心海潛水中心 Mystery Shopper's Take
Review#Diverse SUP packages keep the fun going from start to finish
For this Kenting SUP experience, Shiyang headed to Wanlitong, known as Taiwan's Maldives. Before getting in the water, after changing into a rash guard and life vest, and signing personal information and insurance forms, the instructor gave a detailed and lively explanation of SUP safety and paddling techniques.
Wanlitong boasts a stunning gradient coastline and crystal-clear reef waters, so Shiyang booked a transparent board and aerial photography to capture the most beautiful memories of this Kenting SUP trip.
While paddling, the instructor constantly reminded participants to stay safe and quickly corrected any incorrect postures. Falling into the water was no problem; with just a few commands and actions, we were easily back on the board.
Once we paddled to the middle of the sea, the instructor hooked our boards to a buoy to prevent drifting. Then, the drone and the instructor's phone began snapping hundreds of photos. The instructor even connected with the aerial photographer's phone, guiding us through various poses with precise commands.
After the activity, we enjoyed snacks prepared by "Octopus Mom" while reviewing hundreds of exquisite photos. This incredibly satisfying itinerary made Shiyang absolutely love this Kenting SUP venue!
