Jeju is a sort of Korean Corsica, or mix of Sicily and Brittany: a volcanic island, around a majestic volcano, the highest mountain in Korea, but also an island in the South, tropical with palm trees. It is also said to be run by women, the “haenyos”, because it is they who dive to bring back the particular richness of the island, its seafood which can only be picked by hand. These women are becoming rare, they are aging, but there are still authentic places to find them.
We offer this tour by car, the only way to discover the small beaches, village streets, forest and other marvels hidden in the island.
The tour is not the same depending on whether your hotel is in Jeju-city, in the North, or towards Seogwipo, in the South, your taste and what you expect from the tour, the time you stay in Jeju, what you may have already seen, and also the weather, which changes very quickly in Jeju because of the wind. We often need to choose between go East or West of the island.
Here is an example of what we can visit, if we start from Seogwipo, going East :

• Jeongbqng fqlls, that falls directly in the sea.
• Seongeup Traditionnal village, one of the most impressive in Korea with its fortress around, still habited.
• Southside road very close to the beach. We may see some “haenyos” fishing.
