What to Expect
Ramen from the convenience store
During the kayaking experience, you can bring food. Near the experience center, you can visit the convenience store Jamsil Hangang Park Branch 3 and purchase some snacks. Also, BHC offers take-out so you can enjoy a picnic at the park after kayaking. After you finish the Kayak riding you will feel cold and hungry. There are convenience stores on your way to the spot so have a bowl of ramen, and enjoy Hangang's beautiful night view.
Lunalu
Lunalu is located at the end of Jamsil Nuenaru dock. There are colorful kayaks and paddle boards.
The photo above is the kayak and the below is paddle boards. If you've never been on one before and are quite scared, you don't need to worry! Before getting on the board, a professional instructor who has won a wide number of awards will teach you step-by-step.
There are life jackets available for you so you don't need to prepare anything. But just in case, we recommend an extra change of clothes to change into after. Also, there is a shower room and a changing room inside that you can use.
Since it is the Jamsil Hangang Park, you can see the Lotte Tower that towers over the area. It would be quite dreamy to go kayaking and look at the view of Lotte Tower from a distance, don't you think? Kayak experience on Hangang gained its fame after it was introduced on Korean TV shows. You can take the kayak for 1 person, and 2 people, so if you are visiting with your loved ones you can experience it together. Especially it is a very romantic experience to row the kayak together with your lover!
If you worry that the kayak would be too difficult for you, you can ride the paddle board which is popular among locals these days. A paddleboard is a ride that you row on a surfing board with a long row. It is easier to learn and applicable to other sports such as yoga, and lots of women in 20s and 30s look for paddle board lessons. You have to balance yourself upon the flowing river, which trains your core body. If you want to try something harder, you should definitely try paddle board. At Lunalu you can ride the kayak for 2 hours including the free lesson session. Professional instructors will give full lessons before the experience and during the experience, they will go around in a boat and give tips. I have seen sunset from many spots in Seoul, but this was by far the best sunset I have witnessed! If you are done riding at Lunalu, they give out free badges and stickers. I came empty-handed, and left with great photos, badges, and beautiful memory. Experience authentic Han River like the locals and enjoy your time in Korea!
