Really interesting lava tube which is definitely worth the visit if you are in Jeju. Spent about an hour plus walking through the cave back and forth. Temperature was pretty cold down there so make sure you are well insulated and wearing good footwear for slightly uneven terrain. Beautiful lava formation with stalactites and other rock features. A must visit... More

This cave is actually a volcanic Lava tube, not limestone cave. So don't expect to see amazing things like what you see in Guilin and Yunan. Same as reviewer ggkoh, I visited there after a day of persistent rain. The cave is wet, filled with small pool of water here and there. The floor bed is rocky and uneven. So... More

Really cool volcanic flowlines and terrain. Bring a rain jacket with a hood or umbrella and decent shoes. Although I saw a woman in heels, but wouldn't suggest it. ouch. Take flash off your camera and use tripod for good pics. Does not take long at all to get at end and back. More

Went a day after heavy downpour. Cave was "dripping wet" so we had to wear raincoat. Could not enjoy the view inside as we had to concentrate on our steps on the uneven rocky path. More

If you are expecting something out of the ordinary, this case just isn't for you. No, there isn't any sign of life (bats) in it. It's just a natural cave formed, with tracks at it's natural state. Dark ambience, only with some help provided through man-made lights. But don't worry, the road before you is still visible. More

There is not much to say about this: It's just plain boring; an unimpressive, badly lit cave. It isn't pretty either. Only recommended if you have a thing for geology: The history of a variety of rock formations is nicely explained. More

Obviously, caves don't tend to be the most exciting things in the world, but Manjangul is a part of UNESCO's world heritage list (the Jeju Volcanic Island & Tubes) for a reason - it is pretty impressive. Manjgangul is a 7km long volcanic tube, though you can only walk a small portion of it. It is dimly lighted, with a... More

After hiking up some trails on Hallasan, we decided look at the Manjang Cave. Located on the north east of the island, one should know that it will take driving or riding a bus to get there. We ended up there around dusk, and it was sort of a break from the winter wind. We were lucky because during the... More

It is really long cave. Pls wear sensible shoes and high heels are NO NO there. I think it is nice for the first 15 min but after 15min it all looks the same. So unless you really knows you rocks well, or else it will be just a walking trip More

Currently free due to the new status update to one of the new7wonders. Normally it would be 2,000won to visit. The walk is about 1km long and got a bit boring after a while. The lava column at the end was the most interesting thing during the walk. The bus was an easy ride from the Jeju bus station which... More
