Seongsan Ilchulbong
성산일출봉
Explore Jeju’s volcanic coastal landmark, with a stepped summit climb and gentler perimeter scenery. Choose the route that fits your walking ability.
Seongsan Ilchulbong offers two different kinds of visit: a stepped climb for the crater views and a gentler experience around the perimeter scenery. Decide which is right for your group before buying a summit ticket. The volcanic coastal setting is the main reason to come, so a comfortable pace and good conditions matter more than reaching every viewpoint. Do not build a sunrise plan without checking opening rules for your date.
