YongChan Choi (You can call me Yolly) Premium Heritage, Outdoor, Culinary Specialist "From the beautiful scenery, to the deeper vibe and soul of Jeju." * 🏛️ The Jeju Storyteller (Culture and History) - Former researcher at a local history foundation. - Specialized storyteller of Jeju's deep cultural identity and the 4.3 Uprising. * 🚲 The Outdoor Explorer - A deeply experienced trekker and cyclist explored every hidden corner of Jeju. - Cycled Sea to Sea (C2C) route in the UK on a Brompton (2025) and walked the entire Camino de Santiago French Route (2026). * 🍳 The Local Food Expert - Certified Chef (Craftsman Cook) with a sophisticated palate. - Curator of Jeju’s authentic local flavors, dedicating to sharing the island's rich culinary narrative and seasonal treasures. Hello! I’m a certified English-speaking tour guide on beautiful Jeju Island, South Korea. I offer customized private tours for travelers who want to see the real Jeju. Before guiding, I worked at a local history foundation. I led field trips and gave talks about Jeju’s past, especially the Jeju 4.3 Uprising. Because of this, I know Jeju’s history and culture very well and love sharing them with my guests. I also love outdoor activities! I often hike up Mount Halla and many smaller volcanic hills (oreum). As a passionate cyclist, I’ve ridden all over Jeju and found many hidden spots. I’ve also traveled overseas with my bike, so I understand international travelers well. Plus, I’m a licensed cook and a real foodie! I love finding great places to eat. Jeju has so much good food—not just famous black pork and seafood, but also great local dishes and world foods. Whether you want a hike, a history walk, or a local food tour, I keep my tours fun, easy, and flexible. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the best of Jeju!

From summit to supper: Jeju’s nature and cuisine with a local guide
Overview of your Jeju tour
Join a full-day adventure from the peak of Hallasan (1,947m), South Korea’s highest mountain, to a table filled with the rich flavors of Jeju. As we hike this dormant volcano, you'll witness unique ecological zones — from lush evergreen forests to alpine shrubs — shaped by altitude and climate. At the summit, we’ll enjoy panoramic views of Baengnokdam crater, a volcanic lake wrapped in local legend. I’ll guide you through Hallasan’s geology and the island’s mythical stories passed down for generations. After a 7–8 hour trek, it’s time to unwind and refuel with a local feast. Choose between Jeju’s famous black pork BBQ or fresh fish dishes, paired with traditional makgeolli or soju. Over dinner, we’ll share stories, reflect on the day, and savor the true spirit of Jeju — together.
