I visited with my partner on an early summer trip, and the gentle electric boat ride and nearby walking paths were the highlights. ## Good to know - **Address**: Gangwon State, Yangyang-gun, Yangyang-eup, Ilchul-ro 295, Water Sports Center and Cafe Dunchi - **Hours**: According to the original post: 10:00 AM–9:00 PM; last order 8:30 PM - **Electric boat fee**: According to the original post: ₩28,000, for up to four people - **Boat location**: Namdaecheon Water Sports Experience Center on the café’s first floor - **Drinks on boats**: Coffee and other drinks may be brought aboard - **Amenities**: Introduced as offering parking, group visits, and reservations; conditions were not specified in the original post - **Nearby walk**: Namdaecheon Salmon Ecological Park walking trail and observatory *as written by the visitor on Jun 8, 2026* For my birthday, my partner and I took an early summer trip to Yangyang. Cafe Dunchi, which my partner found before the trip, was a floating café on the surface of the Namdaecheon. We visited because we could relax by the river and add an electric boat experience. ![Floating Cafe Dunchi on Yangyang’s Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-67e6/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-01-8ujim-1200.webp) ## What can you see from Cafe Dunchi’s window seats? The café is on the lower stretch of the Namdaecheon. From a window seat, I could turn my head and see the distant sea horizon and mountains together. I liked the open view, from the nearby river water to the far-off scenery. ![Namdaecheon views from Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-02-1muwp-900.webp) ![Mountain and sea views beyond Cafe Dunchi’s window](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-03-ja9dr-900.webp) ![River scenery seen from Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-04-1l1cw-900.webp) ![View from Cafe Dunchi on the lower Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-05-jsdyi-900.webp) ![Natural scenery from Cafe Dunchi’s window](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-06-3injd-900.webp) ## Can you walk around the café? Namdaecheon Salmon Ecological Park is directly nearby. Its walking paths have reeds and silver grass, along with a boardwalk and an observatory, so it was nice to walk before or after having a drink. It also worked well as a date route for looking around and talking with my partner. ## What was the electric boat ride and fee like? What I remember most here was the electric boat that travels directly on the Namdaecheon. It is run together with the Namdaecheon Water Sports Experience Center on the café’s first floor. ![Electric boat experience at Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-07-5p3e7-900.webp) ![Water leisure scene used with Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-08-1sxjt-900.webp) The fee listed in the original post was ₩28,000, and up to four people can ride. Another feature is that you can bring drinks aboard, so you can travel on the river with a coffee in hand. ![Electric boat available at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-09-1f1o8-900.webp) ![Boat experience at Namdaecheon Water Sports Experience Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-10-1n25l-900.webp) Because the boat runs on an electric motor, it felt easy to operate, and it was not excessively fast. Cruising on the water with my partner in the river breeze remains a different kind of memory from this trip. ![Scenery encountered while riding an electric boat on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-11-j7prm-900.webp) ![Electric boat experience on Yangyang’s Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-12-12xf0-900.webp) ![River scenery during Cafe Dunchi’s electric boat experience](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-13-1tlcy-900.webp) ## What coffee and desserts are available? I heard that the coffee beans are sourced from a roastery in Gangneung. Beyond the scenery and boat experience, it was a café where I could enjoy coffee and handmade desserts together. ![Coffee and dessert scene at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-14-1ab6z-900.webp) ![Drink and dessert scene at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-15-1kcd1-900.webp) ![Menu-related scene at floating Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-16-xk3wc-900.webp) They say they make the fruit syrups used in fruit drinks and teas themselves. ![Coffee and homemade syrup at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-17-20hi7-900.webp) ![Drink menu scene at Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-18-1pcuz-900.webp) ![Coffee and drink scene at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-19-18qz4-900.webp) ![Homemade syrup drink scene at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-20-16i7s-900.webp) ![Drink-related scene introduced at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-21-1ifp0-900.webp) The handmade desserts included yanggaeng (sweet bean jelly), cookies, and almond tuiles. I liked being able to combine the boat experience and café time in one route. ![Handmade desserts prepared at Cafe Dunchi in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-22-43plk-900.webp) ## What stood out about this Yangyang date route? At Cafe Dunchi, we could rest while looking at the calm river, ride a boat, and then walk the nearby paths. On this visit with my partner, the expansive view and the breeze we felt on the river stood out most. ![Floating Cafe Dunchi enjoying Namdaecheon scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-23-z5o3x-900.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi scenery visited during a Yangyang trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe/dunchi-yangyang-electric-boat-cafe-24-m5db8-900.webp) ## Where is it, and what are the hours?
