This one is different
We connect groups with the Haenyeo women who have kept Jeju's ocean alive for generations
Seasterhood Haenyeo is a Jeju-based organisation working directly with the local fishing cooperative and Haenyeo collective. We design bespoke educational and cultural field experiences for international groups, customised to your goals, schedule, and group size.
“What a wonderful, unique experience!”
“I came to Jeju specifically to learn as much as I could about the haenyeo and this camp was everything I could have wanted to explore and more.
Our coordinator, Soyoung, was so knowledgeable and personally invested in the experience. Our homestay host "Happy Haenyeo" taught us SO much about the lifestyle, history, and modern world of all things haenyeo. Our haenyeo and haenam teachers were kind and patient. It was truly a wondertul experience and I will most definitely return to Jeju one day to learn more.”
Meredith from the U.S
“The host was very hospitable and very forthcoming in sharing Korean culture and haenyeo history.”
“The haenyeos diving with us were very patient and captured some very memorable moments for us.
Shout out to Soyoung who was coordinating and acting translator. She is super friendly and helpful.”
Vivian from Singapore
