Manjanggul Lava Tube

The ideal times to explore Manjanggul Lava Tube are during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. These seasons offer a comfortable climate for your visit. It's best to avoid the monsoon season (July to August) for a more enjoyable experience.

Traveling to Manjanggul Lava Tube from Seogwipo can take around 2 hours by bus, with frequent stops along the way. Once you reach the bus stop, it's a 2.5km walk or a short taxi ride to the cave entrance. Make sure to plan your journey accordingly.

It's a good idea to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light jacket, as the temperature inside the cave is around 10 degrees Celsius, which is cooler than outside. Be prepared for some dripping water from the cave roof and limited lighting along the path.

You can reach Manjanggul Lava Tube from Jeju City by car or public transportation. Renting a car is a convenient option for exploring Jeju Island at your own pace. Alternatively, you can take a bus to the nearby town of Gimnyeong and then a short taxi ride to the site.

Before visiting Manjanggul Lava Tube, check the opening hours and any potential closures. Only a portion of the cave is open to the public, allowing you to explore up to 1 km (0.62 miles) from Entrance No. 2. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, as the cave can be cool and damp.
