although there wasnt enough passengers, they still went ahead with the itinerary, however, i believe with a smaller boat. there was only 7 of us in total. therefore we had an intimate session. the sea was a bit choppy, therefore we opt out of the 2nd waterplay and went on island visiting. all equipments for snorkeling are provided, they even provided goggles with low degree for the shortsighted. its our first time snorkeling, but instructor, quan quan, was very patient with guiding us. lunch was very homely and fresh! during island visiting, as we do not know how to ride motorcycle, they have enough staff to pillion us around the island.

Super delicious, very fresh, the staff is very nice, the smokeless charcoal grill is very healthy, and the clothes don't smell like smoke. I recommend everyone to eat fish, it is less salty.

Maybe because it was not the season when there are many small tubes, no one caught them, but the sea breeze at night was very comfortable, there were many stars, and the small tube noodles and brown sugar cakes provided on the boat were very delicious! The service staff always smiles and feels full of enthusiasm😆 It is a trip with high CP value!

Great experience! Everyone had a great time. We were led by a turkey instructor. The explanation of the sailing process was very interesting. The morning itinerary included feeding terns and snorkeling to see purple coral reefs. The instructor would drag a large floating board so that people with poor water skills can do it. Just drag the floating board forward, which is very reassuring! The seafood noodles at noon are very delicious, and you can refill the bowl🤩In the afternoon there are SUP and other water activities. Although it is a free activity, the coaches will pay attention to everyone's safety. Even the captain Ah Fu also dives and has fun~ Recommended for those who want to go to Penghu People 👍🏻

It is very convenient to order using the Klook platform. Call the store before going. The motorcycle dealer will come to the hotel to connect you to the dealership on the day, which is great.

It’s very convenient to order using the Klook platform. When you go out on the boat at night, you can enjoy the cool sea breeze. You can eat all-you-can-eat noodles and brown sugar cakes in small tubes, and there are also real-life puzzles to solve. It’s very fun! Excellent value for money

It’s very convenient to order using the Klook platform. You can sail to the middle of the sea. There is a palace on the sea, you can eat all you want oysters, and there is a place for children to play upstairs. It’s great!
