From Cheonjeyeon Falls, you can trek the short distance to Jungmun Beach, South Korea's world-class surf spot.

Jeju Island 3 Days 2 Nights Tour: Day 2

Set your alarm clocks early - day 2 of your Jeju Island 3 days 2 nights tour will start a little bit early…

Seongsan Ilchulbong

Seongsan Ilchulbong is cone-shaped land formation on the water, formed from the eruption of a prehistoric underwater volcano. It is also known as 'Sunrise Peak' because this is where you can catch some of the most scenic sunrises you'll find anywhere in the world, hence the need for an early start. It’s a bit of an uphill trek, about 20-minutes long, and it can get chilly in the morning so dress appropriately.

Seopjikoji Coast

This life-sized gingerbread house, known as the 'All-In House' is one of the many attractions you'll find on the Seopjikoji Coast.

Located a short drive away from the Seongsan Ilchulbong is the breathtaking coastal treasure that is Seopjikoji Coast. This volcanic terrain features otherworldly rock cliff formations and panoramic vistas of the coast. There are also some very interesting buildings atop the cape, including the life-sized gingerbread house known as the 'All-In House'. If you are willing to take a short trek, you can head up to the lighthouse, where you'll get the best views of the coast below and the Sunrise Peak a little bit ahead.

If it's warm enough, you can lay out a blanket on the open field for what is probably the most picturesque breakfast (or brunch) of your life.

Manjanggul Cave

Manjanggul Cave is a lava tube, formed from a volcanic eruption over 300,000 years ago, and is mere minutes away from Seopjikji Coast. Though there are many lava tubes on the area, many of them are closed off either because they are too small for humans to fit or because they have not been cleared for safety. The actual area that you can visit is a 1-km (0.7 mile) long cave where you'll find interesting stalactite and stalagmite formations. You'll also find massive lava columns, one even as high as 7 meters (23 ft).

At the end of your visit, make sure to stop by the museum to learn more about the history of the cave!

Hamdeok Beach
