It was an unforgettable excursion! The program is very eventful, you will definitely not be bored. Everything is very well thought out and organized. The landscapes are breathtaking, the cozy walks are not tiring at all, and the history of the places is amazing. We enjoyed this day with all our hearts and it will definitely remain in our memory forever. This day was especially brightened by the guide Elin @redcapelin. She was always with us at every step, told us a lot of interesting information, organized quizzes with gifts and fed us delicious Korean snacks on the way 🥰 told us where the best photo zones are and took wonderful photos for us to remember this wonderful day. A very positive and good-natured person, it is always very pleasant when a guide is so passionate about his work, it improves the mood. So I boldly recommend 👍🏻 Thank you @redcapelin for this wonderful day! We are sincerely grateful for your activity and kindness❤️❤️❤️

We recently embarked on a tour of Jeju Island, and despite the bad weather, it turned out to be a great experience.
Our guide was exceptional, providing engaging stories and insights about the island's history and culture, which made the experience even more enriching. Although the rain, hail and wind challenged our plans, the itinerary was well-structured, allowing us to enjoy the sights without feeling rushed.
One of the standout features of the tour was the chance to witness the incredible Haenyo women divers. These remarkable women, known for their free-diving skills, showcased their unique tradition of harvesting seafood without the use of oxygen tanks. Watching them dive gracefully into the waves was both inspiring and humbling.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone eager to explore the beauty and culture of Jeju Island, even if the weather doesn't cooperate. It's a fantastic blend of adventure, relaxation, and learning that will leave you with lasting memories!
