One of the key highlights you must visit in Jeju. We were there in terrible weather but the view was magnificent nonetheless; wished it was clear enough for us to hike up the place. Not elderly friendly, full of steps and steep slopes. Note that the Hanyeon performance has been changed as well - it's now just 2pm instead of the 1.30pm and 3pm slots I've seen online. Not sure if this is a permanent change or not, but we did missed the show! There are nice eateries down the area, famous for their hair tail fish stew and abalone porridge.

It’s a tough climb to the peak of the volcano. I didn’t count but there’s many steps and sometimes a bit steep. It’s tough regardless how old you are. I watched high school students on a field trip struggling and be out of breath as well as people of all ages. Make sure to dress appropriately as your body will generate much heat. Recommend wear shorts and light clothing and a hat. Bring drink. Like Gatorade. There is a little shop about 10% of the way up. The reward is a great view in 360 degrees and an impressive view of the canopy of trees inside the volcano. Going down is much more refreshing but still hard on the knees and legs. Personally I had to rest quite often but making it to the top is quite an achievement. If you go to Jeju Island it’s a must do. Getting there by car or public bus takes a while. Took us about 1 1/2 hours of express bus from the Jeju Intercity Bus Station. On the way to the park there are some pretty good restaurants selling local foods. Believe it or not this little tourist paradise isn’t overpriced. Restaurant prices were normally priced and offered high quality food. Don’t forget to bring a good camera as there are many photo ops.

With my 65year old folks, it took us 1 hour to reach the peak. There are several resting huts, or stand to a corner if u need a rest. Hiking stick would be good companion. Without is also fine. Mostly are steps up. As it’s a very popular place, do arrive earlier to grab a seat at the top and patiently wait for the beautiful sunrise. It’s easy to descend too , going down is a different path from going up. go slow for those with weaker knees.

It's like 30 mins climb on steps to the peak. Nothing hard but alot of people at certain hours. Stay for the diving show at the bottom which starts at 2pm local time. Have some peanut ice cream down there while shopping for some souvenirs !

Nice scenic hike up the mountain. Took about 45 minutes to go up and back down while taking pics and selfies. We went day after Christmas and it was a little crowded, but plenty of parking and the trail wasn’t too bad. Lots of coffee shops and restaurants around the area. Admission is just 5,000 won per adult. On the way up and down, a couple of restrooms and places to take a break.

If sightseeing is your thing, then the best place to go is Seongsan Ilchulbong which place in Jeju Island. I'd like to recommend climbing the top of the Seongsan Ilchulbong because you can feel fresh and satisfaction. At first, I couldn't understand the value of the climbing. However, after I arrived at the top I was fascinated. Also there were so many famous restaurant. For instance, raw fish restaurant and Black pig restaurant. After climbing, you will feel hungry. Then you have to go the restaurant. It serves the best quality which is perfect you have never felt before.

It would appear that this location is highly sought-after by travellers. Purchase of tickets is required before to admission. As one ascends higher, the stunning panorama gradually unfolds before their eyes. On the other hand, a person with mobility issues should probably not go there because there are a lot of concrete steps both going up and coming down.

A sense a satisfaction when you make it to the top. It’s not a long walk but it’s steep. We bought our tickets and went up around 12pm then came down and had a platter of seafood sold by the haenyeos by the beach. The seafood could be eaten raw or cooked. We also had abalone porridge. The haenyeo had their show at 2pm (one per day at the moment, subject to weather conditions).

We are it our 70s, fit, but not superbly so. It took us almost an hour, but we had no problem walking to the top. The view during the trail and all the way to the top is certainly worth the climb! It’s not only the natural scenery, but also the colorful houses in the town that add to the charm

Seongsan Ilchulbong is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can hike up to its crown-like summit for breathtaking views of the island's stunning landscapes. If time permits. We were in a tour group which did not accord us the luxury of time to hike all the way up. Nevertheless, even if you walk up the hill partway for around 20 minutes, you can still take beautiful pictures on the way up, and also on your walk down the shorter trail on the right side with scenic sea views. But if you have time and are able to, imagine that the view from uptop will be even more spectacular and paranomic.
