Observing the Haenyeo Dive Show at the Base

#summervacay
At the base of Seongsan Ilchulbong, visitors have the unique opportunity to witness the traditional Haenyeo (female divers) dive show, offering a fascinating glimpse into Jeju's living cultural heritage. These remarkable women, often in their wetsuits, showcase their free-diving techniques to collect seafood, accompanied by explanations of their unique matriarchal culture. The show is usually accompanied by traditional Jeju songs and stories, adding a deeply authentic layer to your visit. It's a powerful and educational experience that complements the natural grandeur of the peak, providing insight into the resilience and spirit of Jeju's iconic female divers.
Tip: Check the showtimes in advance (usually twice a day) as they can vary, and arrive a bit early to get a good viewing spot near the water.
