History
The Han River shaped Seoul’s growth as a transport and agricultural corridor; modern parks converted former floodplains into public recreation over the past 50 years.
Conservation
Respect designated launch points and pack out all trash; operators emphasize minimizing disturbance to birds and use lockers and showers onshore to avoid rinsing sunscreen into the river.

Hydrate before you launch
Bring a full reusable water bottle—the guide will have limited on-water options and urban sun can be stronger than it feels on the river.
Bring a dry sack for electronics
Phones and cameras are taken by guides for photos but protect extra gear with a small waterproof bag.
Wear secure, quick-dry footwear
Riverbanks and launch ramps can be slippery; closed-toe water shoes or sandals with straps reduce risk.
Follow the guide on current changes
Even gentle currents around bridge piers can shift; heed on-water instructions when navigating narrow sections.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated improves comfort during the instruction and paddling segments.
Quick-dry clothing (rashguard or synthetic layers)
Dries quickly if you choose to swim or if splashes soak you on a windy morning.
summer
Water shoes or secure sandals
Protect feet during launches and when walking to lockers or showers.
Light wind shell or UV layer
Early mornings on the river can feel cool; a thin shell blocks wind and sun.
