Jeju Haenyeo Museum is a public museum in Hado-ri, north-east Jeju, dedicated to the island's UNESCO-recognised tradition of haenyeo women divers — who free-dive without oxygen tanks to harvest abalone, sea urchin, and conch. Exhibits cover diving suits, traditional gear, songs, and the matriarchal economic structure that haenyeo built across centuries. Live demonstrations sometimes happen at the adjacent fishing village. A culturally important Jeju Island stop for Muslim travellers wanting to understand the island's strongest indigenous heritage, easily combined with Hamdeok and Bijarim. Free or modest entry, closed Mondays.
