Hallim Park (couple trip)
How Couple-Friendly is Hallim Park?
What makes it 90% Couple-Friendly: Palm-lined lanes, sunset lotus pond, and quiet cafés create romantic scenery, while sharing the lava-tube walk adds novelty; flat paths and frequent buses make an unhurried date easy to plan.
Positives:
- Versatile photo spots: Many contrasting backdrops ideal for couple portraits.
- Nearby beach detour: Combine with a visit to Gimnyeong Beach, just 5 km east.
Challenges:
- Slippery cave floors: Some cave paths are wet; wear shoes with good grip.
- Limited English signs: Directional signs are mostly in Korean; download a map in advance.

It was beyond my expectation! Loved it! The recommended time was 1.5hrs but we spent the entire morning there (about 4 hours, including lunch at the “village” area). The caves were super cool too!

This was highlights for the day...didn't think much about this arboretum but to our surprise, it is hugh park. They have so many varieties of plants and flowers...though not many flowers blossom. They even have some birds and even crocodile. They even have caves to explore even though it was way too dark to see anything. Be careful walking i side the caves. We have great time walking around d...

Beautiful, zen place. Amazing caves, stunning "Stones & Bonsai" display. Almost skipped it and I loved it the most next to the caves. Assorted snacks and souvenirs. First time I get to see ostriches and lovely peacocks. Loved this part of our trip. Recommended if you're a nature lover.

Best place i went in Jeju, there's so much to see. Place was quite empty as i was there on weekdays late afternoon. Would be good if I was there earlier as I didn't have much time there. Got to see cactus, flowers, cave and even some cool animals there. Definitely a good experience!

Love the plant exhibitions. Worth a day’s visit! The place was clean and the wide variety of vegetation was cool to see! The caves were awesome to walk thru as well! I do wish the animal’s housing was more expansive, as in I wish they each had more space. Some of them are suffering from cramped space, which causes stress.
