Head to Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site that rose from the sea in a volcanic eruption more than 100,000 years ago. Located at the eastern end of Jeju Island, the peak features a huge crater at its top, about 2,000 feet in diameter and 300 feet deep. While the southeast and north sides are cliffs, the northwest side is a verdant grassy hill connected to the Seongsan Village.
After this spectacular encounter, you'll visit Dongmun traditional market before returning to the pier.
