About this experience

We believe the Han River is the perfect place to enjoy both the calm of the morning and the most peaceful sunset in Seoul.
Here, you’ll discover a hidden side of the city that even many locals have yet to find.

Experience serene water activities surrounded by nature and quiet.
Sunset on the river is magical, but mornings are just as special—calm, refreshing, and the perfect way to start your day.
On hot summer days, a dip in the river is all you need to cool off, while paddling with views of landmarks like Lotte Tower and Namsan Tower all around you.

I’m Koa, passionate about water sports and currently the only one offering water activities in English here.

So don’t get me mixed up with anyone else!
You’ll always be welcomed with a big smile and a warm greeting—probably the warmest you’ll find in Korea.
