City Paddle

FAQ

Q: So how much does it cost and what do I get?
A: 590 NT$ per person, but if you are a group of 4 and/or book mid-week we’ll only charge 390NT$. We supply in addition to the kayaks; life jackets, cold drinks/snacks, information/light entertainment, transport to put in spot, binoculars, a photo/video record.

Q: Have never paddled before, can I do it?
A: Our kayaks are easy to handle, most reasonably fit and sensible people will have no problems.

Q: What do I need?
A: Sun-hat, drinking water. Diving booties if you have them, otherwise shoes/sandals that can get wet/dirty. Waterproof bags if bringing camera/cell phone/wallet (just in case).

Q: Isn’t the water dirty?
A: It is unlikely you would really want to go swimming in it (should not happen) and the occasional splash is more than tolerable. The water is nutrient-rich, but not polluted in the nasty chemical sense. Locals have been eating out of these waters for a long time - nothing to worry about.

Q: What's with the 5 am start!?!?
A: Duh...the sun. Often the sunrise is excellent, and to avoid the vicious late morning rays. More wildlife is visible earlier. And yes this is only 10/15 mins away from downtown Tainan, and no is not Anping or Chiku.
If 5am really is too much, ask about evening (sunset) trips, we may be able to accommodate you.
