Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I bring the tangerines I picked to the airport?
Domestic Flights (e.g., to Seoul/Busan): Yes! You can bring fresh fruit on domestic flights in your carry-on or checked luggage.
International Flights: No. Most countries (USA, Japan, Australia, etc.) strictly prohibit bringing fresh fruit across borders to prevent pests. Eat them all before you leave Korea!
Do I need to make a reservation?
For popular places like Analogue Citrus Farm, reservations are recommended on weekends. However, most larger farms in Seogwipo accept walk-ins. It is best to check their Instagram or call ahead.
What is the best month for tangerine picking?
The peak season is November to January. If you visit in late winter (February/March), you might pick “Hallabong” or “Cheonhyehyang” (premium citrus varieties) instead, which costs slightly more.
