Has anybody done this? I've heard it's pretty popular and you can go for around 50k. Anyone know a company that I can contact about this? |

There was a thread by someone who went on a trip with the guys linked below, and had a terrible time because the tour guide and someone else got in a scrap. However, that's the only complaint I have heard of...

There was no 'scrap'. The tour guide beat up his g/f when he was drunk. He has since apologized for it.
I have gone on many trips with Ak, and one of them was a white water rafting trip. It was great, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it.

Hey,
I�ve been rafting 3 times now with the same company and enjoyed it�but not because of the �rapids�.
Anything that would be mildly interesting to tackle is deemed �unsafe� and therefore off-limits.
I think we may have seen mildly churned up water our second time. The other two times required a heck of a lot of paddling on our part.
But we also went during the off-season 2/3 times.
We went through a company we found on the official Korean tourism website. (http://english.tour2korea.com/index.asp)
The website and phone number to contact them through is here. I would get a Korean to call and make the reservation for you. (http://www.raftingkorea.co.kr/new_home/sample3/index2.php )
If you would like more details (where to take the bus to, about staying the night � highly recommended - meals, etc�) then pm me and I would be happy to help. The people with this company are wonderful and very friendly.
(They also have ATVing and paintball for those interested�)
Hope this helps  |

I've been twice. the only reason I went the second time was I thought I got a bum tour company the first time. Nope. they all suck. I'll never go rafting again in Korea.
- there is no "white water" in Korean white water rafting
- there is more time spent floating down the river than paddling
- even when you paddle, it's not for more than 30 seconds before it's time to "rest" again and float some more.
A complete waste of my time. |
