Pingtung: National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, Eluanbi, Longpan Park, and Shell Sand Exhibition Hall Day Tour (Departing from Kaohsiung)

Was a lovely, well-paced tour: The Aquarium was huge, and got to see Beluga whales for the first time! The subsequent sight seeing spots eg. Eluanbi Lighthouse, coral sand beach and look-out points were so scenic and breath-taking! The tour had 8 pax so a large van was used for the trip, with surprisingly spacious seats and leg room. Driver-guide provided everyone with a bottle of complimentary water as well, much appreciated.

I was the only non-Chinese in the group (it seems this tour is more popular for hongkong/singaporean guests). Although I can speak Chinese so I let them run the tour in full Chinese, if you are the only foreigner, you can request translations into English (the driver will use google translate, but its still understandable). Do note that the tour price does not include the tickets, you have to pay for your own tickets (its not too expensive tho). Other than that the tour was good, gave me an insight to rural Taiwanese life in Pingtung and the beautiful southern coasts.

The guide's Korean language skills were quite high, so the quality of the tour was very high. At first, I was worried when I looked at the schedule and made a reservation, but it was a really great day. Aquarium, beach, lighthouse, historic sites, temples, etc. I learned more about Taiwan and had a different experience. It was a happy day with good scenery and fresh air. Come back to the city in the afternoon, eat hot pot, visit the night market, and go shopping.

Overall I really enjoyed this tour for Kenting. There was a bit of a struggle to understand the english of the tour, but you can tell that the guide actually loves the place and is trying her best effort. You can use on speaker translation, or samsung interpreter if ever. I also think that the language used for the tour is based of the majority of the tourists. I think we have 1 Japanese at the tour that time and the guide only spoke Chinese/English so I am not sure if she enjoyed it. The travel was smooth too and the schedule is accurate. If you want to venture the whole museum of biology though, I suggest you book a different tour. Still, the different stops were worth the time. The view was so nice and I get to learn a part of Kenting's history and culture. They also give free water for the travel.

If you're going to Kaohsiung, it's worth experiencing at least once, but the long travel distance is a drawback. It seems like it would be better to depart an hour earlier, and you don't need a lot of time for the local tour, as the scenery is magnificent.

This trip was on my third day in Kaohsiung. I wasn't sure if going to Kenting was the right choice for a 3-night, 4-day trip, but the result was very satisfying! Guide Lee Seol-hwa was so kind and explained about southern Taiwan, so I gained +1 knowledge about Taiwan. After visiting the beautiful sea and Longpan Slope, which was Windy Hill, my heart felt open and it was a cool and fulfilling day.

tour guide was good and passionate in explaining in both mandarin and English versions. highlight of tour was the aquarium and the white coral beaches. if you love nature this is must join

packed itinerary to aquarium, seashell sand beach, Eluanbi lighthouse. could have spent more time at the lighthouse to walk around a bit more

A must visit if you love nature / the beach. Guide Kiwi was really engaging and guided us through the various places well

great tour, our tour guide Kiwi was really lovely. he also sent us a message with his picture and reminder where to meet. fyi bring cash bc you have pay entrance fee to aquarium and national park to see the southernmos point of Taiwan
