What to Do at Caribbean Bay (캐리비안 베이)

Visitors can spend days or even weeks in Seoul alone. However, if you are visiting during summer months, you should check out Korea’s largest water park, Caribbean Bay Korea (캐리비안 베이), located about 1.5 hours away from Seoul.

From Giheung Station, the train approximately takes 30 minutes. Once you get to the station, the Everland park operates a free shuttle bus that runs frequently. The line operates from 5:30 AM to 11:30 PM so be sure to plan your trip accordingly.
