Ed first noticed blue and orange ribbons with a tiny horse icon while driving around Jeju with his wife. Took him a while to realize it was a trail. 27 routes, 437 kilometers, covering oreums, beaches, forest, fishing villages, farmland. Just follow the ribbons. No map needed.

Olleh Trail: Blue & Orange Ribbons and a Tiny Horse #traveltips #jeju #ollehtrail #diytravel #hiking
Most people who walk the Olleh Trail never finish all 437 kilometers — and that's the point. One route takes 5-7 hours. Do half. Do a third. The goal is experiencing Jeju, not collecting a finisher title. Sora hasn't done it. Her reasoning: she has a job. Ed's reasoning: he didn't, at the time. He's an old unemployed bum, by his own admission. Full episode: https://youtu.be/dGElJPuX5qs #traveltips #jeju #ollehtrail #diytravel #hiking
437km Sounds Intense. Most People Walk a Lot Less. #traveltips #jeju #ollehtrail #diytravel #hiking
Ed has been waiting 20 episodes to talk about the Jeju Olleh Trail — all 437 kilometers, 27 routes, circling the entire island. Sora hasn't finished it. Most Jeju locals haven't. It's always there, so there's no urgency. Mainland Koreans, especially seniors, fly in every weekend to chip away at it route by route. For some, finishing becomes a lifetime achievement.

He Waited 20 Episodes to Talk About The Olleh Trail #traveltips #jeju #ollehtrail #diytravel #hiking
Ed has been waiting 20 episodes to talk about his favorite thing in Jeju: the 437-kilometer Jeju Olleh Trail. This episode covers everything a potential hiker needs to know, from the meaning of "Olleh" (a Jeju dialect word for the narrow pathway between a traditional house and the village road) to the passport stamping system, the blue (clockwise) and orange (counterclockwise) trail markers, and how to get the completion certificate at the Seogwipo headquarters. Ed shares his top three favorite courses and Sora teases a future guided Olleh tour for English speakers. KEY TAKEAWAYS * 27 routes totaling 437 km; most people do one trail (5-8 hours) or half a trail, not the whole thing * No registration required to walk; just follow the blue and orange ribbons with the Ganse horse symbol * Optional passport system: buy a booklet at any Olleh visitor center; stamp at the start, midpoint, and end of each trail; endpoint of one trail is the start of the next * Blue arrows = clockwise direction; orange arrows = counterclockwise * Completion certificate and pin awarded at Jeju Olleh Foundation HQ in Seogwipo (warning: they make you ring a bell and read an award speech) * Who should try it: people who like walking, have time, are comfortable navigating buses (some routes have buses only every 2 hours), and are okay staying in local pensions * Ed's top 3 courses: Course 21 (Haenyeo Museum through Sumbisori Gil, farmlands, Hado Beach, Jimibong); Course 8/9 (Gunsan Oreum descent through horse trail tunnel to a Mediterranean-style port); Course 1 (ending at Gwangchigi Beach with sunset or sunrise views of Seongsan Ilchulbong) * Sora is developing a 1-2 week guided Olleh tour in English; contact mailto:soraya@vamosajeju.com * Blog post: http://vamosajeju.com/olleh NEXT STEPS * Plan your Jeju trip at http://vamosajeju.com/trip * Blog post: http://vamosajeju.com/olleh * Follow @vamosajeju on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook * Share the show with someone who needs a walking challenge
Ep 20: The Jeju Olleh Trail - The Hike of a Lifetime #jeju #olletrail #hiking
Altteure airfield in southwest Jeju served as a Japanese military runway during the Second World War. Crops grow there now — garlic, radish — alongside hangars that haven't moved in eighty years. Walking further brings you to Seodal Oreum, where Japanese anti-aircraft positions remain, and a memorial at the foot of the hill commemorating victims of Jeju's April 3rd Massacre. Sora found it unsettling at first. She considers it essential. A rental car is required — no buses serve the area.

Sumbisori-gil connects the Haenyeo Museum to Hado along Jeju's northeast coast — a two-hour route that passes an old haenyeo gathering house, follows the coastline, and crosses the farmland where haenyeo worked between dives. Hado, the endpoint, was the center of Jeju's haenyeo resistance movement. For those who want the history without the full distance, a bus to Hado and a walk back covers half the loop without missing what matters most.

Camel Coffee on Jeju's east coast sits on lava rock above a small white sand beach, with windmills visible from the terrace. Ed uses it as a starting point for a longer coastal walk along the Jeju Olle Trail — past Woljeong Beach and Gimnyeong Beach, both with cafes for breaks along the way. Sora considers the area around Gimnyeong one of her favorite places to spend time on the island. In summer, locals snorkel in the same waters.

Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road accommodates different levels of enthusiasm in the same group. The shorter coastal walk takes about 30 minutes and stays near the shore. The longer route extends on a raised platform out over the water, connecting the windmills further out — around an hour to an hour and a half. Both end near tangerine juice and snacks. A rental car or Kakao Taxi is recommended — the nearest bus stop involves enough walking to undermine the entire premise.

Seopjikoji is a gentle coastal cape near Seongsan Ilchulbong, walkable with almost no elevation gain. From March through May, canola flowers line the path. Lava rock formations frame the ocean throughout. Seongsan Ilchulbong is visible across the water. Sora describes it as classic Jeju — the kind of walk that works for everyone. Ed hasn't been. That changes at Christmas. Full episode: https://youtu.be/RaZQiwJ4nj0 #traveltips #jeju #slowtravel #diytravel #hiking
