Visit Jeju Island South Korea Travel Guide | A Retirement Travel Vacation Destination

This week we take a short flight to Jeju Island from Daegu. Jeju Island, often called the "Hawaii of South Korea," is a volcanic wonderland packed with natural beauty, quirky culture, and a slower pace of life that’s hard to resist. From hiking the majestic Hallasan volcano to exploring lava tubes and windswept coastlines, the island feels like a breath of fresh ocean air. It’s also home to the legendary haenyeo—elderly women who free-dive for seafood without oxygen tanks—and quirky museums dedicated to everything from tea to teddy bears. With its unique blend of adventure, serenity, and a dash of whimsy, Jeju is a world away from the mainland, yet deeply rooted in Korean spirit. It was an incredible week that you won't want to miss.
