Following lunch we’ll drive to the tropical southern peninsula where we’ll visit South Taiwan’s luckiest temple and have a cruisy afternoon ride alongside the blue Pacific, finishing at the beautiful Baisha beach, which was used as a film location for Life Of Pi.

The south of Taiwan is often compared to Hawaii; with beautiful beaches and warm water, and no wonder as it’s almost on the same latitude.

Accommodation is just down the road at South Bay with Nanwan Beach less than 100m away across the road. You can enjoy sunset on the golden sands, or from the rooftop terrace.

While today is a rest day, there are a host of optional extra activities available. Included in your holiday are; surf lessons for the kids or a visit to the aquarium (we highly recommend this, kids of all ages love it, there’s so much to do and see), or a walk through the National Park.

Other options we’re happy to organize for you are Go Karts, as well as visits to numerous safe swimming beaches, a hot & cold spring, checking out the lighthouse, hiking to a waterhole and waterfall, as well as trips to the morning and/or night markets.

Of course, you’re also welcome to simply stroll Nanwan beach across the road, rent an umbrella and chairs and have swims, naps and build sandcastles all day!

And we’re happy to drive you to any of the activities or food options you’d like to experience today – we’re here to make your holiday the best, and we love showing you this tropical paradise.

Of course; if you’d still would like for this to be a cycling day today; we'll happily organise that too!

An absolutely magic ride for our last day around the southern Hengchun peninsula. Starting from our accommodation we’ll cycle past numerous bays and beautiful sandy beaches, and on through the grasslands - which is prime Formosan Sika deer habitat – down to the ocean again and finishing at the Gangkou suspension bridge.

After this we’ll head back to the hotel where you can shower and finish packing.

We’ll then take you to Kaohsiung’s International Airport (KHH) or Tainan High Speed Rail station in time for your departure flight or train.
