Highlights
  • Woljeongri Beach - Make your way to Woljeongri beach, you can sit in a nice local cafe and enjoy picturesque landscapes enjoying coffee. The emerald color ocean with a breeze will refresh you.
  • Haenyeo Museum - Haenyeo refers to female divers who dive into the ocean water to gather various shellfish, seaweed, etc, without using any underwater diving equipment. When diving underwater, a haenyeo carries only a pair of goggles, a round ball-like tube to keep her balance, and a basket to put her collections in. Such women involved in the fishing industry are known to be scattered all around Jeju-do, Korea, Japan, and Russia.

Jeju-do has established the Jeju Haenyeo Museum to introduce to the world the unique activities and culture of Jejudo’s haenyeo female divers. Exhibition Hall 1 is entitled “Haenyeo Diver’s Life” and has a restoration of a traditional haenyeo’s home and her meals. Also on display, to show a more realistic view into their daily lives, are the various utensils used by female divers.

  • Seongsan Ilchulbong - 60mins Trekking – Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. Located on the eastern end of Jejudo Island, there is a huge crater at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. The crater is about 600m in diameter and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, it looks like a gigantic crown. While the southeast and north sides are cliffs, the northwest side is a verdant grassy hill that is connected to the Seongsan Village. The ridge provides an ideal spot for walks and for horse riding as well.

The sunrise from the crater is magnificent. Also, the Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak surrounded by bright yellow colored canola flowers in the spring is truly a sight to behold.

  • Ilchul Land - Ilchul Land & Land Micheon Cave is a place where you can experience the beauty of nature, located at the point where a new sun rises. Among the 15 cave groups on Jeju Island, Micheon Cave is situated in the southeastern part and stands as one of the representative cave groups, being one of the most important caves on the island. The vast interior extends to 1.7km, but for safety reasons, only a 365m section is currently open to the public.

Micheon Cave is renowned for its impressive scale and majestic width, featuring irregular blocks of lava and lava stalactites within. When the rain stops and the cave becomes quiet, the sound of water flowing and dripping in the cave adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the underground cavern. The cave’s interior is sufficiently cool, making it easy to forget the hot summer outside while exploring its depths.

Additionally, you can enjoy an aroma foot bath which is a must-try experience. It is excellent to soothe the tired feet of travelers.

Cultural and sightseeing tour of Jeju island - We used Core travel for three days to cover the main sights of Jeju . The east,south and west tours were well planned and we ate something different for lunch on each tour . Henry was a patient and knowledgeable guide.

Recommend it - Really nice experience. All went smooth from boking to hotel drop off. We got good information, good service and the guide speak good English. We like he ate with us so he shows how to eat and other table customs. Ending the tour with a foot batch was ideal after all the walking.

Great company! - I ended up booking this trip direct with the tour company because Viator wouldn't let me reserve for only 1 person. The tour company also provides a discount if you book two or more tours together with them (but have to pay in cash on the day of the first tour). I went during the off season, and they worked with me (via WhatsApp) as a solo traveler to secure dates that had other travelers (so I wouldn't have to pay extra for a private tour). They picked me up promptly and we began the tour. We were in a nice van and had 5 travelers. This day we had both a driver and a guide, they both spoke English and were incredible guides. They co-led the various stops throughout the day. First stop was a beach, then we headed to the woman diver museum - super interesting. Next was lunch, and they picked an incredible authentic local spot. Later was the volcano cone summit, which had beautiful views. Then we went to a lava cave (the most famous one is temporarily closed due to a rock fall, so we went to a different one). At the lava cave we also did a foot bath which was nice. Overall, the tour was very relaxing and the guides did a wonderful job. I'd highly recommend this company for touring Jeju.

Reliable tour - Very worth it because you get to visit Manjanggul Cave and we got to eat black pork and good fish. The Haenyeo Museum shows a very important aspect of Jeju culture (women divers) and the last stop gives everyone an opportunity to improve health through a foot bath. Nicole was also a good and informative tour guide. My only suggestion would be to help the tour members manage their speed at Manjanggul Cave because it's very beautiful yet can be slippery.

Great food, great scenery, great guides! - The tour was amazing! Seeing the Manjanggul caves was a treat and seeing sides of Jeju we ordinarily would never venture too - esp taking us to a local restaurant where our guides had called ahead so the food was already waiting. (Food was a 10/10 with a fish option available for those who don’t eat meat) The view from the sunrise peak was also phenomenal and they had timed it so we were there at a perfect time of day to see the Haenyeo divers. We didn’t know what to expect with the foot bath at the end but it was the perfect end to the tour after the hike. The real highlight of the tour were our guides Nicole and Henry. From pick-up to time spent in each place, they had meticulously organised everything. Nothing felt rushed and they really patiently and kindly answered all of our questions. They gave us tips of what to do in Jeju after the tour and were honestly so funny, it made the hours fly by. They really made our trip super special and we couldn’t be more thankful. I wouldn’t hesitant to recommend this to anyone coming to Jeju - it’s a must!

Good, but can be better. - Our tour guide (Jin) and driver (Mr. Kim) were great. They were punctual, patient and obliging. Jin was also very generous in sharing his personal stories so that we could better appreciate the Korean and Jeju culture. We're giving 4 stars because we think the itinerary can be improved. Given that it's billed as a UNESCO tour, 60 minutes at Seongsan Ilchulbong was really too rushed, and 90 minutes at Ilchul Land was way too long.
