Seoul Apgujeong Han River Rivercity Kayak Experience

On the Han River
How about kayaking?

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

Kayaking is an experience where you row under the guidance of a safety officer, and it is easy to control, so even beginners can enjoy it without professional lessons. It is advantageous in that anyone can enjoy it because it does not require special skills or great strength. Experience kayaking at River City, located a 5-minute walk away from Apgujeong.

Do you know the difference between a kayak and a canoe?

Some people wonder about the difference between a canoe and a kayak. A canoe has a wide hull, uses a single-blade oar, and does not have a canoe cover. On the other hand, a kayak has a narrow hull, uses a double-blade oar, has a canoe cover, and has a hole where you can sit down as if you were burying your lower body. Also, a kayak is smaller than a canoe, and its hull is very light enough to be lifted and carried by one person. The speed of the boat is fast, the center of gravity is low, so it can withstand high waves well, and even if it capsizes, it can be quickly returned to its original state by moving the oar, so it is loved by many as a sport.
