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!
