- Spring in Jeju Island: Strawberries experience & Olle Trail
Spring is the start of strawberries season starts and Jeju farmers offer a bunch of strawberry farming-related activities, like picking berries or making delicious food out of them. On the other hand, One of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island is by walking on a well planned and maintained trail.
While Jeju is famous for its mandarins during the winter season, different fruits are nourished in the island all year round. Spring is the start of strawberries season starts and Jeju farmers offer a bunch of strawberry farming-related activities, like picking berries or making delicious food out of them. There is nothing more delicious than a freshly-picked berry.
Jeju’s rural areas are the perfect conditions for strawberries to grow as the water and soil are particularly clean. Also, those strawberries are cultivated using eco-friendly methods, sometimes harvested during early dawn to ensure freshness and high quality. This is Jeju’s secret behind those sweet, juicy berries! Strawberries are only available until early May so don't miss the timing and plan your trip in advance. When the season is at its peak stage many desserts are made with fresh strawberries in Korea. If you were to add all the strawberry-related dishes served in Jeju’s cafes together you would get a huge table filled with the finest strawberry desserts: tarts, cakes, macarons, pastries, cheesecake, cupcakes, pudding, ice cream, chocolate fountains and anything you can think of!

One of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island is by walking on a well planned and maintained trail. It will keep you fit and connect you with Jeju’s nature and local culture. In the Jeju language "olle" is a word used for the narrow path that leads to one's house. Olle trail can be seen as narrow paths through the forests and coasts of Jeju Island that lead to the core of its beauty and magic. The trails stretch from village to village and go through beaches, farms and Gotjawal forests. These are forests native to Jeju Island where trees grow on volcanic rocks with very little soil.
Current Olle trails consist of a total of 26 routes, with 21 main routes and five sub-routes. Each course differs in length and difficulty, allowing visitors to choose the appropriate course that meets each individual’s level. The shortest one takes approximately one hour and the longest one can take up to eight hours to complete. Each course is decorated with directions and guiding flags along the way, so even first-time visitors will be able to follow the trail with ease. The routes have an average length of 16 km and combined they make up a total of 422 km of walking trails.
Jeju Olle was founded in 2007 and it has become a major tourist draw for Jeju Island. The trails attract not only visitors from mainland South Korea, but also international travelers who love hiking.
