Paddle a quieter stretch of the Han River from Ttukseom Park—calm water, city-skyline views, and guided SUP or kayak time with an English-speaking instructor. Learn safety basics, spend roughly 1.5 hours on the water, then rinse off in public showers.

Morning light slices across the Han River and the city exhales: early paddlers push quietly from the Ttukseom launch, skyline needles—Lotte Tower, Namsan Tower—watching like distant lighthouses. The water here is calmer than downstream, a wide surface that reflects bridges and riverside trees, inviting both first-time SUPers and steady kayakers.
