Getting to Eco Land Theme Park

As Eco Land is located on Jeju Island, you need to get there either by plane or ferry from the mainland of South Korea. For example, you need to take a flight from Gimpo International Airport (GMP) to Jeju International Airport (CJU).

By Bus
From Jeju International Airport, take a taxi to Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal and take bus #730 bound for Jeju Hannam-ri, Seogwipo-si (City).

Then get off at Lee Gipung Missionary Memorial Hall Bus Stop. You will find directions on site and walk for around ten minutes to reach the Park.

By Taxi
It should take over 30 minutes to reach Eco Land from Jeju International Airport. I paid around 30,000 Korean Won during my last visit in 2020.

Car Rental
If you want to travel around the Island freely and more comfortably, you need to rent a local vehicle (either a van or car). It is cheaper than hiring a taxi.
