The location is spacious with parking available. It's perfect for first-timers! Don't worry about not catching anything; the staff are there to guide you on how to fish for shrimp. Just follow their instructions, and you'll be successful. Equipment: You don't need to prepare anything yourself; everything is well-prepared. They even provide shrimp crackers and drinks – so thoughtful! 😻 The staff will also teach you how to grill the shrimp and help monitor the grill. There's seating available on the second floor for dining.

The water bike was the most fun activity there. Although you have to put in some serious leg work, since it's a tandem bike for two, it feels a lot safer than surfing. Most of the fear is self-inflicted. You never know how deep the water is until you test it. From the moment I stepped onto that bike, I overcame everything! 😍🥰

Equipment: Requires the use of your legs to move; those who prefer not to exert themselves should bring a motorized companion. Experience: The entire experience lasts approximately 1.5 hours. There is no shade, so bring adequate sun protection, or you'll be stuck wearing sleeves and socks… Location: It is recommended to leave early to avoid difficulty finding the meeting point. Safety: Very good. Life jackets are provided. It's recommended not to bring bags; just bring your wallet and phone. Instructor: Very funny, an excellent photographer, and very attentive to safety.

Thanks boss and coach! For taking us on the sunrise tour early in the morning. And being so generous, letting us play in the sea for almost 4 hours. You can feel the boss/coach's love for his work and his relaxed, easygoing attitude. He also said with conviction: Let me say first, I'm not a professional photographer! But the photos still turned out great, and he didn't mind letting us use the company's phone to take our own photos (we ended up taking so many that the storage was full, and we felt bad). Truly loves his work and puts it into practice. Highly recommend this dream fulfiller! 👍

The tour coach was very kind and attentive, taking special care of the children and the elderly. The rafting activity was a lot of fun, and the kids all had a great time. I was particularly surprised by the very spacious showers with plenty of hot water after the tour, and even more so by the availability of hair dryers. The owner was also very kind to give us a ride to a nearby fishing port for dinner.

Safety: The instructors were very diligent in ensuring safety. However, the stream near the waterfall was quite rapid, and I almost got swept away 😿. I hope the instructors can pay more attention to this in the future and keep people closer to the shore. Experience: Overall, it was super fun! We got to experience the lazy river, cliff jumping, and see the waterfall. Plus, we got photos, which made it worth the price 😻. The instructors were also very helpful in pointing out where to find the photos 👍🏻. Facilities: The bathrooms were large, had hot water and hair dryers, and there were enough of them, so we didn't have to wait too long 🫶🏻. Instructors: Thank you for your attention to detail and dedication. You made our vacation very enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work! Also, thank you for waiting and calling to remind us that the location was in Nan'ao, we almost went to the wrong place 🫠🫠.

The entire activity lasts a little over 2 hours (not including changing clothes afterward). After everyone gathers, you'll receive your equipment (helmet, life jacket, shoes, inner tube?). Before getting in the water, the staff will position themselves in the river before we start floating. Because the staff needs to get into position first, we'll need to get out of the water and wait periodically. The staff will assist with taking photos, but if I go again, I would probably choose to bring my own phone + waterproof case.
