Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) and Kayak Activities in Han River

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.

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.
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.

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
Great Experience

It is a wonderful experience. We had a great time with Kao. He is definitely a great and passion teacher. If you are a beginner, ask for his additional lesson to learn efficient and enjoy the SUP. The water cool even it is in the summer. No worries for the season.
