Manjanggul Cave, a World Natural Heritage site, will reopen after May 30, 2026. The total length of Manjanggul Lava Tube is about 7.4km. It is a lava tube that is partially multilayered. The main tunnel’s width is 18m and its height is 23m. It is one of the largest lava tubes in the world. There are many lava tubes in the world, but Manjanggul Lava Tube has a significant meaning in that it was formed thousands of years ago, and it is very well preserved. Therefore, it is very valuable to researchers and scientists. Due to the sinking of the ceiling, there are 3 entrances. The one that tourists can use is the second entrance and they are only allowed to go as far as 1km into it. There are various cave formations in Lava Tunnel in Manjanggul Lava Tube, such as stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, lava tubes, lava shelves, and lava rafts. In particular, the lava column that is located at the end of the tourist area is about 7.6m high and is known as the highest lava column in the world.
(When Departing from JEJU Cruise Terminal or Jeju city): Jeju Stone Culture Park is a space of history and culture that compiles the stone culture, Seolmundae Halmang myth, and folk culture that have become the roots of Jeju's creation and Jeju human culture. The legend of Seolmundae Halmang, the goddess who created the island of Jeju, and the five generals, is revealed through various stone cultural relics and materials on the 300,000 pyeong wide Gotjawal land. It was created as a space where Jeju residents and tourists can directly encounter and view the lifestyle of Jeju residents through an exhibition space. By taking advantage of Jeju's identity, locality, and artistry, Tamna's formation process, Tamna's mythology, history, and folk culture are revealed. To create the most beautiful educational space by organizing it by era and pass it on to our descendants. This is a belief that the planner of Stone Culture Park has never forgotten for a moment.
(When Departing from JEJU Cruise Terminal or Jeju city or Seogwipo Gangjeong Cruise Terminal or Seogwipo City ): The entire village, which preserves the living site of the people of old Jeju, has been designated as an Important Folklore Cultural Heritage. Though it can be considered a folk village of sorts, it differs from regular folk villages in that people still live in it to this day. The village residents act as volunteer guides to offer visitors all sorts of information. The Saw-leaf Zelkova and Japanese hackberry in the center of the village are worth taking time to see. You can experience wearing Hanbok, a traditional Korean costume, at Jeju Folk Village.
(When Departing from JEJU Cruise Terminal or Jeju city or Seogwipo Gangjeong Cruise Terminal or Seogwipo City ) A short drive from Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak will take you to Cape Seopjikoji. The name comes from the Jeju dialect for a “Cape of Small Land” due to its peculiar cliff formation that protrudes into the ocean. The picturesque harmony of the hill and ocean attract tourists all year round. You might even be able to sight Jeju ponies grazing on the field of grass.Walking northeast along the cliff, you will arrive at Bulgeunoreum Parasitic Cone, offering an exquisite view of a white lighthouse with the dark blue sea in the background. Additional noteworthy attractions of Cape Seopjikoji are the Glasshouse and Yumin Art Gallery, two masterpieces designed by world-renowned architect Ando Tadao. The two buildings blend in remarkably well with the surrounding nature.
(When Departing from JEJU Cruise Terminal or Jeju city or Seogwipo Gangjeong Cruise Terminal or Seogwipo City ) Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, a landmark attraction of Jeju, was formed about 5,000 years ago from an eruption of magma on the ocean floor. It is especially famous as a sunrise viewing spot, known to be one of the top ten exquisite sceneries of Jeju Island.Besides viewing the sunrise, Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone is also known to be an excellent trekking spot. The Seongsan-Ojo Trail connects two villages by crossing the peak. Another popular trail, the Jijil Trail, offers a closer look at the UNESCO-designated geopark as well as Jeju’s local culture. Walking along one of these paths is recommended to really experience the area; walking all the way to the summit offers views of both the vast volcanic crater in the center and the blue ocean surrounding the area. To complete your trip, head to Seongsanpo Port to watch haenyeo (female divers) at work.
(When Departing from JEJU Cruise Terminal or Jeju city) Jeju haenyeo are the strong mothers of Jeju and the spiritual pillars of Jeju residents. Also, the life of the Jeju haenyeo community is a model that humanity should aim for. Jeju haenyeo formed a merit-based community and democratically decided through discussions. She not only cared for the elderly and infirm, such as Halmang Badang and Geseok, and raised funds with her material profits to contribute to society, such as villages and schools. She also came up with various contraptions to coexist with the sea, such as beach sweeping, gold snatching, and dialysis. Jeju haenyeo culture was recognized for its value and was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on November 30, 2016 (local time).
(When Departing from JEJU Cruise Terminal or Jeju city) If you walk along Jeju Olle Course 19, you will come across Hamdeok Beach, which has an emerald jewel. Hamdeok Beach, located in Hamdeok-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, is also called ‘Hamdeok Seoubong Beach’ because of Oreum (Seoubong Peak) standing right next to the beach. It is only 20km away from Jeju Airport, but the moment you arrive here, you feel like you are in another country. The tall palm trees that welcome you from the entrance, the emerald sea that contrasts with the white sand, the clear water and white waves that make even the sand and seaweed transparent are like that. Among the numerous beaches in Jeju Island, if you choose three places with the most beautiful sea color, it is definitely Hyeopjae Beach, Gimnyeong Beach, and Hamdeok Beach. The water is clear and the water depth is shallow, so it is also a good summer resort for families. The west side of the beach is connected by an overpass, so you can experience
(When Departing from SEOGWIPO Gangjeong Cruise Terminal or Seogwipo city) Jeongbang Falls is one of the Jejudo Island’s top 3 falls, along with Cheonjiyeon Falls and Cheonjeyeon Falls. It is the only fall in Korea where water falls directly into the sea. The fall is 23m high and the two streams of waterfall that fall down the black cliff create a thrilling sound and a wonderful view. Moreover, the steep cliffs and old pine trees around the fall create a picturesque view, and this view was chosen as one of Ten Scenic Sights of Yeongju with the name of “Jeongbanghapok.” It is said that the words ‘Seobulgwacha’ are engraved on the cliffs of Jeongbang Falls.
(When Departing from SEOGWIPO Gangjeong Cruise Terminal or Seogwipo city) Oedolgae, the starting point of Jeju Olle Trail Course 7, is a stone pillar that rises 20m high from the sea. Standing alone on the sea, it was named ‘Oedolgae’. It is also called ‘General Stone’ and ‘Grandma Rock’, and there is a story that General Choi Yeong decorated this rock like a general when fighting against the Yuan Dynasty and made the enemy self-destruct. For the origin of the name 'Grandma Rock', read the legend below. Not only the visible rocks, but also the life of Jeju people waiting for the people of the sea can be seen.

Mr Lee was a fantastic tour guide. He took photos of us at every stop and answered all of our questions. Be sure to bring water with you as the tour lasts the whole day. Also bring umbrellas as the weather might change from sunshine to rain very quickly. Mr Lee adapted the tour schedule efficiently to cater for changes in the weather and we still got to see everything.

It was not a good experience because the tour offered a guide and the we only got a driver who could not speak English at all, it was almost impossible to communicate with him. He could not share with us any information about what we visited. He seem to be nice man, just could not speak much English. This is not the only guide we contracted in our trip to Corea through Viator, we booked about 7 tours and in half of them we had the same issue of driver/ guides that could speak very little English.
Hello. Claudia My name is Hong-min LEE. Manager of jeju Namyang Traver. Thank you for your review. We are doing our best to showcase the beauty of Jeju to many customers. However, we are sincerely sorry that this experience was not a pleasant memory for you. We will strive even harder to bring joy and inspiration to our customers. Thank you very much. Have a good day
Overall very good service! I ended up booking at the very last second (the morning of) and was still able to get a private tour of Jeju Island. I had Mr. Lee as my driver, and as soon as I met up he gave me a run-down of where I want to go. Because I booked last second, I originally thought it would be a set tour itinerary, but we were able to plan and revise the itinerary on the go - making it a fully custom tour! He also worked around things I wanted to do and how long I ended up taking at each place to ensure that I was still able to see some attractions in time like the Haenyeo Divers performance. Price might be a little steep, but if you're able to comfortably afford it and don't want to be with other tourists then I would recommend!

It was a fantastic tour. Very taken advantage of and a perfect way to see part of the island if you don't have a car. The experience of seeing the Haenyo has been wonderful. Our guide, Mr. Lee, has been very friendly throughout and has made our trip more enjoyable. A highly recommended tour.

Mr. Hong was fantastic! We saw so many places and he was very knowledgeable and was so pleasant (plus a great photographer)! He adjusted our itinerary based on our preferences (we ended up going to two waterfalls and the Lonely Rock as well) and gave us great recommendations, including to hike the volcanic tuff cone instead of the free trail around it. We were so happy to have spent the day with him and would definitely recommend this to others.

Mr. Ko was very punctual and efficient. More than a tour guide, he is a driver. He speaks basic English and uses a translation app to communicate. What we enjoyed the most was visiting the houses where the K-drama Welcome to Samdal-ri was filmed. We couldn’t see the women divers’ show because of the rain. Most of the trip was sunny, very hot, and very humid. The umbrellas provided by Mr. Ko were a lifesaver.

Mr. Jo was very friendly and efficient. He is not a guide, he is a driver who does not speak English but uses the translator and takes you to everything you have to see and takes amazing photos. It was a very nice day and we could see everything. The van was large and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Mr. Ko was an exceptional driver. He got us around Jeju showing us a bunch of tourist and non typical tourist places. It made our trip and to that point was our FAVORITE tour. He made it truly a memorable event. Thank you for taking us to your recommended restaurant for us....another memorable meal and wonderful time. The family all would love to do this tour again sometime with him.
