Project Introduction
Feel the charm of Kite Surfing with the wind and waves all over your body!
Have you heard of kite surfing?
Kite surfing combines the characteristics of paragliding and surfing. It involves flying a large kite, similar to paragliding, and harnessing the wind's power to pull you across the water on a surfboard.
This extreme sport has been growing in popularity among enthusiasts in South Korea since the 2000s, and it has become so popular worldwide that it is even being considered for inclusion as an official Olympic sport.
Experience the BEST SPORT to enjoy the Sea safely: KITE SURFING!
As long as you follow the safety rules correctly, kite surfing is much safer than snowboarding or surfing.
This sport allows you to glide over the water for more than 20 km and perform jumps using the power of the wind
Doesn't that sound exciting?
At a beach with a view of Seongsan Ilchulbong and Udo Island, enjoy kite surfing safely and enjoyably with structured lessons from experienced instructors.

LOCATION INTRODUCTION
LOCATION: SOUTH KOREA, Jeju Island
■ Recommended Travel Destinations
1. Seongsan Ilchulbong
Seongsan Ilchulbong, unlike other peaks in Jeju Island, was formed by underwater volcanic eruptions, and its steep sides near the sea have been shaped by erosion from waves and currents. Originally an isolated island separated from Jeju's mainland during its formation, sedimentation of sand and gravel over time created a land bridge that now connects it seamlessly to the mainland. The steep staircase path to the summit of Seongsan Ilchulbong may leave you breathless, but with a generous 20-minute climb, you can reach the top. Give it a try!
2. Saryeoni Forest Trail
Saryeoni Forest Trail offers a serene path where you can fully enjoy the scent of pine trees. It forms a long section totaling 15km, part of the 6th course of the Hallasan Circuit Trail. The trail is adorned with pine and cedar trees, making it a perfect spot for forest trekking. Experience the ambiance of Saryeoni Forest and feel the phytoncides emitted by the trees. Known as a popular spot for honeymoon wedding photoshoots, capture beautiful moments here.
3. Jeju Olle Trail
Jeju Olle Trail, a hiking course developed by selecting pleasant walking paths on Jeju Island, derives its name from the Jeju dialect meaning narrow paths that connect homes to main roads. The first course was established in 2007, and since then, a total of 26 courses spanning 425km have been developed. Each course is within an average of 15km with an estimated hiking time of 5 to 6 hours. The trails connect alleyways, mountain paths, field paths, coastal paths, and hillsides along the coastline, including courses that circle small islands around Jeju. If you're visiting Jeju, consider walking at least one course of the Olle Trail. You can purchase a passport at the Olle Information Centers and enjoy collecting stamps along the way.
