Coffee Cup Boats Arrive in Gangneung: A Unique Experience

Gangneung, the coffee city, is preparing a special sight for spring 2026. After Anmok Beach, known for its coffee aroma, a giant 'coffee cup' has appeared on the waters of Gyeongpo. Introducing the Gyeongpo Ecological Reservoir coffee boats, set to become Gangneung's new landmark in April when cherry blossoms fall like rain.

The keyword 'coffee,' essential to Gangneung, has been reborn as artistic boats. The stars of this experience program at Gyeongpo Ecological Reservoir are the cute coffee cup-shaped boats and the round coffee bean boats. It's more than just a boat ride; it's a visual enjoyment of Gangneung's unique coffee culture on the water. These unique boats, available in 2-seater and 4-seater options, are perfect for capturing 'Instagrammable' moments with family, couples, and friends.

As you row against the backdrop of Gyeongpo Ecological Reservoir's natural scenery, with lush trees and wetlands, the city noise disappears, leaving only the sound of the waves. Relax in nature and experience Gangneung's unique culture, where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly.


2. Free Trial Run from April to June

The best news is that this program will undergo a trial run from April 1st (Wed) to June 30th (Mon). During this period, you can experience these unique boats for free.
