Pingtung

Due to the typhoon, many travelers canceled. Our family of three was the only one left on this tour. The rappelling down the waterfall was incredibly thrilling for the child. It was quite an adventure, and I got a few minor scrapes, but it was definitely worth it and very unique. Most river tracing tours don't include rope rappelling.

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.

I had such an amazing kayaking experience! I saw turtles and lots of fish, which made it truly special. The guide was kind and very friendly throughout. Since I didn’t have a scooter, he even helped by giving me a ride on his, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommended!

The weather was very hot, but thank you for perfectly managing the itinerary. The guide was also kind, and it was a fulfilling tour. I will definitely use Klook again next time.

What a wonderful and fun experience! We're also very grateful to our guide today, who led our family of four. He was very kind and patient with his introductions and explanations, and the kids had a blast, making it truly unforgettable. We deeply appreciate the efforts of these young people who are dedicated to promoting local agriculture and fisheries, making these activities more than just events. They help people get to know this place, inspire them to protect marine ecosystems, and are true champions of environmental sustainability. 👍

Simply one of the best experiences we've ever had. Swimming with the sea turtles was absolutely incredible! Our instructor was super kind and polite! I highly recommend the team.

We chose the 8 AM slot, when there were fewer people. Including us, there were only three of us, so we didn't have to share the experience with a large crowd, which made it excellent. The coach was very thorough in his explanation before we started, waiting until everyone had confirmed their equipment before beginning the activity. When we saw sea turtles, he also helped us adjust our direction so we could see them more clearly. The overall experience was fantastic, and we'll definitely visit again next time we're in Xiaoliuqiu.

Such a great experience, lovely and passionate people running the tour and despite the language barrier they were very patient, attentive and friendly. The instructor initially pulls you around when you are attatched to a float to show you to the reef and make sure you can use your snorkling equipment correctly; then you are able to explore for yourself. So many beautiful fish, not invasive to the environment (marine protected area) and a highlight was seeing a turtle. They even take a few pictures for you and upload to their Facebook for you to download.

My wife can't swim at all, so when booking the trip, she called the instructor first to ask. She was told that as long as she wasn't afraid of water, it would be fine! So, we boldly booked the diving experience. One instructor is assigned to one student, and they also provide pre-dive instruction on shore. For those who've never done it before, the biggest challenge is dealing with ear pressure when descending. Just pinch your nose or swallow, and then confidently leave the rest to the instructor. You don't even need to swim; just relax and enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery! For photos and videos, just follow the instructor's lead! This was a truly worthwhile activity, and we're very grateful to the instructors at Bear Dive for giving us such a wonderful experience and memories!
