Join Koa at Ttukseom Hangang Park for two hours of kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding on the Han River. You’ll get equipment, safety instruction, a life jacket, locker, shower access, and complimentary photos. Calm water and an English-speaking guide make this a friendly choice for beginners.

“Activity was soo fun. It is hard to beat kayaking on the Han river at sunset. It was a great mix of having time to ourselves and then time with Koa (guide). We loved spending time with Koa to learn about his travels and experience in Seoul. We were also so surprised to learn how much he know about South Asian culture— and that he has spent lots of time in India. We hope to share more stories together next time!”

7.Eland Han River Cruise & Ashley Marine Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 12 reviews · from $50

You’ll cruise from Yeouido Dock with live music, passing bridges, Jamsil Olympic Stadium, the 63 Building, and N Seoul Tower. Your package also includes a two-hour Ashley Marine buffet. Bring your passport, collect the proper boat ticket at the dock, and allow extra time between dining and sailing.

“Very nice buffet and cruise. Too much wait time between dinner and cruise though. Also we nearly missed the cruise due to not getting clear instructions from the operator about needing to go to a ticket booth, show passport and fill out some form. The ticket issued by the operator is not the boat ticket!”
