The Cave Sound Research Institute is holding a music performance called the Udo Cave Concert on Udo, an island off the east coast of Jeju, at 3pm on Nov. 4 (Saturday).
The venue for the annual concert is Dongan Gyeong-gul (µ¿¾È°æ±¼) of Udo. This cave is affectionately known as “whale nostril cave” and is said to be one of the eight best sights of Udo. It is underwater during high-tide and reveals itself only when the tide is low.
Udo is referred to as ‘Cow Island’ in Korean, as locals insist the island is shaped like a cow swimming through the ocean toward Jeju.
Ferries to Udo are available at Seongsan Harbor in Seongsan. The ferry runs every 20- 30 minutes and takes about 15 minutes, allowing time for visitors to observe Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) and the mounded slope of Udo. A 5-minute ride on the prepared shuttle bus or in your own vehicle takes you from Udo port to the cave.
