Different from the SUP experience on the main island of Taiwan, the crystal clear glass sea will satisfy your body and mind! Professional coaches and equipment are available for everyone from 6 to 65 years old. Pets can also have fun together. It is an ocean experience that cannot be missed when visiting Orchid Island.
