Day 4 : Hamdeok Beach, Manjanggul Caves, Woljeongri Beach, and a Hedge Maze

Quote of the Day : “I got water in my shoe, gross lava cave water”

Preface : It rained all day

The first thing we did was go to Hamdeok Beach and have breakfast at Cafe Del Moondo (Mundo for us Spanish speakers) on the pier. 

We had chocolate bread with warm ganache inside, a potato quesadilla, and a strawberry juice.

After breakfast we explored the beach area put our feet in freezing cold water

Then we went to Manjanggul Lava Caves. Caves that were carved out by lava flowing through

The ground was really uneven which made walking fun, I never fell, but I did see one guy slip and fall, but he was on the wooden boardwalk. 

We were supposed to go to Seopjikoji and Seongsan Ichulbong Peak, but we decided it wouldn't be much because it was so foggy and rainy. We were also supposed to have lunch at a cafe on Woljeongri Beach, but the wind was blowing really hard and no shops seemed to be open so instead we found a hedge maze!

It was a small one that was only supposed to take 30 minutes but we finished it early. Also side note, there were cats everywhere.

After we finished, we were cold and wet so we went to check into our airbnb. Technically we got there the first time, but it was hidden so we kept driving around following different navigation systems that all brought us to the same spot. The Sinsan Mart. I was about to text the Hostess when my mom asked me to read the sign of the building catty corner to the mart, I sighed and said that I found the airbnb. We decided it would be a good day for a night in so we headed up to the convenience store, bought some ramen, snacks, and drinks and curled up in bed.

Want to travel through time and space? Then take a peek into the underground world of 만장굴 (Manjanggul Cave) will give you a cosmic experience.

The Manjanggul lava tubes are located in 덕천리 (Gimnyeong-ri), 구좌읍 (Gujwaeup), 제주시(Jeju City). Created by Geomunoreum volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago, lava flowed and melted away the rock, forming the deep abyss-like cave that became a beloved Korean monument.

As the first cave built to be a natural monument, 만장굴 is about 23 miles in breadth and 30 miles in height, having a grand total of 13,422 meter in length. The inside of the tunnel sustains a temperature of 1℃ 1 to 21℃, sustaining a comfortable atmosphere. There are also have living animals such as bats, which makes travelers have a magical feeling, and it is also valuable for researchers.

There are three entrances into 만장굴 , and they can be categorized by public favoritism:

Entrance #2 [above] is the one most open to the public and most commonly used, however #3 is the one with the most active cave life.

Between entrances #1 and #2, there is a lower level main tube where most 만장굴 wildlife can be found.

Based in Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, the Manjanggul Lava Tube has the greatest number of living creatures, such as the Jeju cave-spider and bent-wing bats. This anomaly has created the largest colony of bats confirmed to be living in Korea so far, finalizing at a total of over 30,000.

Stone Turtle [above] is one of the most fantastic rock formations in 만장굴 and also one of the largest known lava columns in the world. It stretches at 24 ft. tall and is shaped like a turtle, while others have claimed it is shaped like Jeju Island.

To get here, you must take a 30 minute bus ride from Jeju City and tickets are 2,000 won (adults). Minors are 1,000 won, but seniors over the age of 65 and children under 7 have free admission (with proof of identification). Groups are considered 10 or more people, and group tickets are 1,600 (adults) and 800 won for children. The disabled (and one companion) are also free of charge.

Pack a small backpack and comfortable shoes, as to walk through all of the cave is a total of 40-50 minutes. Water often drips from the ceiling and it is chilly inside 만장굴, so bringing a jacket is advised. Restrooms are available on-site, but it is recommended to go before leaving for the cave.

만장굴 closes the first Wednesday of every month, and its operating hours are from 9 AM to 6PM (last admission is 5:10 PM).

Natural landscape can appeal to the finer feelings of mankind and relaxes the stressed soul and mind, making 만장굴 one of the most fantastic travel areas in Korea.

Travel far,
