No need to worry—even with a stroller or wheelchair!

As a parent, you probably want to show your precious child a wider world—and your elderly parents an even more beautiful one.

With that in mind, I’m sure many of you are planning a Jeju trip with your loved ones in May, Family Month!

Running across open fields, climbing oreum, and soaking in the sea breeze as you face Jeju’s vast nature—those are the real highlights of a Jeju trip. But if you’re traveling with a young child or with elderly parents, it’s only natural to worry that getting around Jeju might be difficult.

So today, we’ve prepared Jeju travel spots where you don’t have to worry—even with a stroller or wheelchair! 

Shall we head out together?

On Jeju, barrier-free sharing trails (무장애나눔길) are being created so that people with limited mobility can enjoy forest paths comfortably and safely.

The first recommended spot is Jeolmul Natural Recreation Forest. Located in Jeju City, it’s a forest packed with cedar and pine trees. Out of 8 walking courses in total, 5 courses covering 7km are developed as barrier-free sharing trails, so you can enjoy the widest variety of stroll routes here. With an ecological pond, a children’s playground, and plenty of rest areas throughout, it’s a place that can satisfy both kids and parents!

When you think of Jeju forest paths, there’s one that probably comes to mind first—Saryeoni Forest Path. It’s a beautiful cedar forest trail that anyone would love to walk. Thankfully, it also has a barrier-free sharing trail.

If you want to enjoy the breathtaking view of 80-year-old cedars forming a canopy overhead, be sure to visit Saryeoni Forest Path.

If Saryeoni Forest Path feels too crowded, we recommend Bulgeunoreum Natural Recreation Forest. It’s located right next to Saryeoni, so you can still see similar cedar forest scenery, along with a more untouched, primeval feel. The wide grassy lawn you’ll reach after following the barrier-free sharing trail will show you what real peace and calm feels like!

In addition, Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest and Healing Forest also have barrier-free sharing trails. And except for Saryeoni Forest Path, wheelchair rental is available as well—good to keep in mind.

Shall we head out to meet a refreshing waterfall?

Located in Seogwipo, Cheonjeyeon Waterfall is the only waterfall you can reach without going up and down stairs. As you stroll along the lush forest path, you’ll hear the crashing sound of the falls from afar first. Beneath the majestic waterfall—where sky and earth seem to meet—the breeze blowing toward you will cool down even your mind.

Explore Jeoji Artists’ Village, where culture and art are alive and breathing!

Well-known artists from all over the country gathered and formed a small village in Jeju’s mid-mountain area. It’s full of personality, with each creator’s cultural sensibility woven into the space. Along the village roads, both strollers and wheelchairs can comfortably get around—and you can also enjoy a range of exhibitions at the Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art, Kim Tschang-Yeul Art Museum, the Public Art Storage, and even the recently opened Yoo Dong-ryong Museum.

How about a stroll through Seongeup Folk Village, where the everyday life of Jeju people has been preserved?

Seongeup Folk Village was once the town center where Jeongui-hyeon of the Joseon era was located. Its history and culture have been well preserved for a long time, and the entire village is designated as a folk cultural heritage site. Even today, local residents continue to live here while keeping traditions alive—making it even better for experiencing and trying traditional culture.
