Perfect! I recommend everyone try it. The lake is super warm and feels great! They teach you before you get in the water and give you everything you need! Amazing and exhilarating. Not recommended for those who are afraid, you just have to try it :)

Terry was my instructor in a small group class. He was very good at explaining the different steps and made a difficult sport seem fun as a first time learner. Everything, from dry practice, to pacing, to getting the final photos was fantastic. The instructing team was even super nice and went to get us coupons for hamburgers after the lesson 🌟

You can borrow and use it at the front desk of the hotel. The staff at the shop were very kind and I enjoyed taking pictures during my stay. I didn't bring shoes because I thought they had high heels to lend, but when I got there, they didn't have any. I was disappointed that I had to take pictures in sneakers.

The Kaohsiung Love River cruise was a really great value travel itinerary. I was very satisfied because I could slowly move along the river at an affordable price and enjoy the urban scenery, the seaside, and the city's splendid night view of Kaohsiung at a glance. In particular, the atmosphere when the lights started to turn on one by one after sunset was so impressive that it was difficult to capture it all in photos. Most of all, it was even more meaningful because my parents were so satisfied that they said, "This was the best trip of all." I would highly recommend it as a travel itinerary for elderly people, as they can sit comfortably and enjoy the night view.

The yacht tour is very comprehensive and detailed. The yacht ride is smooth, the cabin is air-conditioned, the sofas are comfortable, and the views are clear. The brief tour of Hongmaogang gave us insight into the formation of the Hongmaogang settlement and the history before and after the relocation. I recommend the great-value set menu for two at the revolving restaurant. The revolving restaurant has unique views and interior layouts. Every dish is delicious. I also recommend ordering the special cheese as a side dish, and suggest serving it with the meal so it has time to thaw. Remember to make a reservation in advance.

I had an incredible experience on the Alishan Day Tour booked via Klook in January 2026. The entire process was smooth from booking to the tour day. The pickup was punctual, and the tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and beauty of Alishan. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, especially the sunrise view from the summit — a highlight of the trip! The train ride through the lush forests and the iconic Giant Tree were unforgettable moments. The weather in January was chilly but clear, perfect for sightseeing and photography. The tour included comfortable transportation, well-organized stops, and enough free time to explore each site. Overall, it exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the natural wonders of Alishan with convenience and expert guidance.

We had an amazing time on this tour! The itinerary was perfectly planned and gave us a great overview of Kaohsiung’s most iconic sights without feeling rushed. What truly made the experience exceptional was our tour guide, Victor. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about the city. Victor shared fascinating history, local stories, and helpful tips that really brought each location to life. He was also very attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the tour. This tour is a fantastic way to experience Kaohsiung in one day, especially with a guide like Victor. Highly recommended!
