I’m a certified English-speaking tour guide based in beautiful Jeju Island, South Korea. Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked at a local history research foundation, where I organized historical field trips and gave public lectures, particularly on the Jeju 4.3 Uprising. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of Jeju’s unique history, character, and cultural identity, which I now love sharing with travelers from all over the world. I'm also passionate about outdoor activities — especially hiking and cycling. I regularly hike Hallasan, the island’s majestic volcanic peak, as well as many of Jeju’s smaller volcanic cones (oreum). As an avid cyclist, I’ve explored nearly every corner of the island by bike, including hidden gems that are rarely found in guidebooks. I’ve also taken my bike to Japan and Taiwan, so I understand both the joy and the challenges of international travel. As a serious foodie, I hold a Craftsman Cook Certification, and I’m always on the lookout for great places to eat. Jeju has so much to offer beyond its famous black pork and seafood — from authentic Italian and French cuisine to Thai and even Yemeni dishes — and I’m happy to share my favorites with fellow travelers. I strive to create tours that are engaging, thoughtful, and flexible, whether it's a hike through the national park, a cultural deep dive into Jeju's turbulent past, or a relaxing food tour through the island's best-kept culinary secrets. I look forward to welcoming you to Jeju and guiding you through its stories, landscapes, and flavors.

Step off your cruise ship and into the heart of Jeju — an island where dramatic volcanic landscapes meet sapphire seas, and centuries-old traditions still shape daily life. Jeju Island is famously known for its "Samda," or three abundances: stones, wind, and women. Join me as I take you to the places where these three treasures shine brightest, and immerse yourself in the island’s unique nature and culture.
Jeju Stone Park - A greeny cultural park where stones tell stories. These are not mere rocks, but silent guardians of Jeju’s spirit, mythology, and volcanic origins. Every path draws you deeper into the island’s history. Haenyeo Museum - Meet the remarkable haenyeo culture — Jeju’s legendary women divers, recognized by UNESCO for their cultural heritage. You’ll witness their courage, resilience, and enduring bond with the sea. Manjanggul Lava Tube - (Currently closed for safety renovation works). Descend — in spirit — into one of the world’s longest and most impressive lava tunnels, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Hamdeok Beach - With soft white sands lapped by crystal-clear waters, Hamdeok is the perfect place to breathe in the essence of Jeju before returning to your ship. Based on approximately 6 hours. The schedule can be adjusted according to the duration of your stay in Jeju and your interests. If you arrive at Segwipo (Kangjung) port.
