely strolling among the grassy hills, breathing in the cool breeze and sharing happy moments with their pets. From these journeys, our footsteps naturally lead us to captivating scenes, where the reed fields stretch in the wind, and the autumn sunlight dyes a corner of Jeju sky golden.
