I thought the big waves would be terrifying, but it was much steadier than I expected. Besides the basic instruction, the coach and assistant coach were constantly attentive and took photos. It was a great experience, and I'll bring friends next time if I get the chance!

The overall experience on this ferry trip between Taitung and Green Island was very good. The boat was new and clean, but the seats weren't comfortable and didn't recline. I'd recommend taking an older boat for more comfort; I don't recommend the 'Tianwangxing' (Uranus). The journey was relatively smooth, and even with some minor waves, it wasn't uncomfortable. The boarding and disembarking processes were seamless, with clear guidance from the staff, making it very efficient and saving a lot of waiting time. The cabin was spacious, and the air conditioning was just right, with no stuffiness or unpleasant odors, which made for a relaxing experience. The service staff were friendly and proactively helped with any issues, significantly enhancing the overall service quality. The schedule was well-arranged, and departures were on time, ensuring good control over the itinerary. The only minor drawback was that it was a bit crowded during peak times, but this didn't detract from the overall experience. All in all, it was a pleasant and reassuring travel experience, and I would consider choosing this service again for future trips to Green Island.

Even though our trip unfortunately coincided with a long-awaited heavy rain, preventing us from visiting many places, that's just how travel is—leaving a little bit of regret so we can come back next time to fully appreciate Taitung's beauty. This time, we rented from Grizzly Bear Scooter Rental. Although the owner might seem unapproachable at first glance, he's actually incredibly nice—a tough exterior with a kind heart! When we picked up the scooter, he was super friendly, explaining everything to us, even filling up the tank, and giving us directions and information about various attractions. He was great to chat with. I'm already looking forward to planning another trip to Taitung. I highly recommend everyone rent a scooter from Grizzly Bear!

It was my first time renting a scooter, and I wasn't very familiar with the process. I called the owner, and he told me I could just take the scooter and use it right away, no need to wait. The scooter worked perfectly, and the owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. You can rent a scooter from them with confidence; I highly recommend it. Scooter model: 125

The pick-up location is clearly marked, and it's very easy to follow the picture guide. The staff is friendly. If you don't want to refuel the scooter yourself before returning it, you can just pay $100, and return it directly on the same day! A full tank of gas is more than enough for a 3-day, 2-night trip!
