Day 1 Seoul - Jeju (- - -) 480km
An hour flight places you in the most famous of the 3,300 islands of Korea. Towering over the island is Korea's highest peak, Mt. Halla, an extinct volcano topped by a huge crater. Jejudo was once a place of exile for those who fell out of favor with the Korean court, but it has today become the most popular tourist destination.
Spend this afternoon experiencing a true natural wonder, including Yongduam Rock known as Dragon Head Rock. Perched along the ocean side, it is one of the most unusual rock formations of the island. The submerged body of this oddly shaped is the result of the solidification of flowing lava during a volcanic eruption and is about 30m long and its head with open mouth rising about 10m above the sea, a roaring dragon which is about to ascend from the sea.
Then check out "Dokkebidoro" or a more terrifying name "goblin's roads" and experience a mysterious road where cars in neutral appear to go up a hill, as do bottles or any other easily rolled objects. In fact, the road has a 3 degree downward slant but looks to go uphill because of the surrounding terrain that creates the optical illusion. So, you will check whether the roads really go down.
Afterward, explore
Hallim Park, a subtropical botanical garden that is strongly scented with exotic sentiment. Every turn brings new surprises. You cannot miss out two unusual caves, one has both stalactites and stalagmites in it while the other is the only spot in the world that is actually a cave within a cave.
Day 2 Jeju (B) 110km
Depart on a full day of exploration of Jeju, beginning with a visit to Jisatgae columnar joint, forming an extraordinary and striking cliff face. A spectacular 1km stretch of coastline with hexagonal rock columns, bizarre formations resulted from rapid cooling and contraction of lava, is definitely one of the more mysterious and beautiful spots on the island. The surging ocean smashing against the rocks are remarkably refreshing.
Tour also includes Cheonjiyeon waterfall cascading down a cliff 22m high and 12m wide into a pool inhabited by giant eels and surrounded by lush vegetation. The tour involves a short walk through a subtropical woods, the home to more than 400 individual species of plants and animals. In fact, the diversified biosphere is one of the most unique on the island, making your walk so relaxing and enjoyable - a peaceful way to spend some time with nature.
Experience the heritage of the Jeju people and soak up the local culture in Seongeup folk village where nearly 400 traditional thatched houses are still fully functioning. Scattered among the village are many houses that you can enter yourself and look around. Jeongnang gates are some of good examples that represent a beautiful tradition and culture of this friendly people with No Thief, No Beggar, and No Gate. While not overly exciting, the tour gives you a chance to get a glimpse into some of Jeju's unique culture.
Later, you are treated to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage site of Seongsan Ilchulbong. Known as Sunrise Peak, it is the island's largest tuff cone which is surrounded on three sides by the ocean rising 182 meters strait from the water. You may wish to climb this steep cone up to the spectacular crater. A great for photos every step of the way!
Day 3 Jeju - Seoul (B) 580km
With leisurely time to pack, head towards Jeongbang Waterfall for a superb view of the thundering fall, claiming to cascade directly into the ocean. In fact, the water from Jeongbang actually falls into a small, sheltered cove, and not directly into the ocean. Still, the 23-meter falls are very picturesque with the cliffs, the sea, and several small islands offshore.
Sangumburi is the only Maar in Korea. The access to the main viewing area is very easy. This spectacular crater is well over 2km in circumference, about 650m in diameter and 100m deep in that it could be easily mistaken for a circular stadium. The views in every direction with sprawling eulalia fields, stunning panoramas of the ocean, and volcanic cones dotting the island's landscape are absolutely breathtaking.. Return late this afternoon on a flight to Seoul, and you will be transferred to downtown Seoul.
