Jeju Hallasan Winter Hiking Gear Rental Review
If you are not someone who hikes often, getting everything ready for a climb — like hiking boots, trekking poles, crampons, and gaiters — can feel like a lot of luggage and a big expense. It feels like a waste to buy everything just to use it once. If you want to travel light but still hike Hallasan safely and comfortably in winter, I highly recommend using Oshare for rental gear.
They have a lot of reviews and a great reputation, so I decided to try them myself, fully paid out of my own pocket. The gear was in very good condition, and renting essentials like crampons and trekking poles made my mind feel much lighter too.
Jeju Hiking Gear Rental Specialist: Oshare Airport Main Branch Review
Last year, we rented hiking gear but could not hike because access to the trail was restricted, so we had no choice but to return everything without using it. This time, we used Oshare again.
When trail access is restricted, you can extend or change your rental schedule. In our case, we chose to change our schedule and were able to rebook as long as it was within one year.
One of the best things about Oshare is that you do not necessarily have to visit a store location in person. You can choose to pick up or return your gear near Hallasan. This is a great option for travelers using public transportation or for those whose itinerary makes it inconvenient to go back and forth between branches.

Hallasan Early-Morning Pickup Service
You can also apply to pick up your gear near Hallasan before your hike.
This option is especially helpful if, the day before your hike, you are staying in areas like Seongsan, Hallim, Hyeopjae, or Geumneung — locations that are a bit far from both the Airport Main Branch and the Seogwipo Branch. In that case, using the Hallasan pickup service can help you save money and time.
Hallasan pickup hours:
- OPEN 05:30
- CLOSE 08:00
For detailed conditions and how to apply, please refer to the official website.
