Seoul: Apjugeong Han River Kayak Experience

Romantic Han River Kayak

If you're looking for a special experience on the Han River, how about kayaking?

Kayaking is an experience where you row according to the instructions of a safety guard, and it's easy to control, so even beginners can easily enjoy it without taking professional lessons. The advantage is that anyone can enjoy it because it doesn't require special skills or great strength. Experience kayaking at River City, located a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong. It will be the most romantic way to enjoy the Han River.

Difference between Kayak and Canoe

Canoes have a wide beam, use single-bladed oars as standard, and do not have a deck on the boat. On the other hand, kayaks have a narrower beam than canoes, use double-bladed oars as standard, have a deck on the boat, and the biggest difference is that there is a hole where you can sit as if burying your lower body. Also, kayaks are smaller than canoes, the hull is very light, so you can carry and transport it alone, the boat is fast, and the center is low, so it withstands high waves well, and even if it capsizes, you can quickly return it to its original state by moving the oars, so it is loved by many as a leisure sport.
