Ting at lave i Kenting National Park

Was a lovely, well-paced tour: The Aquarium was huge, and got to see Beluga whales for the first time! The subsequent sight seeing spots eg. Eluanbi Lighthouse, coral sand beach and look-out points were so scenic and breath-taking! The tour had 8 pax so a large van was used for the trip, with surprisingly spacious seats and leg room. Driver-guide provided everyone with a bottle of complimentary water as well, much appreciated.

Kenting-skoven er en fantastisk aktivitet. Man kan tage den store tur på 2,5-3 timer. Her kan man se kløfter, koralsten, formosanske makakaber, grotter og en frodig skov. Tilgængelig fra Kenting Arch med bus 720 for 20 TWD.

Jeg var lidt bekymret, da der ikke var nogen koreanske anmeldelser, men jeg brugte det alene. For det første talte de perfekt engelsk og var meget venlige. De sagde, at hvis jeg tabte min telefon, ville de hente den for mig, og de forklarede alt i detaljer fra start til slut! Instruktør Yuki tjekkede alt fra sikkerhed og frem, så jeg havde det virkelig sjovt. Jeg var så taknemmelig for, at de til denne pris inkluderede billeder, 1:1 undervisning og pleje. Normalt var de snorkelture, jeg har oplevet, bare at de kastede et par dykkerbriller til dig og sagde, at du skulle lege, men her spurgte instruktøren, om jeg var okay, hvis jeg fik vand i munden, og forklarede om hver enkelt fisk. Hvis du er koreaner, skal du bare booke her. Kan varmt anbefales!!

Det var en meget, meget fornøjelig oplevelse! Det virkede som om, læreren blev tildelt baseret på, om de kunne kommunikere på kinesisk eller ej. Da vi kun talte engelsk, blev vi tildelt lærer Anji! Haha, hun virkede som den yngste, nyeste lærer. Forberedelsestiden, inklusive de nødvendige instruktioner til dykning, tøjskift og transport til stedet, føltes som om den tog mindst 40 minutter. Vi fik lige nok tid til at vænne os til vandet, før vi gik under. Jeg havde dykket før og troede, jeg ville klare det hurtigt, men jeg havde problemer med vejrtrækningen i starten og måtte prøve tre gange, før det lykkedes. Jeg var lidt nervøs, men da jeg så de smukke fisk, glemte jeg min nervøsitet. Lærer Anji virkede til at vide, hvor de gode steder var, og hun holdt os bagfra. Da jeg rakte ud efter noget, jeg måske ikke skulle røre ved, trak hun mig forsigtigt tilbage. Det betyder nok, at hun altid holdt øje med os, ikke? Haha, det er et uforglemmeligt minde!

1. Coach: A good coach is more important than anything else, and I've experienced both good and bad ones. The first coach, an older gentleman, was very kind; he chatted with us, took photos for us, and taught us not to be afraid. In contrast, another younger coach started the activity before we were even ready, before we had fully sat down or properly gripped the handles, constantly urging us to hurry up. Although we were on the water and wearing life vests, so nothing serious would happen, these are issues of safety and attitude. (I don't know what that coach teaches, but it's best to avoid younger coaches.) 2. Facilities: The showers were old and dirty, and there were insects. I'm a germaphobe and afraid of insects, so those spaces made me feel anxious. I recommend just a quick rinse there and then showering properly back at your hotel. 3. Experience: If you're not strong, don't do this activity. You have to constantly grip the handles, and they're very slippery. I even fell into the water midway because I genuinely ran out of strength. It requires much more effort than I expected. The force was so strong that I completely lost my grip several times because I had no strength left. Luckily, my friend was next to me, supporting me.

Instruktøren forklarede alt meget omhyggeligt, hvilket var en fantastisk oplevelse for os, der snorklede for første gang. Børnene hyggede sig også og udbrød konstant af begejstring over det rige og varierede havliv – og vi var så heldige at se en grøn havskildpadde!

Denne gang blev vi på Alangyi Historic Trail-turen ført af Yihui til Xuhai-Guanyinbi naturreservatet. Hendes detaljerede forklaringer og omhyggelige hensyn til gruppemedlemmernes fysiske og mentale velbefindende gjorde turen yderst givende, og vi fik set et anderledes landskab i Taiwan.

Safety: The surfing spot is a shallow area, with water reaching about waist-level, but there are still waves. This makes it not too dangerous while still allowing you to experience surfing. Experience: After practicing your stance for half an hour, you can head into the water to prepare for surfing. With the coach's help, you can usually stand up after two or three attempts. Plus, there's a photographer on the beach to help take pictures, producing hundreds of shots per person in an hour, so you're sure to find some great ones. Coach: The coach is very kind, constantly encouraging and praising you. They have extensive teaching experience and are very enthusiastic. Location: Staying in Nanwan (South Bay) is more convenient. You can generally walk to the shop in about five minutes, and then walk another five minutes to the beach. Equipment: It's more convenient to bring your own long-sleeved rash guard or close-fitting swimsuit. You don't really need to bring much else, as there's nowhere to put your belongings on the beach. When you go surfing, all your items, including your phone, can be stored in the lockers at the shop.

The service was friendly and I was able to use translation apps to communicate. The facilities were somewhat dated, but once you get comfortable in the hot springs you will forget all about it!
