Day 1
Jeju Volcanic Island
You will arrive at Jeju Island, where you will be met by your tour guide. The first stop on today’s tour is Yongduam Rock, a rock formation that resembles a dragon head with an open mouth soaring 100m above sea level, creating harmony with the deep violet-blue sea. Next you will trek the Orum, a parasitic volcano cone on the top of a mountain where there is a large, deep tunnel-shaped crater (during the winter, you will visit the Natural History Museum instead), Optional tour: Motorbike show where you can see an aerial stunt performance ($10 USD).
Day 2
Jeju Volcanic Island
You will begin today's tour by visiting Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, a three-tiered waterfall surrounded by lush foliage and also named the Pond of God. To the east there is a cave where cold water pours from the ceiling to create a waterfall. The water from the first waterfall becomes the second and third waterfalls and then flows into the sea. A legend about seven nymphs and a mountain god is tied to this wondrous place. The next stop is Gyulimseong, a citrus farm and museum with nearly 1000 wild plants and flowers growing in the basalt volcanic rock. Optional tour: A pleasure boat cruise in Seogwipo where you can enjoy the view from both above and below the sea ($12 USD). Many isolated and unexplored regions including islands and Seogwipo’s beautiful coastal scenery are viewed from the boat.
Next you will visit O’Sulloc Tea House, a museum dedicated to green tea. The museum is the shape of a green tea cup, seeking to harmonize the cultures of the West and East and past traditions with the modern world.
