On a return trip three years later, the electric boat that bad weather had cancelled last time finally ran — a 30-minute ride at 10am on a Friday — followed by honey bread and cream bread at a window seat on the second floor.

Three years ago we couldn't ride because of the weather, so this time getting to go was such a nice memory ❣️ If you're looking for activities in Yangyang, take a read through my Cafe Dunchi review :) ## Cafe Dunchi parking and opening hours in Yangyang Cafe Dunchi's address is 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, and there's free parking inside the park. Since the café is located inside the park, the parking area was really spacious. We visited on a Friday at 10am and the parking lot was pretty quiet. Even for beginner drivers, parking here is easy. - Café: daily 10:00–21:00 - Boat: daily 10:00–18:00 - Boat rides can be affected by weather conditions, so it's best to check before visiting ![View of the Yangyang park where Cafe Dunchi is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-02-fdsq1-900.webp) ![Park path leading to Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-03-153kl-900.webp) ![Park pond full of lotus leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-04-ifilh-900.webp) On the way to Cafe Dunchi the weather was gorgeous, and the pond full of lotus leaves was so pretty. ![Park walking path under a clear sky](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-05-1hn1k-900.webp) My kid asked me to take a photo by the boat model, so here's a quick shot :) ![Kid posing for a photo by a boat model](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-06-842ej-900.webp) This is the Cafe Dunchi building. You can board the boats on the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor is the café space where you can grab a coffee. We picked up coffee first to drink on the boat. The owner was so kind — she told us a group was about to arrive, so we should grab our order quickly and head to the boat 🤭 Thanks to her, we didn't have to wait to board. After picking up the coffee, we headed down to the 1st floor where the boat dock is. ![The boat dock on Cafe Dunchi's 1st floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-07-yiest-m-900.webp) ## How much is a boat ride at Cafe Dunchi?

There are sizes for both toddlers and adults, so you can just wear whichever fits. The life jackets looked well maintained and clean too. After a quick lesson on how to operate the boat, we headed out onto the Namdaecheon river in Yangyang! The sky was gorgeous and the mountain scenery in the distance was so beautiful. ![Namdaecheon river with mountains in the distance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-09-dexsk-900.webp) That peaceful scenery was the most relaxed I felt during the whole trip. We boarded around 10am, pretty early, but besides our family there was a group visiting too, so there were several boats out on the water. ![Several electric boats floating on the Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-10-11rvk-900.webp) The wind was calm on the day we rode, so there were almost no waves, which made for a stable, relaxed ride. ![A boat on the calm Namdaecheon river](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-11-jcr4e-900.webp) ## The electric boat we missed three years ago, ridden at last We'd also visited Cafe Dunchi when my kid was 3, but the weather was bad back then and we couldn't ride the boat. This time we finally got to ride, and it turned into such a happy memory ✨ ![Family riding a boat around the Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-12-1ufhu-874.webp) A record from our visit in November 2023 ✍️ ![Record of a November 2023 visit to Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-13-jynwc-900.webp) *A record from our visit in November 2023 ✍️* ## Honey bread, cream bread and window seats on the second floor After the 30-minute boat ride, my kid got hungry, so we went up to the café. ![Counter on Cafe Dunchi's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-14-1hjfv-900.webp) Take a look at the café menu board — they have a wide range of drinks, from coffee to other beverages. ![Cafe Dunchi's coffee and drink menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-15-1d1qu-900.webp) ![Kids' drinks and bread menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-16-7qd4v-900.webp) There are also kid-friendly drinks and light bread options. ![Bread display case at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-17-og1z4-900.webp) I looked around the whole café and each space had a different interior and view, so it was hard to decide where to sit. ![Seating inside Cafe Dunchi's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-18-1aydi-900.webp) This is the main seating area, which looks down over the river. ![Main seating area overlooking the river](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-19-gbqeo-900.webp) ![View of the Namdaecheon and boats through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-20-1xrdf-900.webp) Seeing the boats out there really gave it a vacation feel. ![A good seat at Cafe Dunchi for reading](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-21-1t9z8-900.webp) This spot is great for reading a book or getting some work done. ![Green scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-22-136o9-900.webp) The green scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows was so refreshing 🌳 With the full glass windows, the view looked almost like a painting. It's exactly the kind of café mood I love. ![Cozy window seating at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-23-1epem-900.webp) We settled into the window seat my kid wanted. ![Honey bread, cream bread and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit/yangyang-cafe-dunchi-boat-revisit-24-1s4zk-900.webp) We ordered honey bread, which my kid loved even back when they were 3, plus a cream bread for us. It went perfectly with coffee, and it was just enough to fill my kid up lightly. ## Is Cafe Dunchi worth it with kids in Yangyang?
