Description

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.

Kayak Dotonbori without the crowd

The guide was very responsive to my inquiries which helped me to feel better about taking a solo kayaking tour through the Dotonbori Canal. The tour turned out to be spectacular, even though we had rain the evening of the tour. Kayaking through the canal was worth it as the scenery made me realize how beautiful the canal is and the nightlife near the Dotonbori Center was an added touch. I thank the owner, Kiby for providing this tour.

Koa was terrific kayaking in the Han river was super fun

Very relaxing kayak experience in the Han river on a beautiful fall day. Koa made everything easy and fun - highly recommend! Great activity to do with my college aged daughters and he was super helpful with my bad knees.

Operator response

Karen! It was so great to see you twice through the bike tour and the kayaking activity. I hope both of your daughters had a wonderful time in Korea, and that you all enjoyed your time together.

Fun, easy and beautiful experience

Koa was absolutely awesome. Quality kayak and an easy experience. The view from the boat launch was amazing and even more stunning from the middle of the river. I will definitely book again when I return to Seoul.

I am so glad you loved the experience. Will keep equipment clean and nicer :) See you next !

A unique and beautiful experience!

I had my first SUP course by Koa and it was awesome! I already came back twice because it is such a unique experience to do in the big city of Seoul to enjoy the sun and have a fun time. Koa is very friendly and open-minded, you’ll not be bored at all.

Operator response

It feels great to see someone like you who completely enjoy the river. Tanning, swimming and relaxing, but also sleeping :) summer is almost gone! But hope to see you again ! Thanks a lot Linda

Great experience kayaking on the Han

We had a great time - very relaxed, had time to do our own thing and go fast and far or just chill out on the river. Koa was very friendly and has excellent English, and took fab pictures too. Easy locker use (wear something with a zipped pocket for the key) and showers available. Would recommend

Operator response

RELAXing is my goal and life even if I do windsurfing which is quite masculine sport(?) haha. Anyway, Thank you for the review! See ya!
