Sanbangsan Mountain is the result of violent volcanic activity some 700,000 to 800,000 years ago and is in fact a huge body of lava. The cliffs on the southern side of the lava dome are marked with a rich variety of curious formations such as weathering pits and talus scree slopes, some of which are as high as 200m. As its name 'sanbang' – literally meaning 'a cave inside a mountain' – suggests, this mountain contains a cave, which is located about 150m above sea level and has a spectacular view out over the ocean. Due to its close location to the sea and its high elevation, the peak is often ringed with clouds. The upper slopes of the mountain have their own distinct climatic conditions and are protected for their value for botanical research.

- Cheonjeyeon Waterfall
According to a legend, Cheonjeyon Falls means “the pond of God” where nymphs descend to take a bath. The first cascade of Cheonjeyon Waterfall is 22 m high and the water forms a pond 21 m in depth. The water flows farther along to form the second cascade of 30 m high. Up from Cheonjeyon Falls is the stunning arch bridge Seonimkyo, which is also called Seven Nymphs Bridge. Water springs from a spot between the precipice of the waterfall and the lower clay layer. From the ceiling of a cave located east of the first waterfall, the water drops and grows into several streams of water. Since it is gushing out of stony ground, the water has been used for curing diseases as well as for drinking. From ancient times, people have believed that they can recover from any disease if they stand under a waterfall on either the Buddhist All Souls Day or Cheoseo Day (at the end of August). Right next to the falls is Yeomiji Botanical Gardens and many other tourist attractions.
Horses can be seen all around Jeju island. Horses were the most preferred gifts to be presented to the King from Jeju because the island was popularly called “the pasturage of horses”. Horse riding on a Jeju trip is something that should not be missed. The horses used for riding are known as Jejusanma and are of mixed breeds. Experiencing actual horse riding will make you feel closer to horses. If the weather condition doesn't allow outdoor activity, you will visit Horse Museum instead.

When it opened in 1988, Seogwipo Submarine was the first of its kind in Asia the third in the world. Seogwipo Submarine offers safe undersea tours in its recently acquired state of the art submarine from Finland. Munseom, where the submarine travels, is home to outstanding coral reefs, colorful schools of fish, and rich seaweed. The exquisite landscape makes it one of the most beautiful places to dive as well. Going deep into the 40 meter sea-bed, visitors can see countless fish, rare iridescent coral reefs, and a surreal-looking shipwreck with schools of fish surrounding it.
The ride starts with a ferry to nearby Munseom Island, infamous for its many bugs! The island has a pristine marine ecosystem and its soft coral reef is not only beautiful, but the world’s largest, regarded by many as a scuba-diver’s paradise.
At the first stop a local scuba diver attracts the fish to the submarine by dispersing feed. One of the most common fish you will see around Jeju is the damsel fish, or “jaridom” in Korean, famed in the “hoetjip,” or raw fish restaurants around the island. At the next stop is visit a 40-meter-deep shipwreck.
Finally, the submarine stops next to a beautiful red soft coral reef wall. The blue underwater light, previously covering passengers’ faces, turns red due to the yellowish red light as reflected by the coral. It is interesting to note that the corals are living animals which grow by only a centimeter every decade.
To allow passengers to take in the views from two score meters under, the submarine stops four times on the trip. Three of these are best seen from the right, while the last is best seen from the left.
Over 20 years of technical knowhow and safe operation (in fact, the longest submarine tour without a single accident on record) make Seogwipo Submarine a must-see attraction on Jeju Island.
