Penghu

The meeting time was 20 minutes before departure, scheduled for 7:40 AM, but we actually departed at 8:00 AM because we were waiting for a group of tourists. There was a guide on the boat who stayed with us, for example, we'd agree on a time to follow her for a tour, and the service was pretty good. However, on the return trip, there was no commentary about the islands we cruised past! We had 1.5 hours at Dongji Island and 3 hours at Qimei (including self-arranged lunch), which was plenty of time! It was great—the whole island-hopping day trip wasn't expensive, highly recommended! 👍

When visiting Penghu, a trip to Jibei Island is a must, especially for families with children. The boat ride is only 20 minutes, so you won't get seasick. We chose the 10:30 AM departure and 4:00 PM return. Since this tour only offers fixed times, it felt a bit long for us as we didn't participate in any water activities, but it was still very worthwhile!

This was such a unique experience! Loved it! I would highly recommend this as an activity to do one evening!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review Booking the "Penghu Island Hopping: Qimei & Wang'an Day Tour" through Klook was truly a fantastic and unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish, and I highly recommend it! ### Major Highlights: - **Rich Itinerary**: We visited two outlying islands, Qimei and Wang'an, in one day. The timing was excellent – not rushed, but never boring. Qimei's Twin Hearts Stone Weir, Wang'an's Heaven's Road, Little Taiwan, and the ancient grass-roofed houses – every single spot was so beautiful we couldn't stop taking photos! - **Flexible Transportation**: On the islands, you can choose to rent a scooter to explore on your own or take a sightseeing bus, both are very convenient. We opted for scooters, and riding around the island with the sea breeze blowing and the scenic views along the way was incredibly therapeutic. - **Comfortable Ferry**: The round-trip ferry was stable, and the staff were very friendly. Those prone to seasickness shouldn't worry too much. - **Tour Guide/Leader**: Our guide was friendly and professional, sharing local history and interesting anecdotes along the way, which gave us a deeper appreciation for Penghu's outlying islands. - **Excellent Value for Money**: Including ferry tickets, island transportation options, and transfers, the price was very reasonable, saving us the hassle of planning everything ourselves. This island-hopping tour truly allowed me to experience the pristine beauty and charm of Penghu's outlying islands. Blue skies, white sands, and turquoise waters – every photo turned out stunning! If you're visiting Penghu, I highly recommend adding this tour to your itinerary; you definitely won't regret it. **Strongly recommended to everyone!** I'd love to book this tour again next time I visit Penghu! 👍👍👍 (Already gave Klook a 5-star review)

My first island-hopping trip to Donghai was quite fun! We set off at 10 AM, and the captain first took us to see the magnificent basalt columns. Then, we went to the island village for lunch (seafood congee + three side dishes), where locals were selling fresh, delicious sea urchins for 200 each. After eating, we headed to Pengpeng Beach for water activities. We started with inflatable games, then moved on to the slide, diving, and swing in the sea. Finally, we tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). After finishing around 4 PM, we prepared for our return, concluding a full day of activities.

Moon Bay diving really does have a purple lavender forest, but when I went on May 23rd, the water was still very cold, requiring a 3mm wetsuit. Without one, you could probably only stay in for about 30 minutes. Qimei has many attractions! You can spend a whole day enjoying water activities. The scooters are easy-to-ride gas-powered ones.

I saw someone share their Yuanbei Island itinerary on Threads, highly recommending it for young children. I signed up with my 3-year-old daughter, and we had a fantastic time exploring the intertidal zone animals and later enjoying the water activities 😃. During the breaks, we could also go to the backyard to see the ducks and goats. If you have the energy, you can even walk around Yuanbei Island via the trail at the back, which I highly recommend! The only downside was that walking to the intertidal zone in water shoes was a bit too far, and my child complained a lot. A shuttle service might be better!

The captain was very nice, and the diving instructors were excellent! However, the weather wasn't cooperating that day; there was no wind, light rain, and huge waves. Snorkeling basically allowed us to see the seawater, sand, sea cucumbers, and the instructors' fins. Because the waves were so big, the snorkeling spot wasn't the original location, but being able to get in the water was still a good experience. The noodles were delicious.

As soon as the boat docked in Penghu, the tour guide called to inform us where the shuttle would pick us up, and also explained many important details on the bus.
