About Haenyeo: South Korea’s Pride Women of the Sea

You may have heard the term haenyeo as it often appears in Korean dramas, including “Our Blues” and “Welcome to Samdal-ri.” These two titles have raised issues of both the danger and honorable lives of Jeju haenyeo divers as well as their legendary duties and traditions in South Korea.

Haenyeo, which means “women of the sea,” are South Korea’s legendary proud female divers. These amazing women can hold their breath for ages while they gather seafood from the ocean floor.

What’s more intriguing is that these female haenyeo divers can complete all their tasks without any breathing equipment, relying solely on their lung capacity and traditional techniques passed down through generations.

And you will not believe that some of these haenyeo divers can dive deep into the Jeju Sea even when their ages have reached 60s and 70s. They are truly remarkable pride of South Korea.

Experience the Lives as Haenyeo Divers with A Special Tour in Jeju This Month!

Today, haenyeos will not merely be some terms you hear in Korean dramas. Instead, you will be able to get the firsthand experience of living the lives of the haenyeo divers.

The “2024 Haenyeo Village Stay in Gimnyeong” tour program by the Jeju government offers you a 3-day trip to the island, transforming you into one of Jeju’s proud haenyeo divers. You will get the chance to briefly wear haenyeo divers’ equipment. Then, you will also learn how to swim and harvest some of Jeju’s marine life. It includes brown turban shells, crabs, sea snails, and more.

While most of the programs take place at Gimnyeong Fishery Culture Complex Center in Gujwa-eup, northern Jeju Island, you will also be able to enjoy a light stroll around Gimnyeong Haenyeo Village. Here, you can participate in a haenyeo-themed smartphone quiz and embark on a special stamp book tour to explore the nearby areas.

Then, at the end of the program, you will receive a special honorary haenyeo certificate as well as various Jeju souvenirs.
