day
- ANDOK VALLEY is a great place for a short walk due to its
great scenery. Andok Valley is acknowledged to be the most
beautiful valley on Jeju Island. We will walk through the
cool climate valley whilst rocky cliffs are enveloped around
you and Camelia trees and jorok trees shade you as you go.
- DRAGON HEAD COAST (Yongmori).
These interesting layered sandstone rocks which resemble the
head of a dragon entering the water are open for visitors
in low tide. The layered effect is caused by the blowing wind
and erosion.
- Jeju's unknown fame is for its art and pottery and at the
CLAY POTTERY WORKSHOP you will learn about Clay pottery distinct
to Jeju. A local Jeju potter makes pottery using no glaze
and only burning the pottery once a year in a lava rock kiln,
which produces a darker colour. It is only made like this
on Jeju Island.

15 islets around Jeju and 42 islets between the Korean mainland
and Jeju. We will go to a small Uninhabited Islet during low

the forest part of this islet along with a combination of
tall trees covered with evergreen vines and also wild jungle
and lava fields. This Islet is labeled as a UNESCO Biosphere
Reserve.
