Itinerary

Your day, in order

Total tour time approx. 6 hours · ends back at your pickup point by around 5:00 PM.

  1. 1

    Hotel Pickup 10:30 – 11:05

    Our guide picks you up at your selected hotel or pickup point in the Jungmun Tourist Complex, Seogwipo E-mart, or Heyy Seogwipo Hotel.

  2. 2

    Sunrise Land — Micheon Cave

    Step into Micheon Cave, formed by lava flows thousands of years ago, and marvel at its mysterious formations. Cool and shadowy inside, it feels like entering Jeju's geological heart. Ilchulland offers peaceful walking paths with artistic sculptures and themed gardens — a perfect blend of natural wonder and curated beauty.

  3. 3

    Haenyeo Women Diver Show UNESCO

    Watch Jeju's legendary sea women dive into the ocean without oxygen tanks in a powerful live performance. Their strength and connection to the sea is inspiring and humbling — it's not just a show, it's living history in motion. ※ If the show is canceled due to sea conditions, we visit Gwangchigi Beach instead.

  5. 5

    Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak UNESCO

    Climb this UNESCO World Heritage volcanic crater for breathtaking views of Jeju's eastern coastline. As one of the island's most iconic landmarks and a true symbol of Jeju, it's a must-visit photo spot. The emerald sea below and the dramatic crater above create a view that's nothing short of awe-inspiring. About 60 minutes for a relaxed climb.

The guide, Nicole, was super nice and always helpful. We booked the two day tour and we were always lucky that she was always our guide for both of the tours. We were able to visit and explore all the main attractions here in this beautiful island!

Incredible excursion! The places are magnificent and everything is very well organized! The day before, a WhatsApp group was created to communicate with the guide. Elin-Jeju mama was amazing throughout the entire excursion, from her explanations to her atmosphere and energy!!! I highly recommend this tour!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between this tour and the East Course from Jeju City?
Both visit Jeju's east-side highlights. This tour picks you up from Jungmun & Seogwipo hotels in the late morning (10:30–11:05 AM) and runs a slightly shorter, more relaxed itinerary so you can enjoy your hotel breakfast and avoid an early start.
Where exactly will you pick me up?
In front of your hotel lobby entrance for the listed Jungmun hotels, or at the designated bus stop for Jeju ICC and E-mart Seogwipo. Please wait at least 10 minutes before pickup time — our guide will hold a "YEHA" sign.
Is lunch included?
No — and on purpose. We don't lock you into a fixed restaurant. You have free time in Seongsan to grab whatever you like (light snacks, seafood pancakes, local meals) at your own pace.
What if the Haenyeo Show is canceled?
The show depends on sea conditions. If it's canceled, we visit Gwangchigi Beach instead — a stunning shallow tidal beach with views back to Seongsan Ilchulbong.
Will the tour be canceled if there are only a few people?
No. Unless there are dangerous weather conditions, the tour will proceed even if only one customer is booked. In 2023, we canceled only twice due to heavy rain and three times due to heavy snow.
Is YEHA a reliable company?
