If you go on a weekday, the boat might not be full, so you'll have to wait until there are enough people before it departs. I waited about 2 hours. We reached the open sea a little after 2 PM and saw dolphins.

Easier to access and find than I thought, the B&B owner was very friendly and even offered me pineapple 🍍! The environment is serene and peaceful, with lots and lots of trees, putting me in a great mood! It's a pity it rained that night and I couldn't go up to the rooftop to see the stars! The room was very clean, with disposable slippers and a hairdryer provided, which was very convenient! Highly recommended, and I would book a room again to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

It's very convenient, you can just come and use it directly. Just make sure you align with the company name. Since there are so many boat companies, be sure to look for the one after the bridge. Plus, the special price of $40 is the cheapest in all of Tai O. You probably won't be able to see the white dolphins in the current environment, but the kids are still happy to enjoy the breeze and scenery on the boat.

The hotel boasts a beautiful environment and stunning scenery. Stepping inside, you're enveloped in a nostalgic atmosphere, with over a century of history restored, creating a poetic ambiance. The hotel restaurant offers beautiful sea views, accompanied by piano music. The steak dinner is incredibly delicious. Vacationing here allows you to forget the hustle and bustle of the city and create wonderful memories.

Great experience with friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, the tour guide gave detailed whatapp instructions one night before and had no problem meeting up with the group. Tried both transportation, took the bus up to the fishing village and glass bottom cable car down from the temple, highly recommended.

We stayed here a day before our flight back to Manila. The place is away from the city but definitely a place you want to stay longer because of the view, the relaxing room and may I just mention they have a bath tab! haha jumped to shower right after we walked in to the room. Would recommend this place especially if you want a quiet place away from the busy Hong kong 😊 cleanliness:10/10
