Jeju · SeogwipoNature's Crown
🧭Visit info
A majestic fortress rising from the sea at the eastern tip of Jeju. The 20-minute hike to the top might take your breath away, but don't worry. The endless blue ocean and Jeju's hills cheer you on with every turn. At the summit, a massive green crater unfolds like a giant stadium. Its grandeur makes all your worries feel small. On the way down, you might hear the whistling sounds of 'Haenyeo' (female divers), the mothers of the sea.
⭐Highlights
Green Crater Bowl
99 rock peaks surround the crater like a crown. Mysterious on foggy days, dazzling green on sunny days. Promises the best panoramic view of your life.
Haenyeo Performance
Head down to the sea at 1:30 or 3:00 PM. Watch real-life 'Mermaid Grandmas' diving without gear. Freshly caught seafood is a bonus!
