About Jeju for Solo Travelers

South Korea's volcanic island of lava tube caves, female free-divers, and a Hallasan summit above the clouds — solo travelers drive the coastline, hike the volcano, and find Jeju an extraordinarily varied island in one compact destination.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Jeju island is South Korea's Hawaii and increasingly popular with solo travelers — rent a car or scooter (essential, buses are infrequent), hike Hallasan volcano (South Korea's highest peak), and explore the dramatic coastal lava formations of Jusangjeolli. The Haenyeo (female free-divers) performances at Seongsan Ilchulbong are extraordinary cultural solo experiences. Jeju is peaceful, safe, and surprisingly affordable compared to Seoul.
