Sunset by Boat on Han River

What better way to cool off from summer heat than on a boat, on the Han River?!
I was able to book a sunset hour trip as part of a group tour through Creatrip in June and enjoyed myself.
I have been on "limousine boats" (called pontoon boats in USA) many times, but this was my first trip on a mini "yacht"- this was the exact boat, pictured above!
I arrived by bus to the main Bus Terminal, south of the river and business access area. Make sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get there, as it's a bit of a walk amd taking a taxi isn't much of an option to get much closer. I wouldn't say this is a great tour for someone with limited ambulatory mobility.
The building and dock for departure are set on this trio of floating structures that are pretty and interesting, southwest of the river and highway intersection. The map provided in the Creatrip listing (not reservation booking or confirmation) was the most helpful way to find the exact spot, as even the social media amd map details were limited.
It was here! How pretty.
After checking in at a small separate stall, you get a cool ticket which makes a nice souvenir in itself.
They let you keep it, see below!
We were directed to the boats, lined up, signed e-waivers, given safety briefing and boarded the boat. We weren't allowed ti bring alcohol, but I was surprised to see they had Jaegermeister on board for shots to buy. There was a bucket of chilled sodas and waters, one per person, available.
The views were lovely! It was a one hour tour but it was only 40 minutes moving on boat, which is very short. I learned most people do this to take photos versus chill on the water, so if you just want pictures, you'll be satisfied. I wish we actually used the boat more!
In a very cute bonus, they used a bubble machine when we got near the bridge during the water light show display. There was high energy pop music playing as well during entire trip. This was on the bridge, LED lights!
If tight on money or time, or you get seasick, many people sit by the shore to see the water and light mini-show instead.
View under the bridge- very nice.
Have fun on the Han!!
