Dingdong Tour’s Exclusive Haenyeo Experience: A Private Meeting with a Real Jeju Haenyeo Diver

Discover a one-of-a-kind cultural experience in Jeju with Dingdong Tour’s exclusive private haenyeo encounter. This special tour gives you the rare opportunity to meet an active Jeju haenyeo, the legendary female free divers who have been harvesting seafood from the ocean for generations. Unlike any ordinary sightseeing trip, this experience brings you up close with a real haenyeo, allowing you to hear her personal stories, witness her incredible diving skills, and explore her daily life in depth.

Meet a Real Haenyeo and Hear Her Stories

Jeju’s haenyeo culture is recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, making this experience even more special. During this private meeting, you will sit down with a real haenyeo and listen to her firsthand stories about the challenges and triumphs of this extraordinary profession. Learn about the rigorous training haenyeo undergo, the dangers they face while diving, and the deep connection they have with the ocean. You will also gain insight into their sustainable fishing techniques, which have been passed down through generations, helping to preserve Jeju’s rich marine ecosystem.

Watch a Live Haenyeo Diving Demonstration

One of the highlights of this tour is the opportunity to witness a live haenyeo diving demonstration. Unlike scuba divers, haenyeo rely only on their breath, diving deep into the sea without oxygen tanks. With amazing skill and endurance, they stay underwater for up to a minute at a time, collecting shellfish, seaweed, and other marine treasures. As you watch them in action, you will gain a deep appreciation for their strength, resilience, and connection to nature. This breathtaking sight is something you won’t forget.

Explore the Haenyeo’s Workplace: Changing Rooms, Equipment, and More

Beyond the dive itself, this tour gives you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the haenyeo’s workplace. You will get to explore the haenyeo’s changing rooms, see the simple yet essential equipment they use, and learn about their traditional wetsuits and tools. The tour also includes a visit to their workstations, where they prepare their catch and share insights into how they maintain their gear.
