What to Know About Visiting Caves in Korea

  • Caves are Cold, You Need a Sweater or Jacket. Ok, caves are cold everywhere but many people forget this when it's 98 outside. This also makes them the perfect place to visit mid-day in the summer! Make sure you plan for the sudden change in temperature.
  • Cave floors haven't all been evened out for your comfort, wear good shoes. We have made the mistake of not wearing the right shoes into caves and it HURTS after a while. Be smarter than us.
  • Public Caves in Korea Might be Scary for Folks Scared of Tight Places. Many of the popular caves have extremely restrictive passageways. Sometimes we have had to get down and crawl through areas. We have also had to squeeze through tight areas. Make sure you know about the cave you are visiting before taking someone scared of small spaces. Of course, this is also why we love the caves.
  • You Need Tickets and Space is Limited. You may need to reserve tickets in advance. This depends on the cave and public health-related rules (COVID) at the time.
  • Caves in Korea are gorgeous. We have visited caves all over the world and the caves here have some very epic rooms that have not been destroyed.
  • Caves in Korea have a lot of history. Many caves were used as hideouts during differnt invasions.
  • Some caves are artificially created for fun and enjoyment. This is because caves are cool and comfy places to hangout during the hot summer. They also are great places for wine!
