Geomunoreum Lava Tube stands out as one of the distinct oreum (the Jeju language term for parasitic cones) on Jeju Island, marked by its extensive network of around 20 lava tubes running through the volcanic structure. This site is not only a geological marvel but also a sanctuary for diverse biological species. Visitors begin their journey at the Jeju World Natural Heritage Center, from where a path leads directly to the Geomunoreum Lava Tube.

The significance of this location as a key geological feature was recognized when it was designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2007.

With a total length of 4,481 meters, Bengdwigul Cave is shaped like a maze and has one of the most complex lava tube structures in the world. For geologists, this cave is invaluable since it demonstrates how lava continuously flowed over the surface of the ground and the complex route it took to eventually form a tube deep underground. Created particularly close to the earth’s surface, this cave has a number of entrance holes to the tunnel. Inside, the complex structure of the cave unfolds in the form of double-tiered or triple-tiered rooms. A range of lava formations such as lava columns and lava bridges have developed inside this mystical tube.

* The UNESCO World Heritage designated Geomunoreum Lava Tube System of Bengdwigul, Manjanggul Cave, Gimnyeonggul, Yongcheondonggul and Dangcheomuldonggul Caves.

The deepest part of Eve Hall is roughly 30 meters and is home to bats; if you are lucky, you might even see a few.
