Really enjoyed this experience! The guides were friendly, everything was well organized, and it was a fun way to learn about the Haenyeo culture. A unique activity that's worth trying if you're visiting Jeju 😁
HIGHLY recommend to anyone visiting jeju. the staff were all so lovely and a good amount of them spoke good english! they guided you on how to dive and took your picture so many times throughout the whole experience. also gave you seafood ramen when you were finished. could not recommend enough!
This is an awesome experience, their tutors are all helpful and friendly, one of the must try activities in Jeju.
Very quick service - staff who helps you out putting on and removing wetsuit/drysuit and gears, takes amazing photos of you diving and picking shells in the water for the first half of the experience (a great memorabilia!) and cooks ramen after the dive. During the experience, we were taught how to dive with a snorkel for the first half of the time. But as a first-time snorkeler, I hope the staff had complete supervision for the group throughout the experience as I got worried about snorkeling to catch shells and drowning unsupervised. Also, I was a little let down when we weren’t allowed to take photos of all of the catch we got at the end of the experience.
The Haenyeo experience this time was really worthwhile! I was a bit worried that not understanding Korean would make communication difficult, but a Thai staff member at the shop, who spoke excellent Chinese, helped us with translation. The safety instructions were also handled separately from other Korean tourists to ensure we understood everything! Out at sea, a dedicated instructor guided us, communicating in English, occasionally throwing in a few Chinese phrases like "Jiayou" (Go for it!) and "Kaixin" (Happy), which was very endearing! Afterward, they even sent us the photos via Line!
Excellent experience. Quality equipment and facilities are functional and clean! Friendly and patient staff who will get you diving and having fun photo ops. Must do :)
I had a great experience snorkeling! The leaders were very nice and helpful, and as an English speaker, it was great that they could give me some instructions in English. I had a great time catching shells and octopus , and eating ramen afterwards while looking out to the water. 10/10 Would recommend!
Great experience! it was my first time doing such kind of an activity and it was wonderful! the instructors are great, the water was super warm so swimming was really comfortable. the instructors also did a lot of photos of us (photos turned out to be very cool!).
I had a great time doing the Jeju Haenyeo Experience. The guides were very helpful in getting us outfitted and into the ocean. Being an English speaker wasn’t a problem. They took a lot of pictures of me and sent them by email. The ramen afterwards was good.
I loved my experience, the staff was very warm and kind, I especially recommend it for couples since they let you choose your matching hats so it was very easy to recognize my partner while in the water! if you do not know any Korean you might struggle a bit with instructions but the staff is there to correct you and guide you so you will be okay. I do not know how to swim but the staff helped me get around. The meal after hits specially good after the swim!
