Overview of your Jeju tour:

Jeju Haenyeo, or "sea women," represent a captivating cultural tradition from Jeju Island, South Korea, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These remarkable women engage in a centuries-old practice of free diving without modern equipment, relying solely on snorkels and goggles. Their extraordinary breath-holding abilities allow them to gather a variety of marine resources, such as seaweed and shellfish, making them vital to Jeju's coastal communities. The Haenyeo tradition transcends mere livelihood; it symbolizes resilience, cooperation, and a deep connection with the sea. Their extensive knowledge and skills have been meticulously passed down through generations, ensuring the preservation of this unique cultural heritage. The Haenyeo's enduring spirit and dedication continue to inspire both locals and visitors alike, embodying the rich history and cultural significance of Jeju Island.
