Outdoor Activities To Try In Kenting, Taiwan

Located at the southern tip of the island, Kenting is Taiwan’s answer to Indonesia’s Bali or the Philippines’ Boracay. This seaside town is a favorite among beach lovers, with its pristine waters and fine sand being the perfect backdrop for a tropical vacation. It is also a stark contrast to the highly urbanized landscape of the capital city Taipei, as well as to the historically and culturally rich Tainan, but its unique vibe serves as an ideal getaway for locals and tourists who long for an escape from their everyday lives.

If you plan on visiting Kenting and are still wondering about the things you can do there, here are five outdoor activities that you will surely enjoy:

 

 

Engage In Water Sports

Your trip to Kenting will not be complete without trying out at least one of the many water sports and activities you can do above and below its waters.

Whether it’s snorkeling, scuba diving, skin diving, stand up paddling, surfing, bodyboarding, swimming, or just playing by the shore, you will definitely enjoy whatever activity you engage in. You can pretty much do them all during your stay, as you can easily book them when you arrive, or even prior to your arrival via KKday.

If you want to do something on dry land, then why not take a walk to literally the southernmost point of Taiwan?

Should you find your way around the Eluanbi Lighthouse, the tip of the island is just nearby. Walk along the 1.5km long footpath and after 20 minutes, you will find yourself in this area offering majestic views of the ocean. You will unlikely get lost, too, as there are signposts that will lead you to your destination.

Rent A Scooter Or E-bike (Or Join A Rickshaw Tour!)

via KKday Supplier

Tired of all the swimming and walking? Then it’s probably time to hit the streets and explore the other side of Kenting. Driving a scooter or an e-bike is common in Kenting, and it is the best way to see the town as you can do it on your own pace and visit the sites that you only want to see. If you don’t have an international driving license, better get the e-bike as you don’t need one to drive it. Just make sure to stick to the speed limit and charge the bike every two hours.

You can also book a rickshaw tour with KKday if you prefer someone to do the driving for you!
