"Access to this waterfall is in the parking lot of Jeonbang waterfall, worth doing both. At sejeoungbang its free and you can actually go down to the waterfall and touch the water. Looks like little pools that you might be able to go in?? Wasnt dressed to jump in but looked refreshing. Awesome little waterfall!"

"Even I was born in Jeju I have visited this amazing place recently. There are so many beautiful places across Jeju, but it is definitely hidden gem. I'd recommend to walk olle path 6 and drop by honeymoon house to have coffee and enjoy nice view together"

"Very high waterfall! About 2.49€ to enter and was definitely worth it! It’s very close to the city so you can walk to it and increase your daily steps ;)"
