There are no flaws! We were able to ride at sunset, the music was pleasant, and they took photos for us. We were given juice and candy! The sunset reflected on the Hangang River was very beautiful. There was a staff member who spoke Japanese and guided us in perfect Japanese! Highly recommended!

The ticket exchange location is at the middle building on Sevit Island. You can see the boat boarding location by walking around the building! The staff is very kind and helpful in teaching how to wear life jackets, and will also provide a bottle of drink (optional bottled water, Coke or Samsung soda) before boarding the boat. After boarding the boat, it is recommended to sit on the front net. It is super comfortable to enjoy the cool breeze at night. You can also be very close to the light and water dance show. The staff on the boat will also help take photos. I highly recommend this trip!

It's very convenient. The drivers are nice, punctual and fast. The seats are wide and comfortable. Some other passengers were so comfortable that they snored. We went to the left rest stop to rest for 15 minutes. Great!

A very beautiful show that invites the audience to interact together. You can feel what the actors are trying to express with just your body. It is a highly recommended show!
