What To Expect
Yeoido
At Yeouido Han River Park, you'll be welcomed into the evening as everything has already been thoughtfully prepared. After a brief check-in, your guide will lead the group to the riverside picnic area — the perfect setting for food, games, and a deeper sense of Seoul’s everyday life by the water.
Yeouido Hangang Park
At the riverside picnic area, guests enjoy a variety of Korean fried chicken — crispy, sweet & spicy, and spring onion (padak) — paired with traditional drinks like soju and makgeolli. The evening includes Korean games featured in *Squid Game*, such as Red Light, Green Light, ttakji, and Yut-nori — creating a relaxed and playful atmosphere that brings everyone together. Led by a warm and energetic guide, the games are easy to join, even if it’s your first time. As you eat, play, and laugh with others under the open sky, you’ll find yourself slipping into a rhythm that feels distinctly local — and entirely unforgettable.

3.00Enthusiastic host and guide, but the boat trip was only 45 minutes. The event was fun but was not as advertised. Some guests dressed up expecting a full boat tour instead of a walking tour, picnic and then boat ride down the river. The host went out of her way to make the wvent fun for everyone, but there needs to be more truth in advertising.
Very disappointed

Not a River Cruise

1.00We signed up and paid for the “river cruise.” From the meeting point we walked almost a mile over barren and sometimes muddy park ground to two folding tables we were told there would be a picnic of fried chicken and rice cakes, “games” and then at 10:00 pm a short ferry ride up and back on the river. Four hours and less than one on the river! This is not a river cruise! After hearing this my husband and I left. There were mosquitoes and it was buggy. We forfeited a lot of money and felt that the event was totally misrepresented. This is not a lovely river cruise but 4 hours of nothing. Don’t sign up!
