Coral Island Xiaoliuqiu One-Day Tour
Step into Xiaoliuqiu, a coral reef island, and in the most relaxed and safest way, gather memories of its marine ecology, hidden island gems, and local flavors all in one day.
Depart from Kaohsiung, with a dedicated transfer directly to Donggang Pier. After a boat ride across the sea to the island, a glass-bottom boat (semi-submarine) tour is arranged to observe the marine world up close, allowing families with children and first-time visitors to easily discover the marine charm of Xiaoliuqiu.
In the afternoon, embark on an island tour to delve into Xiaoliuqiu's classic attractions: the lush green trails of Shan豬溝 (Wild Boar Gulch), the coral reef formations and legendary atmosphere of Meiren Cave (Beauty Cave), and the spectacular sea-eroded caves of Wugui Cave (Black Dwarf Cave). With a guided explanation, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the island's culture and nature.
The itinerary also includes lunch and a "Mahua Roll" (fried dough twist) DIY experience (if the shop is closed, Mahua Rolls will be provided as a gift instead). Electric bicycles are used for island transportation, making the journey's pace more relaxed and perfect for a short trip for those who want to "experience the best in one day."
