Upon calling at Jeju, your tour guide greets you at the cruise terminal and takes you on a tour of Jeju. You will enjoy a sweeping view of Oedolgae, a needle rock standing alone off the cliffy coast holding a sad legend of old fisherman. A group of pine trees and grasses inhabit the top of this needle rock, resembling human hair, gives impression that the old woman with sorrowful eyes and her open mouth still calls her husband.
Tour continues to 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.
Afterward, stop at a spectacular Sangumburi, the only Maar in Korea. The access to the main viewing area is very easy. The 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.

You will then explore colorful Dongmunsijang, one of the most happening places of the city. It is a mix of a covered and an open-air bazaar that offers an unsurpassed chance to really mingle with the local scene and to get a glimpse into the Jejudoian life.
After this wonderful day exploring the fascinating culture and natural wonders of Jeju, return to the ship in time for your departure.
