Step away from the usual sightseeing and sit down with a real Jeju haenyeo.
For about 1 hour, gather around the bulteok, the traditional gathering place where haenyeo once warmed themselves, rested, and shared stories after returning from the sea.
Here, you'll hear her story in her own words — how she became a haenyeo, what life beneath the sea is really like, the challenges she has faced, and how Jeju's ocean has changed over the years.
This is not a performance or a scripted show. It is a genuine conversation with a woman who has lived the life of a haenyeo.

Q. What happens if it rains?
The program moves indoors, so the experience runs as planned regardless of weather.

This isn't a staged show — it's a small-group experience, kept intimate so the conversation stays real. Reserve your spot to meet the woman behind the diving suit.
