It has been a crazy winter but it looks like it is finally behind us and that means more and more people are going to be heading out into the Jeju countryside.
If you are looking for something a bit more active then this is the best time for some running in Jeju’s woodlands or up and down the volcanic cones, or oreum.
There is much more to do out there than just enjoy the view, however, with ATVs, four-wheel drive, bouncing balls, paragliding and ziplines also awaiting the dare-devils among you.
We have selected some of the island’s best options for action-packed fun in the outdoors for spring.
