Gimnyeong Maze Park is located between the two major tourist destinations of Manjanggul Cave and Gimnyeongsagul Cave. It was designed by the world famous company Adrian Fisher Minotaur Maze Designs and funded by the life-time savings of an American Professor at Cheju National University, Frederic H. Dustin, whose love for Jeju has kept him on the island for 27 years. This unique maze park contains plants from all over Asia and has been personally maintained by Dr. Dunstan since 1987.
There are three skywalks and an observatory, which are popular photo sites for tourists. They offer panoramic views of the entire maze. There are four ways to get through the maze from the entrance.

Some visitors have been known to spend up to 50 minutes lost in the maze before giving up and calling for help!

Our group appreciated the flexibility of customizing our transit in Jeju-si, allowing us to explore unique attractions like the stunning Hallasan National Park, where the scenery left us in awe. While the service was generally efficient, we felt that the driver could have been more knowledgeable about local history to enhance our experience.
