Cycling South Korea’s Jeju Island
Every Korean knows that Jeju Island is special – for Korean nationals, it has long been the go-to domestic holiday destination. However, Jeju still flies under the radar for many international travelers. I’ve now been to Jeju seven times and counting, and I keep going back because in a country that feels largely homogeneous, Jeju is distinct. On this particular trip, I had the opportunity to see the island from a whole new perspective – on two wheels, from the saddle of my Trek Domane AL 2 road bike. For active, adventurous travelers who want an immersive experience that is truly off the beaten path, a cycling tour along the Jeju Fantasy Bike Path is one of the most authentic and rewarding ways to explore this remarkable island.
