Have you ever heard of a 'vivarium'? it's a space designed for raising animals or plants, functioning as a small ecosystem that creates the environmental conditions necessary for specific creatures to thrive. At Green Forest in Seocho, you can encounter reptiles such as chameleons, lizards, frogs, and snakes living in these vivariums. With the concept of a small forest in the city, various vivariums are grouped together, featuring a vibrant green interior. You can read detailed descriptions of each reptile species, and if you have the opportunity, you can touch lizards or snakes under the guidance of a staff member! They also offer these reptiles for adoption, creating a delightful environment for reptile enthusiasts.

Dolphins are creatures that are often challenging to spot, and the likelihood of encountering them in the wild is quite low. However, at the Dolphin Healing Tour in Jeju, you can embark on a boat ride with an experienced captain to a location where dolphin sightings are possible! With a remarkable 90% detection rate, your chances of seeing dolphins are significantly enhanced. Additionally, the breathtaking views of the Jeju sea while riding a fast boat are an added bonus! Because approaching wild dolphins by boat can pose a threat to their safety, several regulations are in place. Boaters must maintain a distance of at least 50 meters; however, there are exceptional cases where dolphins that are interested in human interaction may approach the boat and attempt to communicate!
