Snorkeling in Liou Qiou island


What I like about snorkeling is that you can do it even when you’re “beginner” and the equipment is not expensive. If you think this is not for you or it might be boring, promise yourself to try it at least once. There are few great spots in Taiwan that are worth to discover. I like Xiao Liou Qiou. It is tiny island not that far from Kaohsiung in Southern Taiwan. You can find more info here: http://liuqiu.pthg.gov.tw/liuqiu/web_en.php?prog=intro
Xiao Liou Qiou

I love convenience and I’m also pretty lazy, so that I always take scooter with me everywhere. Good thing is that you can take it to this small island with you, just for 100NT one way.
Anyway, you can go by small ferry to Liou Qiou from Donggang harbor – return adult ticket 380NT or 410NT, depends on which company you take. Schedule of ferries both directions are full and trips are frequent (every hour) with last one around 5pm both directions. 

The ferry company that charge you 410NT will arrive and dock in Baisha tourist port, Liou Qiou. This port is built for tourists mainly and it's convenient as it is surrounded by shops and you can access beach just by walking from there. The company that charge 380NT for ferry will go to Dafu fishing port which is a bit away of the "center". This port is used mostly by local people, however if you've got a scooter, it's just 5 min. drive from Baisha port.

We love to do snorkeling just on the beach shown above on the picture. It is a beach where the Vase rock is located. You can borrow snorkeling goggles in a shop nearby. I would suggest at first you can try to "snorkel" with your "swimming goggles" and then borrow or buy after you got motivated..:D Have fun! :)
