Information

The facts

Located in the Seogwipo area of Jeju Island, Soesokkak Estuary (쇠소깍) was originally called ‘Soedun’, which means a lying down ox, and it was only later that it became more widely known as ‘Soesokkak’. This is the mouth of the Hyodoncheon stream. As the fresh water meets the ocean, it broadens into wide slow flowing river. ‘Soe; means an ox, ‘so’ means a ‘pool of water’ and ‘Kkak means ‘the end’. Soesokkak Estuary is lined with cliffs of curious lava formations, which are overhung with pine trees. Here the water takes on the deep blue of the ocean, and the scenery is very picturesque.

Soesokkak Estuary is located in Hahyo-dong on the Southern side of Hallasan Mountain. The area is also well-known for its tangerines, and visitors are drawn to the area by the fresh scent of the fruit. Popular destinations close to the Soesokkak Estuary include the famous Jusang Jeolli Cliffs and Jungmun Resort, as well as Cheonjeyeon Falls – all of which can be taken in on the same day.

You can enjoy three leisure sports here: Tewoo, Transparent Kayak and Water bicycle. Tewoo is Jeju’s big traditional boat which is made of wood.
If you ride the transparent kayak, you can see what’ inside or beneath the water. Taking a leisurely ride on a kayak across the clear water of the estuary is a great way to enjoy the area’s magnificent scenery.
Also you can ride a water bicycle on the water. The time limit is 20~30 minutes.
It's highly recommended for couples and family travelers.
It’s advisable to visit the estuary as early as possible since it’s always packed with people even in the morning.

There are no more kayaks or any water sports here due to environmental conservation

Soesokkak Estuary offers three water activities: Tewoo, Transparent Kayak and Water bicycle. Me and my friend wanted to try the transparent kayak and we heard that many people wanted to try it so we woke up early to get the tickets and not waste our time waiting for our turn. The place is so beautiful and peaceful so after our kayak ride, we took many pictures before leaving the place.
