Lovely night view This is one of my best experience in Seoul
I highly recommend use this cruise at night
Beautiful bridges and night views are wonderful

Cruise Just Okay We did the 7 p.m. Evening Cruise. Had been looking forward to a relaxing hour to sit and see the city skyline while enjoying gentle evening breeze and catch up on the day's events. We were lucky and got seats on the upper deck...but within a few minutes the Cocktail Mix Team started up their rap music and the speaker was located very near where we were sitting. So loud we could not carry on a conversation. ALSO they played inappropriate songs with vulgar language which was all in English. I will assume that the team was Korean and did not know the words. Very offensive and would never be permitted in North America and in that style of a venue that was open to all ages. It ruin what was supposed to have been a leisurely relaxing cruise after a long day of walking in the hot sun!

Music and Cruise To my surprise, this cruise has many types of service. It provides music cruise, fireworks cruise and others. It is a very slow and steady cruise.
The highlight of the cruise is Feeding Seagulls.

Not spectacular but a good way to see Seoul and it's not expensive This boat I took from Jamsil area, a return 90 minute trip. We took one of the later boats and so it was quieter. There isn't stunning scenery but a few of the bridges are well lit at night. A good experience if you have extra time in Seoul and weather is nice

Very Professional and Reliable Service. At the beginning I though it was going to be a bummer as the day was gray, there was not people at all and the coffee we had at the restaurant for this activity really sucked.

But we had nothing to do so what a heck; we jumped in. Well to our surprise the ride got finer by the minute (the coffee still sucked), but the staff on board was friendly and pleasant. We immediately went upstairs to the upper deck and took some nice pictures (the ones we are sharing with you). There were not a lot of safety procedure information and all, but still it felt fairly safe as the captain was driving very slow and steady.

All in all the day went well, the staff greeted us on our way out, the ride was very pleasant and the coffee still sucked 🙂

We recommend the ride though 🙂

A nice evening. We went on a night cruise that was about 90 minutes long that included a water/light show on one of the bridges, and fireworks. We stayed up on top and had great views. They also had a 20 minute performance from a singer, which everyone seemed very interested in watching. I chose to have the top deck almost to myself, and I could hear the singing just fine from there. It was a beautiful evening and I thought the cruise was a very worthwhile thing to do. No spectacular sights, but very nice all the same. And not very expensive.

Watch out for the fountains from the bridge! Dinner while cruising on the Han river. Whole trip takes about 2 hours. Dinner is a buffet, but very nicely done and there is plenty of food. You don’t have to join in the initial crazy rush as there was plenty left. There is live music, which is not intrusive, but I went up on deck and spent most of the time watching the lights of Seoul. After about an hour the boat approaches a bridge and the crew clear everyone from the decks. This is because there are fountains fo water pumped off the bridge as part of a lighting display (a couple who did not listen to the instructions got soaked!).
Overall a nice experience.

Han river boat cruise is a great way to see Seoul in a different way We took this cruise to see the city of Seoul Korea from a different perspective and we were not disappointed. It's another one of those things you have to do when you are visiting Seoul.

Fun afternoon Great experience. Chilled vibe with a nice view!! Try making it for the sunset cruise. I still want to go on the Dinner Buffet cruise but if you have some time on an afternoon it's definitely worth it!

Winter Music Cruise Couldn't really find a website that is comprehensive in English. Eland cruise website is all in Korean language. It's difficult for any foreigners to book online. I bought tickets from a tour website that charges 1.5 times the original cruise price. Upon arrival at cruise terminal, I realized tickets maybe be purchased on the spot.

Cruise started with giving a sparkling alcohol drink which they termed as wine, and a hotdog sandwich. These we were instructed to bring on board to heat up, add toppings and consume while sightseeing. A small joke happened when communication with the staff at terminal couldn't really speak English. I was trying to check what meat goes into the hotdog as my partner does not eat beef. As it turned out they were a little shocked and thought that we were muslims. Haha.

In any case, we were a little disappointed when the staff on board told us there is no such thing as heat up. Toppings were only mustard, ketchup, onions, pickles, corn. We weren't hungry any way, so we left the cold 'hot'dog unconsumed. The other passengers were scuttling and shuffling to get hold of the toppings which we couldn't understand what's the interest. Definitely more than enough toppings to go around.

The crowd was all Koreans, in big families. Only one other couple was Japanese and two of us singaporeans. They were like us, lost and just as shocked at the behavior.

Sightseeing - well, the famous banpo bridge wasn't in rainbow brilliance. It's winter. In fact all the bridges were not lit up. It's just normal city lights. Can't see much in the dark.

Jazz music on board - at least it's a nice change to the scenery (actually there isn't much). Singer sang English songs that can hear fly be understood but spoke to audience in Korean.

Think the cruise is more for their inbound tours or their family outings kind of thing.

Night Cruising Spend a wonderful night in the Cruise - Winter Musical Cruise, live performance was very relaxing and the view was fantastic, we couldn't spend most of our time at the upper deck (Open Air) due to the cold wind, overall experience is great and will definitely recommend this cruise to guest that would like to experience Seoul during night time. Plus thing about this cruise is you will get a bottle of Cruiser drink and burger upon disembarkation of the cruise , just pass your ticket to the food counter there and they will handed your meals.

Dont miss this cruise Night view of the river is very spectacular. A live band provides entertainment on the cruise back. Pleasant!

Terrible experience - rude and discriminatory staffing Blatant discrimination against non-koreans. Tried to use Seoul Fun Pass. Arrived 5 min before departure time but they would not allow boarding. Said we needed to come earlier to "process" the fun pass. Then saw three Koreans come and allowed to get on board.

You can also feed the seagulls. We took the sunset cruise from 6pm. If you book in advance on the website, you can pick up your ticket at the ticket office in front of the terminal. At that time, you will need to fill out the boarding list and show your passport (only for the representative). The cruise was just under an hour. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Beautiful Light Show . . . But, Overall Just Okay Cruise lasted about an hour with recorded commentary in English, Chinese & Korean. Seoul looked very glamorous from the top deck as we cruised towards Banpo Bridge for a beautiful light show. However, it was a bit took chilly for us to be outside for too long and overall quite crowded. While the sights were lovely the onboard entertainment was incredibly annoying (single guitar player who was having sound issues).

Christmas Dinner cruise I took the Eland dinner cruise from Yeouido pier and enjoyed a leisurely cruise, very nice dinner and entertainment. It lasts about 2 hours and you cruise up the Han river under the well lit bridges. There is a lunch cruise and a dinner cruise depending on whether you want to sightsee in the daytime or see the city lit up at night. For Christmas dinner I reserved a table at the SUJI restaurant in Itaewon and was severely disappointed. No real turkey, just packaged turkey slices and overpriced. To make up for the dismal Christmas dinner I decided on the cruise even though there was no turkey, only duck. The food selection was quite vast and good. There was entertainment and everyone had a good time. I will definitely be going again. Possibly for lunch to see the sights during daylight.

Leisure cruise We took subway line 5 to Yeouinaru station, went out of Exit 3, turned down the path to Han River. The E-Land Cruise terminals were about 15 minutes walk along the path. When purchasing tickets (12,000 won each) from the ticket booth outside E-Land Cruise Terminal 1, we were asked to fill in an Embarkation Card and showed our passports. We then had buffet lunch (14,900 won per person) at Ashley on 1st floor of Terminal 2. After lunch we went back to Terminal 1, the staff there checked our passports again before we were allowed to board. The ferry had an air-conditioned lower deck and an open top deck. There were seagulls flying along with our ferry as a crewman was feeding them with small fish on the top deck and it was quite amusing. It was a leisure cruise and the whole ride was about 35 minutes. It was really relaxing to spent half a day to walk along the Hangang Park, had lunch by the river side and ended up with a leisure cruise

Fantastic, five stars! Can only give 5 stars for this cruise! We booked an night cruise with music, and dinner included beforehand. The cruise was just fantastic! Watching the lights of Seoul go by was beautiful. The live music was nice, and the dinner at the Marine Buffet next to where you board the boat was first class! It was our anniversary, and we couldn't have had a better night.

Han River Cruise- Eland Cruise My partner and I arrived at the terminal 10 minutes before disembarkation. Our reservation email stated that we needed to arrive at least 20 minutes before disembarkation, but the metro wasn't in a favor. However, we were able to get our tickets and make it to the boat for the cruise.

Because of our late arrival, we didn't have a seat. There were seats downstairs inside the cabin, then there were seats on top in the upper deck all along the railing. We stood at the front of the ship for a little while, then we moved inside to find some seats to rest our feet. When we traveled under the water bridge, they asked everyone to go inside. We turned around on the other side of the bridge and headed back. At that point, the live jazz music started and they played 4 songs. When we got back to the dock, they had an awesome firework show! It last about 8-10 minutes and was surprisingly really good.

The only disappointment was my partner and I were hoping the crew would make announcements over the loud speaker as to what buildings we were passing. However, they only made very short announcements to the inside cabin.

Perfect "alternative" way to spend an evening in Seoul I see there are no reviews in English, so here's one 🙂

If you are tired of the Myeongdong and Dongdaemun kind of places, this is the perfect alternative. A cruise on the Hanggang river, but do it at night! The city sights and lights are majestic.

The boats leave from the ferry terminal on Yeouido island, easily accessible on metro line 5, Yeouinaru station. From there it's a 1.5 km walk, or a very short taxi ride, very near the 63 Building. There are several boats there, I believe from different companies, leaving every 30-45 min. The boat ride fee is 15000 won, tickets including drinks and food are also sold.

The cruise is about an hour and a half, it will sail east towards Gangnam and come back. You get to see the Namsan and Seoul Tower lights and 63 bldg, plus of course the many bridges.

Nice Cruise Took the evening cruise which was approximately 90 minutes along the Han River. Cruise was very relaxing and provided very nice views of Seoul. The boat had two levels, the lower being glass enclosed and the top deck was open air. Ample seating is provided on the lower deck and minimal seating is providing on the upper deck (get there early for best seating on upper deck). Fortunately we had perfect weather but would not suggest on rainy day as the upper deck has little shelter. The light and water show on the bridge was a nice feature but not spectacular. At 15,000 won ($15.00) this was a good value for this cruise.

Horrible birthday because of Eland! It was my birthday and my husband decided to celebrate it with an Eland cruise. We arrived 30 minutes prior to departure time. Our departure time was 11:30 and we were there at 11:00. There were two Eland cruise departure ports at the dock. We went into one of them and lined up for 20 minutes. When we got to the lady, she pointed us to go to the office in Korean (speaking no English at all). There was no instructions or directions of where the office was. When we finally found the office, we were 5 minutes before the departure time. My husband lined up and there was only one couple in front of us who took 10 minutes long to have a conversation with the counter lady. The line was long and no one was there to manage the queue. By the time we got a chance to the counter, it was 11:35! When I told her what happened, she just bluntly said ‘it is your fault.’ She offered us to take the next trip but because we had to catch a plane at that hour, we couldn’t take it. There was no refund whatsoever.

I had a huge argument with my husband that morning right in front of the counter because I was so pissed that he did not jump the queue to speak to the counter before the cruise departed. But all in all, better directions, clearer map, and better staff training and management would have made my Birthday much better. It was no our fault for arriving half an hour earlier. It is not our fault that there was no sign and instructions of where to go after arriving. It is not our fault for a long queue at the office and no one was there to take our QR code in for tickets even when we arrived early. It’s a total mess at Eland. It was a waste of time to book online in advance because it did not mean anything, you still had to line up which made the delay. And the staff speaks few English and are ill-mannered.

I travel extensively around the world and this is the worst customer service experience ever, especially in Asia. Ruined my birthday! Avoid Eland at all cost!

Han River Ferry Tour This ferry tour was pretty interesting. I took the Han River tour cruise and I think it was a good 40 or 45 minutes so it was a perfect length of a trip. I got to see the city and all the different bridges. The ride was smooth and nice.

But this river certainly needs some cleaning up to do. I saw a lot of dead fish floating about but then also saw some guys water skiing so, not sure if they don't care or if this is them taking care of their river haha. Either way, cruise was pretty top notch. Enjoy!

Another view of Seoul While the theme boats can have too much blasted music, lights (the boat is so lit, it's hard to see out sometimes) and commentary (SHUT UP!!) it's still a nice way to see Seoul, and a decent value. Every couple years when I have guests and go to Seoul I do a cruise. . . I am never fully satisfied, but never horrendously diappointedl

Short cruise with little scenery The hotel concierge told us this was a 70 minute river cruise. The woman at the Eland ticket booth also said it was a 70 minute cruise. We got on the boat which was very big and nice. It was very clean and in good shape. The boat holds 500 but fortunately there were less than 50 when we went.
It was a beautiful day and we were excited about seeing the city from the water. They were blasting music from both top and bottom decks. Different tunes from each could be heard overlapping one another. It was very loud.
There were no guided announcements. The boat went up river to the end of the park at a snail's pace and then turned around. The whole cruise was 35 minutes. Nothing really to look at in that short distance.

Morning Han river cruise The cruise was about 40mins. We just headed west of Han and then turned back to the port. There were no performances, and no food, so our group simply went to the upper deck to enjoy the view. The sights consisted mainly of man made structures - bridges and buildings, and N Seoul from afar could be seen. The presence of seagulls was a bonus... If you found the winter temperature unbearable, you could go down where temperature was controlled.

Wonderful Cruise Not To Be Missed☺️ Went on the night cruise cruising to the Han rivers where all teh rich and famous people of korean stay, it is the most wonderful awesome experience with beautiful night view of the city of Seoul. Very big cruise indeed; and beautiful people around. Lots of performance and shows while cruising on teh cruise, while enjoying teh beautiful fresh air ☺️

If you have a spare few hours and like to see the city by night good way to do it without getting caught in traffic Option for a one hour cruise or dinner cruise up and down the river Han, great way to see the city lit up at night.

Korean Holiday The Eland Han River Cruise was just as advertised. It was a unique way to discover Seoul and enjoy the city's beautiful scenery. We start off at Yeouido Dock and pass by 63 building, N Seoul Tower, Banpodaegyo Bridge, Konghang Train Bridge, Jamsil Olympic Stadium, and the famous Yanghwa Bridge. While on board, we sat back and relaxed as a live band serenaded us, providing a great soundtrack for our sightseeing cruise. We purchased a package that included a buffet dinner at Ashley, a famous restaurant chain in Korea. Even though the buffet had a good selection of foods, save your money, because most of the food was served warm instead of hot and the service was poor at best because the wait staff was extremely slow in clearing the tables. We had to visit the Han River because it is another site that appears in many of the Korean dramas that appear on TV.

Oh, what a fantastic night Music Cruise! Whenever my family travel to a city, we always take a cruise to see a different perspective of the city from the water if it is available. So Seoul with its Han River (Hangang) is no different and interestingly, Eland Cruise has day and night cruises.

We decided on night cruise and there were only 3 types available on a weekday (Mon-Fri) night: a 40-minute Moon Light Cruise (departs at 10 pm), a 90-minute Dinner Cruise with on-board buffet dinner (departs at 7:30 pm) and a 70-minute Music Cruise (departs also at 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm). In the end, we chose the Music Cruise without dinner because firstly the ferry for the Dinner Cruise did not have an open deck for night sightseeing, and secondly the Dinner Cruise would be more focus on dinner rather than night sightseeing.

Getting there: The Music Cruise departs from the Yeouido Dock Terminal 2. We were glad that we recced the place in the afternoon just to be familiar with the boarding procedure and with the walking route to the correct boarding terminal (because it would be dark in the night and the cruise would not wait for you if you were late).
To get to the Eland Cruise terminal, we took Exit 3 of the Yeouinaru Station (Subway Line 5) and after walking about 10 to 15 minutes, we could see the cruise terminal. However, we had to turn right to the ticket office first. At the ticket office, we filled and submitted a Boarding Declaration with our identity particulars and contact number (one Declaration if you are in a group), presented our passports (this is a requirement after the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster, so please do not forget otherwise you cannot board) and redeemed our Klook vouchers for the (discounted) tickets. Depending on the season and the queue, I would advise arriving at the ticketing office at least 20 minutes before the cruise departure time.
Once we got the tickets, we made our way just diagonally across to Terminal 2 and joined the queue in the waiting area.

The Cruise: The large ferry has 2 levels. The ground level has counter serving hot food and beverages, drinks, toilets as well as chairs (seats) facing the stage where a live band performed and where there were fans blowing warm air from the back. I was at the upper level most of the time, which is open deck area with just a few rectangular immovable seats and also has a counter serving hot food and beverages
The 70-minute cruise sailed us under the following bridges (daegyo) to the right of Yeouido Dock: Wonhyo, Hangang Railway (mainly not lighted), Hangang, Dongjak and Banpo and then return to Yeouido Dock. Besides the bridges, we also saw on either side of the Han River the following: tall apartment buildings, 63 Square building and the cultural complex Sebitseom comprising 3 artificial islets (Gavit, Chavit, and Solvit) and which is the world’s first floating complex to have buildings atop floating structures on water

What we enjoyed:
(1) The speed of the ferry was just right for a relaxing and steady cruise
(2) The band performance was great - they even sang Christmas carols one and half month in advance
(3) The fantastic night scenery of the skyline and landmarks on either side of the Han River, and coupled with the full moon looking down from the night sky, it became heavenly!
(4) The lights on Hangang Bridge was especially colourful (orange, red and yellow) to behold, and more so for the Sebitseom islet of Gavit, which changed colour frequently
(5) There were not many people on the upper open deck, so I could move around freely for good photograph taking spots

What we did not enjoy:
(1) It was blistering cold on an autumn night on the open deck when the ferry sailed, but I had to be there to enjoy the night scenery. It would surely be warmer on a summer night, but do wear enough warm clothing for the upper deck experience.
(2) The Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain Show just closed one week earlier on 30 October, so there was no show when we reached the Banpo Bridge
(3) Setting up a very fast shuttle speed on the SLR camera helped but even then, a few photographs were slightly blurred due to the vibration caused by the wind, my hands and the ferry

We had a fantastic evening on this Music Cruise and love every minute of it. We would do it again next time when we are back in Seoul with the Banpo Bridge Rainbow in operation or on a Saturday night for the 70-minute Fireworks Cruise or during the weekday for the 40-minute Story Cruise or the 90-minute Han River Tour Cruise (past the Mapo, Seogang and Yanghwa Bridges).

I recommend this night cruise for a great evening of seeing Seoul with a different perspective.

Interesting tour We did this as business tour and were able to talk over dinner. The cruise had a lot of birthday and anniversary parties as well as a good band playing. The dinner had lots of choices and was crowded for the first few minutes it opened so I would recommend to let others start. The rainbow bridge seemed to be the biggest attraction with everyone going out to see it.

Don't miss it. We booked for Han river cruise and we were taken aboard to eland cruise by our guide. We started at around 5: 30 or 6 pm. It was approximately an hour cruise. This cruise plans different themes and activities on different days. We got the chance to enjoy their jazz music band onboard. We were given a complimentary beer or breezer ( as per our choice) too. This cruise was one of the bests till now. Totally loved every second of that beautiful evening !

Nice to see both sides of the city. I took the 7:30pm Live Cruise from Yeouido Han River Terminal to the Rainbow bridge and back. It is a 60mins cruise. I recommend buying your tickets at the booth ferry instead of online websites since they will not allow refunds if it happens to rain unless you don't mind sitting inside. I was lucky the rain stopped an hour before my scheduled departure and I get to enjoy the view on the top open deck. Make sure to check their time schedule and arrive at least 30mins before departure. It is very easy to get there by subway.

How To Get There:
Get off at Yeouinaru station (Line 5 여의나루역) and take exit 3.
Walk straight along the riverside about 500m toward 63 City Building.
You will find "Eland Cruise" ferry terminal on your left. (about 5 minutes away from the station. Look for the "Eland Cruise" sign. It is near 63 City Building.)

Story Cruise was good sailing with seagulls We picked the cheapest one, STORY CRUISE.
And it was okay. Recommended if you don't want to spend much.

- There's no sign of discount for seniors. But, received 10% off at the ticket office.
- Story Cruise only runs during the daytime. So, we couldn't see the sunset nor nightscape of Seoul even though we got the last time slot(17:00).
- The crew guides with Korean and simple English/Chinese. There were A LOT of Chinese speaking passengers. With a few locals and very few others.
- Other than watching the scenery, there were two things to enjoy. Seagull feeding and music performance. Both are available upstairs. So, staying upstairs will be better. Watching seagulls was the best part with hundreds of flying seagulls.
- There's a little snack stand upstairs. They sell foods and anchovies to feed seagulls.
- It was a round trip sailing to the west until the parliament.
- Story Cruise Ferry Terminal had a buffet restaurant 'Ashley'. It is locating upstairs and has a wonderful view. They provide a discount for those who try both of the restaurant and the cruise.

Great river cruise with fireworks! This experience started out a little weird as it was not clear where to go to get our tickets (using vouchers). But we got it sorted and the food was much better than we expected with tons of choice on offer.Buffets can be dreadful but everything looked fresh and there were lots of chefs/attendants on hand to serve and refill as needed. Dinner started at the dock and then we departed for the cruise part. There was live entertainment, which was a lot of fun. The musicians interacted directly with the crowd, especially the roving sax player. Drinks were available if you wanted them, and we got a reasonably priced bottle of champagne. The night views of the Seoul shoreline were gorgeous. The fireworks from the Banpo bridge were beautiful, lasted about ten minutes. We met a very friendly Korean young couple that we had fun with, and at the end of the cruise when we couldn't find a taxi, they actually drove us straight to our hotel, half an hour away. I can't say enough good things about Korean people. I have traveled the world and Koreans are the most friendly and helpful people I have ever encountered. Anyway, this cruise was fun, the food was good, and I highly recommend it for fabulous night views of Seoul you won't see any other way.

NIight cruise To get Eland cruise take line 5 and leave on Yeouinaru station,than proceed by walking to peer about 15 minutes ,we take last cruise on 21.00 thickets cost 12000 won/pp,it last about 35-40 minutes , nothing special but you see night city and relax.

Nice relaxation for a night cruise Relax and nice view of the Han river by night.
There is excellent music that makes you relax and after 30 mins you can go out on the starboard side/stern of the cruise and take great snaps with the several bridges lit at night.
Nice

Do a night cruise The day cruise was pretty uneventful. If you want something better, do a night cruise to see Seoul's city lights.

short and expensive The trip is advertised as taking an hour, but it's just half of that. Not a good deal at all.
If you take it, sit outside because inside, the volume of the PA system is just unbearable.

Interesting view of Seoul and great Rainbow Bridge Light Show I went on the evening cruise just as the sun was setting. It was perfect timing as we could see part of Seoul during daylight/dusk and then as evening as the way back. We stopped by the Rainbow Bridge to view the light show, which was synchronized to music and quite a good show. It went on a bit too long, but was still interesting. There are seats inside and outside, on two levels, drinks available for purchase and it's narrated in Korean and English (may have to ask to have them turn up the volume in order to hear). If you're looking for something to do in the evening, this is a great option.

Best Han River Dinner Cruise Going on this Han River Cruise was one of the highlights of my last visit to Seoul. You embark on the boat in the Yeouido Pier & cruise through the Han River for > 2 hours giving us a fantastic night view of Seoul passing through a number of beautifully lighted bridges including the Rainbow Fountain Bridge of the Banpodaegyo. Buffet dinner was really sumptuous with a variety of cuisine to choose from & there was also live entertainment on board. All in all,l it was worth it and it's a highly recommended thing-to-do when in Seoul.

See Seoul by night from the River Worth doing. The evening cruise only takes about an hour and is popular with locals as well as tourists. Cities always look different from the water and Seoul is no exception. You pass under many bridges including Banpo Bridge which has one of the world's largest active sculptures - a combination of water fountains and coloured lights that spray out from many hoses shooting out into the river from the bridge, along its entire length. You will get wet if you stay outside while the ferry passes under it. There's live entertainment on board. A nice relaxing short tour.

Fun River Cruise My friend and I went on the dinner firework cruise. I was quite surprised that this seems to be unpopular with tourists. The night we went, it was all locals. There were not many staff that spoke any English and even then, in Korean there wasn't much explanation of what was going on.

Wait and don't eat at first. You aren't dismissed in any order, they just let everyone go up at once. There's a mad rush and unless you want to be pushed by some ahjummas, don't go up at the beginning. There is plenty of food. The food was high quality but a bit light on meat options. The cheese tray and desserts were my favorite. They do have an espresso machine which I missed. Don't bother with the coffee, it is absolutely terrible.

They had a lovely jazz band and the fireworks were great. Overall it was a fun night!

relaxing but short This is one of the operators of cruise on the hangang river.
the boarding point is located in the park area where all the locals meet up for a picnic on sunny days, The cruise is about 40 minutes taking you up the river and back. You get to see a few things on the along the way. But while it takes 40 mintues its really just 20 minutes of sightseeing in a really slow moving boat since it just takes you up the river, do 180 degree turn and backtrack the exact same route. So if you have an hour to spare and just want to relax, then this is a good option. But you would probably be better off just finding a place to sit and enjoy the local life in the park, or simply walk route yourself. Proabaly wont spend more than 15 mintues walkin along the river to see the exact same things and you dont have to backtrack to the boarding point either.

A Huge Disappointment Staff were rude! We felt very unwelcome like they did not want us aboard at all. When the cruise was over there was 3 people waiting and hurrying us off the boat! This is not a lunch cruise, you eat in a restaurant next door where they put you in a back corner. Never again!

Amazing Lunch Cruise buffet It's a different experience to have a meal while cruising around the han river, beautiful sights with good food.
The music is nice, cruise is clean and upkeep well done. As for the buffet, it's much better than many of the buffet I have been too! So this is really well worth every single cent. Excellent choice for a relaxing 2 hour meal.
At the port area, there is any beautiful decoration too which make good photoshoot.
And for all Running Man fans, this is one of the spot which was filmed in Running Man.

lovely cruise We booked a cruise via Klook and it did not disappoint. While this is mostly for lovers, we were with friends and the cruise provided a good view of the Han River and the city lights at night.

A nice looke at Seoul from a different perspective I have tried this twice. Once in the afternoon and once in the evening. The afternoon cruise is usually empty and have a lazy afternoon feeling. You will feel like taking a siesta. The evening cruise is more crowded but better. The view of Seoul from the Han River is quite different. Especially if you know the history of the Korean war. it is hard to imagine assault boats crossing the river and tracer bullets flying from the banks. It is so contrasting to the clean and serene parks that line the river now. If you enjoy wide open space and parks, the cruise is nice. Bring a picnic basket or you can pick up drinks and food from the convenience store near the subway station and join the locals. Good if you come with family and kids. You can rent bicycles and if you are up to it, running by the river bank is quite nice. There is also a new fried chicken and beer joint next to the convenience store. Good place ot have a cool mug of beer in the open air. Then hop on the cruise in the evening. The city is all lighted up and pretty. At the halfway mark, it will stop near a bridge that turns into a fountain that spray water into the river. (The fountain only operate in the evening). Quite a nice sight.
Take Subway Line 5 and go to Yeouinaru Station go out on Exit 1. You will be at the river side park. Look for the boats and buy tickets from a booth nearby. There are different prices for different time and some come with dinner, magic show, or live music. Personally I will just go for the plain vanilla version.

Cheap and fun! Great way to see the night scape of the city. Id recommend the sunset tours so you can watch the sun down and see the evenings fountain show at Banpo Bridge

relaxing Theres a few river cruises available , we went on an afternoon cruise at 1 pm that went up and down the Han river for a round trip of about 40 mins. Other cruises are available , even dining experiences but ours was just a leisurely jaunt .No commentry as such but it was nice to get out on the water . A stroll in the park afterwards completed a perfect afternoon
