Pingtung Water activities

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.

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.

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!

I fell in love with SUP and snorkeling on my first try! The water was crystal clear, and the instructor was attentive and professional, making the whole experience safe and fun. The scenery along the way was incredibly beautiful. It's truly worth experiencing and creates unforgettable memories. Floating on the sea with the SUP, feeling the gentle sea breeze, my mood instantly relaxed. Snorkeling allowed me to admire the underwater world and schools of fish up close; the scene was so beautiful I didn't want to leave. Whether you come with friends, your partner, or family, you'll create a wealth of wonderful memories. I genuinely recommend it!

I was a little worried because there were no Korean reviews, so I went alone. First of all, they spoke English perfectly and were incredibly kind. They even offered to retrieve my phone if I dropped it, and explained everything in detail from start to finish! Instructor Yuki checked everything related to safety one by one, which made the experience really enjoyable. I was so grateful for the photos, 1:1 instruction, and care provided for this price. Usually, the snorkeling I've experienced was just being handed goggles and told to go play, but here, if you swallowed water, the instructor would ask if you were okay and even explain each fish. If you're Korean, just book here, no questions asked. Highly recommended!!

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.

The canoe trip started at 3 PM. The instructor led everyone to the beach for a lesson, which was very enjoyable. However, by about 4 PM, everyone was asked to come ashore. The itinerary stated 1.5 hours, and although I was a bit confused, I was just happy to have had the experience. That evening, I received a call from "Blue and White Slippers" (Lan Bai Tuo), who explained that due to sea conditions, we hadn't gotten the full experience, and offered us a chance to make it up the next day. This service was truly excellent! Although we didn't end up taking them up on the offer, the company's gesture was incredibly thoughtful. I will definitely choose "Blue and White Slippers" again next time I visit! 👍
