When the summer heat hits in Korea, nothing feels better than a cool escape into nature, especially when water is involved!

If you're looking for a peaceful and refreshing outdoor activity away from the city, Dongdong Canoe in Yangpyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, is an ideal spot to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Located about an hour from downtown Seoul, Dongdong Canoe offers a relaxing paddling experience set in wide-open, picturesque natural scenery.

Before starting your canoe journey, you'll receive a brief safety lesson and be equipped with a straw hat and paddle, then it’s time to set off on the water!

The water here is shallow and calm, with a narrow river width, making it ideal even for first-timers and families with kids. It’s a safe and beginner-friendly way to try canoeing for the first time.

As your canoe gently floats along the slow-moving river, you’re surrounded by endless shades of green. With clear skies above, peaceful ripples below, and mountains and fields all around, the experience feels like being fully embraced by nature.

The rhythm of the paddle, the whisper of the breeze, and the scenic views all come together to create a truly healing and mindful experience.

This calm and leisurely ride offers a unique kind of summer memory, one that you just can’t get in the city.

This summer, treat yourself to a refreshing outdoor adventure in Gyeonggi Province, where you can cool off, slow down, and experience the beauty of Korea’s natural landscapes!
