Upon calling at Jeju, your tour guide greets you at the cruise terminal and takes you on a tour of Jeju. Visit Bunjae Artpia featuring more than 2000 Bunjae trees of 100 different species and get to learn about all the different ways that Bunjae is created.
Jisatgae is the spectacular 1km stretch of coastline with hexagonal rock columns, bizarre formations resulted from rapid cooling and contraction of lava. They are definitely one of the more mysterious and beautiful. The surging waves crashing into the rocks are remarkably refreshing. and you may feel all of your frustration completely washed away by the wave
Later, experience "Dokkebidoro" or a more terrifying name "goblin's roads". Optical illusion that makes it's appear to be sloping upwards when in fact it runs downhill. And 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.
Tour also includes Dongmunsijang, a mix of a covered and an open-air bazaar that is full of cloths, souvenirs, food, distinct smells, and people. In addition, you will find mounds of colorful peppers and spices, enormous heads of grinning whole pigs' heads and an endless variety of fishes, and elderly women with machetes hacking at fresh fish and packaging it for customers.
After this wonderful day exploring the fascinating culture and natural wonders of Jeju, return to the ship in time for your departure.
