Introducing Seogwipo

Amid the tangerine groves on the lower slopes of Hallasan sits touristy Seogwipo, Jejudo’s second-largest town. It’s much smaller and more laid-back than Jeju-si, and scuba diving and ballooning are available. The town centre (up a steep slope from the harbour) is chock-full of motels and hotels. A short distance away are two spring-fed waterfalls – this is one of the few places on the island where water is not immediately absorbed into the porous volcanic rock.
