How to get to Alpaca World from Seoul

By bus

You can get there by catching an intercity bus at the Dong Seoul (East Seoul) Bus Terminal 동서울 버스터미널, located near Gangbyeon Station (subway line 2, exit 4). Your destination will be the Hongcheon Bus Terminal 홍천 버스터미널, and the ride lasts approximately one hour with a fare of 7,400 won.

Once in Hongcheon, board the Deokbatjae, Pungcheon bus. After a journey of about an hour, alight at the Deokbatjae Exit. From there, a scenic 918-meter walk alongside the road, moving with the traffic, will bring you directly to the gates of Alpaca World. Enjoy your visit!

By all-inclusive tours

Public transport may be confusing, so choosing an all-inclusive tour is better. These tours often include pick-up from Seoul, ensuring a stress-free journey. Plus, they let you explore other highlights of the area, like Nami Island, Gangchon Rail Bike, and more, all in one day. You’ll get round-trip transport, admission tickets, and English—or Chinese-speaking guides. You can find these tours conveniently on platforms like Klook or GetYourGuide.
