Enjoy a comfortable tour of the UNESCO area SOUTH of Jeju Island in just one day! Experience Hallasan Mountain. Jeju Island is a beautiful and mysterious island designated as a Biosphere Reserve (MAB), UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, and UNESCO Global Geopark, all aimed at conserving its rich biodiversity and geological wonders.

Your tour offers a chance to hike Mount Hallasan, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, and visit other UNESCO Geoparks like Jusangjeolli and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, presenting the beauty of the southern part of Jeju Island. With admission fees included, licensed guides, and air-conditioned vehicles, you can enjoy the tour comfortably and immerse yourself in the wonders of Jeju Island.

Start your day with a hike on the Eoseungsangak Trail on Hallasan, the easiest hiking course. Hike for about 40 minutes to 1.2 hours, experiencing the beautiful nature of Hallasan. Also, Hallasan is designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Experience hiking in such a place is rare.

Next, visit the O’sulloc Tea Museum. The vast green tea fields stretch out, accompanied by a small museum and the Innisfree House. Taste fresh green tea and explore various green tea products. Learn how to enjoy and relax at the Osulloc Tea Museum.

Continue to Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff, formed as a result of rapid cooling from flowing lava and subsequent contraction. The thick lava columns resemble a series of overlapping hexagonal stone pillars surrounding the area like a folding screen, allowing visitors to enjoy the mystery of nature.

The waves crashing against these pillars provide a breathtaking spectacle, sometimes creating a show where they soar to heights of over 20 meters, captivating onlookers. The Jusangjeolli Cliffs in Jungmun and Daepo Coast boast heights of 30 to 40 meters and a width of approximately 1 kilometer, making them the largest in Korea and designated as Natural Monument No. 443 in Jeju Island.

Visit Oedolgae Rock, standing at a height of about 20 meters and with a width of 7 to 10 meters. This unique coastal attraction was formed by the erosive action of waves on lava flows from volcanic eruptions, creating vertical sea cliffs and sea caves.

According to legend, the Oedolgae Rock was formed when a grandmother, who turned into stone while waiting for her grandfather who never returned from the sea, became the rock itself.

Finally, visit Cheonjiyeon Falls, meaning "pond where the sky meets the land," is a picturesque pond created by the convergence of sky and land. The waterfall has a length of 22 meters, with the pond below reaching a depth of 20 meters, earning its name as the place where the sky and land meet.

Along the path, see numerous dolharubang (stone grandfather statues) and ducks. The walk along the flat terrain is comfortable and easy.
