Jeju Tangerine Picking

Tangerine picking on a Jeju day tour is a stop at a farm, and on most tours the picking itself is a small extra paid there in won. The season is winter: the Citrus Museum in Seogwipo runs its harvest experience from November to February. The tour to book is LOVE KOREA’s Jeju East UNESCO Tour: Tangerine Picking, Seongsan, Haenyeo, from US$51 on promotion, usually US$86 a person (checked November 2026). It includes the farm’s entry, adds Manjanggul Lava Tube, Seongeup Folk Village, Seongsan Ilchulbong and the haenyeo divers, and leaves the picking fee to you on the day.

The tour has one option. On 15 and 26 November 2026 it cost US$51.47 a person, and two adults paid US$102.94 on 26 November; on 20 January and 24 March 2027 it cost US$85.78 a person (checked November 2026). Free cancellation until 24 hours before.

When the season runs

Korea’s tourism bodies give no single start or end date for the whole island. The Korea Tourism Organization’s page for the Citrus Museum in Seogwipo says visitors can try the tangerine harvest there from November to February of the following year, with museum entry at 1,500 won for adults. Visit Jeju, the island’s own tourism site, says picking experiences vary from farm to farm and should be checked before you go (both checked November 2026).

The tours follow their farms. Lucas Travel's day offers its picking from 11 November, and only while the farm’s supply lasts. LOVE KOREA’s east day was already picking in October: reviewers on 5, 6, 12 and 25 October 2026 wrote about it. On Lucas Travel's day the stop ends when its farm runs out of fruit; no end date is given.

What the picking costs

LOVE KOREA’s price includes the tangerine farm’s admission and leaves out the picking fee. The picking is optional and paid separately on the spot, and guests who skip it can walk round the farm. The amount is not stated, and cash is on the list of things to bring.

The other tours that stop at a farm price it in different ways:

Prices a person, checked November 2026; Uken Tour Jeju’s on Viator, checked November 2026. The won amounts are paid at the farm.

The all-inclusive day is the one exception, and even it has a catch: if a farm charges more than about US$7 for picking, travellers on Uken Tour Jeju’s day can be asked for US$5 to 7 more, because the cost varies by farm and crop. Its US$105 is the rate a person for two or more adults; one adult alone paid US$199 (checked November 2026). It may cancel with fewer than three travellers.

Where the farms are

The Citrus Museum is on the south coast in Seogwipo, 47.5 km by road from Jeju International Airport. The tours’ farms are their own, LOVE KOREA’s included, and no tour here names its farm or gives an address, so none is on the map. What the map does show is the shape of the day. LOVE KOREA’s east tour starts at Manjanggul Cave on the north-east coast, works round to Seongsan Ilchulbong at the eastern tip, and visits the farm after the peak and the divers, before Gwangchigi Beach and the drive back.

Check dates for the east day with the farm

Two closed days on the same route

The farm is one stop of a full day, and the day has two fixed closures. Seongsan Ilchulbong is closed on the first Monday of every month, or the next day when that Monday is a public holiday (VISITKOREA, checked November 2026): 7 December 2026, 4 January and 1 February 2027. Manjanggul Lava Tube is closed on the first Wednesday of every month (Visit Jeju, checked November 2026): 2 December 2026, 6 January and 3 February 2027. Manjanggul reopened on 30 May 2026 after a closure, and about 1 km of it is open to visitors.

On those dates the tours keep running and change the stop. Reviewers of LOVE KOREA’s east day posting on 10 September and 6 October 2026 could not climb Seongsan that day. If the peak or the cave matters as much as the tangerines, pick another date. Seongsan Ilchulbong has the peak’s winter hours, and the Jeju east tour the whole route.

What reviewers say about the farm

LOVE KOREA’s east day has 2,322 reviews on GetYourGuide. We read the 350 most recent, dated 27 August to 8 November 2026. One reviewer called the picking extra “an amazing experience and definitely worth the additional cost” (25 October), another “definitely a must do” (12 October). One four-star reviewer (17 October) found that the farm visit was not included and had to be paid for, with no other option for anyone who did not want it, and one five-star reviewer (18 October) felt the beach and the tangerines were not needed. Picking is optional, though: you can walk the farm without it.
