THE HAWAII OF SOUTH KOREA
Off the southern tip of South Korea’s main island lies the volcanic island of Jeju Island. A journey across the sea promises each and every visitor an opportunity to be transported into a world full of traditional folklore, contemporary attractions and countless natural wonders.
From the unusual geological site of Seongsan Ilchulbong to the unique hexagonal basalt columns of Jusangjeolli Cliffs, Jeju Island is home to some of the most awe-inspiring and one-of-a-kind scenery. Jeongbang Falls, one of the few waterfalls in Asia to flow directly into the sea, is also a must-see, offering a wonderful experience to admire the falls and dramatic cliffs, whilst listening to the sound of crashing waves beyond.
As a volcanic island, Jeju Island is famous for its lava tube system, Geomum Oreum. Here, you can hike through the system on three different routes, gaining a close look into the island’s lava tubes and volcanic cones. If you travel beyond Geomum Oreum to Hallim Park, you will witness Ssangyonggul Cave, also known as the Twin Dragon Cave. Explore the unique geological formations of the cave, full of lava tubes, stalactites and stalagmites, amidst its cool year-round temperatures.
Beyond its natural wonders, Jeju is rich in culture and history, with traditional Haenyeo female divers carrying on the centuries-old tradition of harvesting seafood in harmony with the sea. You can also enjoy an array of traditional South Korean cuisine at Dongmun Market, a vibrant market that blends the elements of a street market, night market, traditional market and seafood market.
Jeju Island is a wondrous addition to a tailor-made South Korea holiday. To start planning your trip, speak to our experienced travel specialists today.
