A one-day tour guide to Green Island, Taitung

Taitung Green Island Day Trip Guide | Hot Springs, Motorcycles, and the Blue Coast

Taitung Green Island is a hidden gem among Taiwan's outlying islands, renowned for its coral reefs, volcanic terrain, and marine ecosystem. We recommend arriving early in the morning with China Shipping or De'An Airlines, then renting a scooter (approximately NT$500 per day) to begin your island tour.

Must-See Attractions:

1. Zhaori Hot Springs: One of the world's rarest underwater saltwater hot springs, soak in the morning and watch the sunrise, experiencing the romance of "sunrise hot springs on the sea."

2. Sleeping Beauty Cave and Pug Rock: Green Island landmarks, easily accessible by bicycle along the island's circular highway. The unique reef formations are perfect for photo ops.

3. Nanliao Bay and Dabaisha: With fine white sand and clear water, snorkeling offers opportunities for encountering schools of tropical fish. In the evening, the sunset over the beach is breathtaking.

4. Green Island Lighthouse and Prison Museum: A fusion of history and culture, with the lighthouse overlooking the island and the prison museum revealing its unique history.

Tips:

• The circumnavigation of the island is approximately 15 kilometers, so allow 5-6 hours.

• We recommend the seafood restaurant "Sea Flavor," where the stir-fried mountain squid and salt-baked conch are must-try.

• At night, take a guided night tour to observe the migrating land crabs.
