Your tour guide greets you in your hotel, and transfer to Siheung elementary school. Enjoy the unspoiled beauty of South Korea's first and largest natural UNESCO World Heritage. The first opened Olle trail on the island, so thus named Olle Route 1. The trail of craters and sea lies on the eastern edge of Jejudo. The trail features a colorful patchwork of small farmlands surrounded by lava stone walls, salt farm, small villages with their friendly people, fishing ports, beaches, and Seongsan Ilchulbong, one of three UNESCO World Natural Heritage sites on Jeju island. It is the island's largest tuff cone, surrounded on three sides by the ocean rising 182m strait from the water. Your adventure begins by climbing this steep cone up to the spectacular crater surrounded by 99 basalt pinnacles which looks like crown from a distance and reflects marvelous scenery. The land shifts upward and into farmland and finally to the seaside. These quick shifts in topography allow you to enjoy both inland and ocean vistas.
