Tangerine Jeju Orange Picking is one of those must-try experiences that brings out the joy of travel and nature in one go. Nestled in the fresh countryside of Jeju Island, this cheerful activity lets visitors stroll through sun-kissed groves and handpick sweet, juicy Jeju oranges straight from the tree. Locally known for their refreshing taste and bright peel, these oranges are loved across Korea — and biting into one you’ve just picked is something special. It’s a brilliant way to spend a crisp morning, especially from late autumn to early winter when the trees are loaded with fruit.

What makes this so popular in Jeju? It’s not just the oranges — it’s the whole vibe. Families, couples, and even solo travellers get a kick out of the relaxed pace, the scenic farms, and the feeling of being connected to something local and real. Jeju’s mild climate is perfect for growing these famously sweet citrus fruits, and picking them yourself adds a fun, hands-on twist to any holiday. Plus, most farms let you eat as many as you like while you’re picking — now that’s a juicy bonus!

Thinking of giving Jeju orange picking a go? Great choice! It’s a fun, refreshing activity that gives you a real taste of local life on Jeju Island. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of it, especially if you're visiting from overseas:

The Jeju orange picking season usually runs from November to January, when the trees are full of ripe, juicy fruit. Some farms open as early as late October, so it's worth checking ahead!

You’ll find plenty of tangerine farms across Jeju, especially in the Seogwipo area. Some popular farms include Jeju Citrus Museum, Hallabong Farm, and Sanghyowon Botanical Garden, which often welcome international visitors.

Many farms are used to hosting foreigners, so they often have English signs and friendly staff who’ll guide you through. You don’t need to speak Korean to join in — just a smile and a bit of pointing usually works wonders!

Expect to pay around ₩10,000–₩15,000 KRW per person. This usually includes a small bag you can fill with the oranges you pick, and some places let you eat as many as you like while picking!

Wear comfy clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting a little dusty. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and your camera — the groves make a perfect backdrop for fun snaps. Most farms provide scissors or baskets, so you’re all set.

Public transport on Jeju is decent, but if you want more flexibility, renting a car is super handy — especially if you plan to visit a few spots in one day. Taxi tours are also a popular option.

Many farms sell gift boxes of fresh Jeju oranges or tangerine-based goodies like chocolate, juice, or jam — ideal souvenirs!

Most places are perfect for children and first-timers. It’s a laid-back way to enjoy the outdoors, connect with nature, and snack on something seriously tasty.

Jeju orange picking is more than just a cute photo-op — it’s a memory-maker. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with family, it's a fresh and cheerful way to enjoy what Jeju does best.

So, you're heading out to pick some of those famously sweet Jeju oranges? Brilliant! Here are a few cheerful, easy tips to help you get the best of the bunch and enjoy the experience from start to finish:

The richer the colour, the riper and juicier the tangerine. Avoid any that are too pale or greenish — they’re probably not quite ready yet.

A ripe Jeju orange should feel slightly soft but still firm. Too squishy? That one’s past its best. Rock hard? Not quite there yet.

Most farms will give you a pair of scissors or small clippers. Snip the stem just above the fruit to avoid damaging the tree — it’s easier than twisting!

It’s tempting to load up, but too many stacked on top of each other can bruise the fruit. Fill your bag with care and keep the juicy ones safe.

Many farms allow you to nibble as you pick — it’s part of the fun! Just make sure to double-check the rules before you start snacking.

The outer edges of the trees are picked more often. Look a little deeper in or towards the top (safely, of course!) for untouched gems.

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty, and bring a sunhat if the weather’s warm. Good shoes are a must — some of the paths can be a bit uneven.

With these tips in your back pocket, you’ll be picking like a local in no time — sweet, simple, and so satisfying!
