Jeju Island boasts a UNESCO-recognized lave tube cave system.
Jeju Island's Manjanggul Lava Tube Cave system is one of world's longest, winding nearly 4.6 miles (7.4 kilometers) underground. Step into Manjanggul — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the 75-foot-tall tunnel (23 meters), adorned with shelves, stalactites, stalagmites and cones, all made of lava, and discover why it's one of the best things to do on Jeju Island.
Head to Sunrise Peak for breathtaking views.
On Jeju Island's extreme eastern tip, Seongsan Ilchulbong, or Sunrise Peak, draws early risers with a pre-dawn spectacle of rainbow sherbet skies. The dormant volcanic peak is worth climbing any time of day for its views of the sea and Korea's islets. At the top of the steep stairway you can peer into the bowl-shaped crater.
Topped with mushroom-shaped hats, carved with large noses and round bellies, Jeju Island's traditional dol hareubang, or grandfather stones, ward off evil spirits. The beloved statues are an important part of Jeju's cultural heritage. See a collection of 48 ancient dol hareubang at the Jeju Stone Park, near the Jeju Island cruise port. Contemporary grandfather stones stand watch throughout the island.
Among the best things to do on your cruise to Jeju Island is dining at traditional haenyeo houses, where the fish are caught by women who dive up to 33 feet (10 meters) deep without oxygen tanks. Locally raised black pork tastes delicious grilled over a fire and dipped in anchovy sauce. Nibble too on Jeju Island's pear-shaped hallabong tangerines.
Dol hareubang and the conical Hallasan mountain peak symbolize Jeju Island and are celebrated in the form of statuettes, jewelry, key rings, and good luck charms at shops across the island. Green tea, rice wine, and chocolates made with hallabong tangerines are popular souvenirs, as are cosmetics made with local organic flowers, tea, and crushed lava stone.
