Things to do in Penghu

There's nothing to complain about with such a well-developed and affordable tour package. You feel very safe with all the activities provided, and the instructors prioritize safety. I recommend going early and returning late to really get your money's worth. The boat departs on time, so don't be late!

An incredibly fun and fulfilling trip! The tour leaders are all so enthusiastic and funny. Every time we were all feeling nauseous, they would say something that made us smile and relieved our tired, sick feelings. Plus, the tour leaders are amazing photographers! Super professional, practically experts! We were lucky to have sunshine today, so every view was beautiful. So fortunate!

I was lucky enough to have my itinerary upgraded that day, adding an exploration activity on Dongji Island, which made the trip even more complete. There are two ways to explore Dongji Island: follow the tour guide on foot, hike up the small "Bagua Mountain," and listen to the guide's humorous introduction to the unique flora, fauna, and customs of Dongji Island, which is very rewarding. From the Bagua Mountain Meteorological Station, you can overlook the entire harbor, with beautiful scenery. A small road next to it extends to the Dongji Island Lighthouse (unfortunately, due to limited tour time, we could only see it from a distance and take photos). Finally, follow the guide downhill back to the harbor. The second way is to rent a scooter (NT$250 per scooter) and explore the island on your own, which is the most free, time-saving, and labor-saving way to fully explore all the attractions of Dongji Island. After the Dongji Island exploration, the second itinerary was a cruise to the "Blue Cave," but unfortunately the "blue sky index" was low that day, so we couldn't get a glimpse of the beauty of the Blue Cave. The last stop was Qimei Island. There are also two ways to explore it: one is to take a dedicated tour bus, with the driver providing a guided tour of Qimei's classic scenic spots - the Seven Beauties Tomb (a brief stop, without entering to purchase tickets). Along the way, admire the unique igneous rock statues along the Qimei coast that resemble animals - crocodiles, stone lions, and dragon ridges (three points of resemblance, seven points of imagination), as well as the "Little Taiwan" sea erosion platform that resembles the island of Taiwan. Finally, arrive at the Double-Heart Stone Weir, which is also beautiful with a bit of blue sky and sea.

There's been so much rain this year, even Penghu can't escape it. When it rains, a museum visit is the way to go. Although it's not as elaborate or huge as the aquarium, it still feels like they put a lot of effort into it. So come on over and have some fun when it rains! You can also come and enjoy the air conditioning when it's hot.

If you enjoy leisurely exploring, I wouldn't recommend this tour. Spending only two hours on each island really isn't enough time to fully appreciate their beauty! The scooters on Qimei Island are quite old, and the rental process is a bit overwhelming. After handing the rental voucher to the car rental company staff, everyone rushes to the parking lot to pick up a scooter, leaving no time to inspect the vehicle's condition!

The entire process was incredibly smooth. Even though we didn't catch any baby squid to add to the meal, we still got to enjoy hot and delicious squid noodles, and even brown sugar cake for dessert. We got to experience three local ingredients directly - highly recommended!

Our driver, Ah Dong, provided proactive service. He offered bottled water as soon as we got in the car and pointed out various attractions along the way. He also adjusted the itinerary based on our needs and, most importantly, offered to take photos for us at each spot. Even my wife complimented his photography skills!

There's plenty of time at each stop. You can walk around Barrel Islet, and rent a scooter on Tiger Islet. If you forgot to add the scooter rental when booking your trip, you can add it on-site for the same price. Overall, you'll need to set aside about half a day for this!

The itinerary is jam-packed. In the morning, we practiced snorkeling and enjoyed water activities like the waterslide, inflatable obstacle course, towable surfing, and towable sofa – exciting and thrilling! In the afternoon, we explored an uninhabited island and Toujin Island. Through the guide's humorous explanations, we learned about Toujin Island's rich intertidal life. Then, we went on a more in-depth snorkeling session. Both the morning and afternoon sessions were eye-opening, showing me what an underwater tropical rainforest is like, with colorful corals and all kinds of fish species. We even saw huge schools of sardines under the floating platform at Forget Worry Island. The seafood we had for lunch was fresh and delicious (if you don't eat seafood, you can discuss alternatives with the company the day before). This activity is definitely a high-quality ecotourism experience, worth the money, and highly recommended!
