Hamdeok Beach

Travelers booking this experience at Hamdeok Seoubong Beach will be treated to one of Jeju Island’s top three coastal gems. The beach is famous for its soft white sand, calm emerald waters, and gentle waves—perfect for a relaxing stroll, beachcombing, or simply soaking in the sun. The shallow, crystal-clear sea makes it ideal for a refreshing dip or taking scenic photos, especially during low tide when sandbars appear. Just beside the beach rises Seoubong Oreum, a gentle volcanic hill offering one of Jeju’s most scenic trekking experiences. The well-maintained trail leads you through lush greenery to a panoramic summit with breathtaking views of the coastline, the ocean, and surrounding countryside. The contrast of vibrant beach life and tranquil hilltop nature makes this spot unforgettable. Whether you're here for relaxation or adventure, this stop promises a perfect mix of Jeju’s natural beauty—ideal for nature lovers, casual hikers, and beach enthusiasts alike.

At the Haenyeo Museum, travelers will step into the fascinating world of Jeju’s legendary female divers, known as “haenyeo.” Through detailed exhibits, personal stories, and traditional diving gear on display, you’ll gain deep insight into the strength, resilience, and cultural significance of these women who have harvested the sea for generations without the use of breathing equipment. The museum highlights their unique way of life, songs, tools, and how their spirit helped shape Jeju’s identity. It’s an eye-opening experience that connects you to the island’s heritage in a powerful and moving way. After your cultural journey, enjoy a delicious lunch at 12:00, with both Korean specialties and vegetarian options available. The meal is thoughtfully prepared to suit diverse tastes, offering a moment to relax and recharge before continuing your adventure. This visit to the Haenyeo Museum isn’t just educational—it’s a meaningful glimpse into the heart of Jeju Island’s enduring traditions.

Travelers visiting Seongsan Ilchulbong will witness one of Jeju Island’s most iconic and breathtaking natural wonders. Formed by a volcanic eruption over 5,000 years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage site rises dramatically from the sea with a massive crater at its peak. The hike to the top is both invigorating and scenic, offering panoramic views of the ocean, nearby islands, and lush landscapes. The journey is filled with photo opportunities and the reward at the summit is a spectacular view, especially during sunrise. At the base, if time and weather permit, travelers may also get to experience the unique Haenyeo (female diver) performance. These legendary women divers showcase their free-diving skills, diving without oxygen tanks to harvest seafood from the ocean floor—a living piece of Jeju’s cultural heritage. This visit blends natural beauty, light adventure, and cultural tradition, making it a truly enriching stop on the island.
