As you sail along the waterway, the beautiful Yeongmojeong and Giojeong are displayed like a scene on a folding screen. The Yeongsan River waterway used to be an important route over which a lot of people and products traveled. It could be that Yeongsan River was formed by the tears of the many people who had to bid farewell to one another. The captain’s informative commentary throughout the trip is worth a listen.

The Hwangpo Sailboat Tour offers sightseeing along the silky water of the Yeongsan River. It is a highlight of any trip to Naju. A journey through the past begins as you depart from the Yeongsan dock and listen to the compelling stories told by the guide in the local dialect. Tourists visiting Naju can have a special experience during the Hwangpo Sailboat Tour as they ride the Bitgaram No.1 and No. 2 sailboats, which are replicas of old wooden ships, the Najuho sailboat that features a beautiful Korean design, the Wanggunho sailboat reproduced using part of a ship from the Goryeo Dynasty, and the Yeongsangangho sailboat that offers a sense of speed as the boat sails quickly through the waterway.

TIP : The boats will only sail if a minimum number of passengers are aboard. The Bitgarams require 3 or more. / the Najuho requires 13 or more. / the Wanggungho and Yeongsangangho require 20 or more.
