FAQ ## How to choose the right _Xiaoliuqiu SUP_? 01 ### Which venue offers drones?+ 02 ### Which venue offers clear SUPs?+ 03 ### Which venue has a shower room for use afterward?+ 04 ### Which venues offer canoeing?+ 05 ### Which venue offers food?+ 01 ## Mysterious Beach 神秘沙灘 PLATE 01–03 ### 神秘沙灘 About the Venue Introduction Mysterious Beach is located opposite HouShih Fish Harbor in Xiaoliuqiu, facing the vast HouShih reef and sandy beach. This venue is known for its clean, well-maintained equipment and the coaches' excellent photography skills. Before entering the water, coaches explain various paddling techniques and postures on shore. You'll practice in calmer waters before heading out to the open sea. The entire Xiaoliuqiu SUP experience lasts approximately two hours. Due to poor reception at the activity site, coaches ask participants to leave their phones in onshore lockers, but professional photography is provided to capture your stand-up paddleboarding memories. Mysterious Beach's Facebook page periodically announces limited-time promotions and free drone photography sessions, so keep an eye out for deals. ### 神秘沙灘 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #The ultimate floating photo studio REVIEWED BY [Joey](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Joey/) Joey was particularly impressed by the instructor's professionalism. Not only was the teaching meticulous and attentive to students, but the photography skills were also pro-level. The instructor chose the perfect lighting, offered tips on tidying up, and helped adjust body angles, all while keeping the atmosphere lively. This ensured Joey felt comfortable and avoided any awkward, stiff poses. If you're looking to capture perfect Instagram-worthy photos, this Xiaoliuqiu SUP venue is highly recommended for creating beautiful memories! At Mysterious Beach, most of the time is spent freely in the open water. The instructor constantly monitors the currents to ensure everyone stays safely close to shore. However, if you're hoping for a guided tour of the local environment, terrain, and ecology, or if you're not keen on being photographed, you might want to consider other options.

The venue is well-equipped, providing hot water showers and hair dryers. Participants can store their belongings in lockers during activities. For SUP, you can choose between one or two people per board. Instruction on paddleboarding techniques begins on land, with one coach assigned to each group that booked together, maintaining a coach-to-student ratio of approximately 1:7. In addition to drone footage for each group, coaches also take photos with their phones throughout the activity and offer tips on how to pose for the best shots. ### 鯨緯渡海洋俱樂部 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Romantic clear SUP and kayaking REVIEWED BY [Lulu](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Lulu/) When Lulu and her friends signed up for this Xiaoliuqiu SUP experience, they had to change participants and add people at the last minute. The venue's response time and flexibility in making adjustments were excellent. Check-in was smooth, and the counter staff clearly explained the entire process. Even if someone got separated from the group, any staff member could quickly locate the assigned coach. Jingweidu Ocean Club offers a wide variety of SUP packages, including four daily sessions (sunrise, sunset, etc.) and the option to upgrade to a clear SUP. The boards and paddles are all new, and they provide stylish black life vests that look great in photos! The coach prioritized everyone's safety and took many photos for each person, but didn't actively participate in the games. Friends needed to come up with their own activities on the boards.

It doesn't have a large storefront, just a ticket booth right next to the boarding area. The venue offers a variety of package tours, including SUP, snorkeling, sea slides, and boat cruises. Reservations are required in advance via their official website or by phone. The SUP experience lasts approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, with each group accompanied by one main instructor and one assistant. A major highlight of this Xiaoliuqiu SUP venue is the glass-bottom semi-submarine boat. After a short departure, the underwater glass cabin opens up, allowing participants to directly view the beautiful marine world below. ### 探索拉美 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Glass-bottom boat trip with beer and snacks REVIEWED BY [Emmie](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Emmie/) Emmie’s experience included both SUP and snorkeling, and the venue’s passion was evident from the coach and assistant to the boat crew. One participant initially struggled with controlling their SUP, so the coach tirelessly towed their board the entire way, keeping pace with the group. Their enthusiastic encouragement and complete lack of impatience were incredibly reassuring. While we paddled, the boat followed close by, providing supervision. On the return trip, we could change out of our wet clothes directly on the boat. The venue also provided snacks and a special Xiaoliuqiu beer, which was a thoughtful touch for us hungry adventurers after our time in the water! Emmie was also deeply impressed by Explore Latin America’s operating philosophy. They prioritize environmental protection alongside tourism development, such as adding protective covers to their boat engines to safeguard sea turtles. This makes them a socially responsible and friendly venue among Xiaoliuqiu SUP recommendations!

The main meeting point is outdoors, with the indoor space reserved for the instructors' lounge and storage. Instructor briefings and equipment distribution all take place outside. Upon arrival, you'll first receive a briefing from the instructor on SUP safety, then collect your goggles, snorkel, and life vest before heading to the beach, where paddles and boards will be ready and waiting. The entire experience lasts about 2 hours and includes a bonus snorkeling session compared to other Xiaoliuqiu SUP venues, allowing you to dive in and see the fish. The instructor will also capture underwater photos with a GoPro. ### 東海岸獨木舟俱樂部 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #SUP with free snorkeling is a great deal REVIEWED BY [Lavinia](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Lavinia/) Lavinia's favorite part of the experience was the instructors. Our group of 8 adults and 2 children had 5 certified instructors accompanying us on the water. Lavinia was initially nervous about trying SUP for the first time, but the instructors were attentive, guiding us to calmer, safer areas where we could stand up more easily. They also formed a protective circle around us to ensure our safety and prevent other groups from cutting in. As soon as you stood up, an instructor would immediately snap a photo, capturing that precious moment. While they used phones with waterproof cases rather than professional cameras, the instructors were enthusiastic about taking pictures, ensuring we had plenty of memories to look back on. Overall, we recommend this Xiaoliuqiu SUP venue for anyone who tends to be nervous or is trying the activity for the first time.

The venue offers a variety of package tours, with groups departing at different times for sunrise, sunset, and stargazing. You can also add on drone photography and snorkeling for an extra fee. The entire tour lasts approximately 2 hours, with 12 people per group heading out to sea. This particular trip had two female instructors, but the number of instructors may vary depending on the group size. It's important to note that the venue is quite a distance from the beach. After picking up your life vest, you'll need to ride your own scooter to the beach, and personal belongings must be stored in your scooter's compartment. ### 海盜也瘋狂 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Capture every precious moment with drone and phone cameras REVIEWED BY [Yun](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Yun/) Yun joined the Xiaoliuqiu SUP tour with drone photography, and her biggest takeaway was how incredibly patient the coach was. Our group of five had someone afraid of water, someone with no sense of direction, and someone who kept falling in, but the coach remained friendly despite our chaotic crew. Plus, because we wanted group photos, the coach even taught us special paddling techniques to quickly form the desired shapes. In the end, Yun successfully experienced the satisfaction of "reverse parking" the SUP! Choosing the drone package meant that in addition to beautiful photos, all the messy moments—falling in, being rescued, or struggling back onto the board—were meticulously documented. The coach also used their own phone camera to snap various beautiful shots, constantly reminding us to adjust our bangs or spread our legs a bit. We ended up with plenty of stunning photos perfect for social media! The entire Xiaoliuqiu SUP experience was incredibly satisfying, and since Yun isn't afraid of water, falling in a few times just added to the fun.

In addition to the popular sunrise and sunset tours, they also have more challenging, longer, and more physically demanding options. All lessons require advance booking. This Xiaoliuqiu SUP venue starts with on-land paddle instruction, then participants ride with the coach to the beach for the experience. During the SUP session, coaches use professional equipment like drones and DSLR cameras to capture everyone's moments on the water. Each coach guides a maximum of six students at a time, but even if two people are paired, they will still have their own coach. The experience is enhanced with fun mini-games throughout the stand-up paddleboarding session. ### 海享划島 On The Sea Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Super coaches excel at teaching, photography, and games REVIEWED BY [Calista](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Calista/) The coaches at On The Sea are incredibly thorough in their explanations, especially for easily confused principles like forward and reverse paddling. Even someone with a poor sense of direction, like Calista, can independently steer their board in the right direction on the water without constant reminders from the coach. The coaches also use a DSLR camera for photos. Once everyone understands how to paddle, they switch into photo mode, capturing shots sitting, kneeling, standing, or even jumping into the water. As long as it's safe, the coach will accommodate your requests. Calista also appreciates the venue's commitment to marine environmental protection, such as providing ocean-friendly sunscreen and using a SUP board brand known for its eco-friendliness. You can truly feel their passion for the ocean around Xiaoliuqiu. While the price for Xiaoliuqiu SUP at this venue is on the higher side, Calista believes the quality of service fully justifies the cost!

SUP experience packages are incredibly diverse, and beyond comparing prices, there are many factors to consider when choosing. In addition to basic departure times like sunrise or sunset, you might also want to think about add-on services such as clear SUP boards, drone photography, or snorkeling. You can choose based on your own preferences or those of your companions. Xiaoliuqiu is renowned as a turtle island, and during your SUP experience, you might just spot a sea turtle leisurely swimming beneath your board. However, if you're looking for a closer encounter and want to swim alongside them, we recommend trying freediving or scuba diving to explore more of the underwater world!
