2-Day Jeju Island Nature & Culture Highlights

Maze Land is Jeju’s unique theme park of three mazes built from volcanic stone, inspired by nature, wind, and the island’s haenyeo divers.

Visitors can explore basalt labyrinths shaped like typhoons or stone walls, visit the Puzzle Museum, and enjoy peaceful forest trails surrounded by camellias and ancient trees.

Seongsan Ilchulbong (Korean: 성산일출봉), also known as Sunrise Peak, is a stunning volcanic formation located on the eastern side of Jeju Island. Rising to a height of 182 meters, this natural wonder features a volcanic crater at its summit, offering breathtaking views of the island's landscapes.

Seongsan Ilchulbong is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listing under Jeju Island and its lava tubes, recognized for its geological and scenic significance. A visit to this magnificent peak promises an unforgettable encounter with Jeju's natural beauty.

Umutgae Coast (우뭇개 해안) offers dramatic ocean views and a glimpse into Jeju’s living tradition. Here, the Haenyeo divers perform their afternoon free-diving show, emerging from the sea with baskets of fresh shellfish — a rare encounter with the island’s true spirit.

Since ancient times, this place was known as Tweksaemi — in standard Korean, Doyaksaem (道藥泉), meaning a spring of exceptionally pure and healing water. The name of Yakchunsa Temple originates from this ancient designation, and today the temple stands on a hillside offering magnificent views of the vast Pacific Ocean.

Hallim Park is one of the largest parks and botanical gardens on Jeju Island, known for its rich collection of subtropical plants and diverse natural zones. It’s a place where you can explore unique lava caves, relax amid lush greenery, and experience the island’s nature all in one setting.

The Spirited Garden is one of the largest bonsai (punjae) gardens in the world, designed as a space of tranquility, contemplation, and harmony. It features hundreds of crafted living artworks surrounded by ponds, stone arrangements, and a carefully designed landscape.

OSULLOC Tea Museum on Jeju Island showcases the history and culture of Korean tea amid the island’s vast organic tea fields. Once barren volcanic land, the area was transformed into Korea’s largest organic tea farm. Today, the museum is one of Jeju’s most popular attractions, offering tea exhibitions, tastings, and unique tea products.
