This tour is beautiful perfection! We go from the green hills of Yilan tea garden to paddling in the Milk Sea in only one day, it was so amazing. The DIY for tea leaf egg was a very lovely touch of the true Taiwanese culture, I love it so much!

My partner and I spent an unforgettable Saturday on this tour. Learning how Taiwanese tea is traditionally farmed at the pesticide-free garden was fascinating. Then, heading out to the volcanic Milk Sea for swimming and paddling was purely spectacular. The tour guides put safety first while keeping the energy high all day long. Excellent value for money!

It is a premium small-group ride, meaning you get extra legroom and a luxury experience from start to finish. The pastel blue dream water at the Milk Sea looks exactly like the photos—completely surreal. Getting back to Taipei by 18:30 was so convenient, leaving us plenty of time for a night market feast.

I spent an absolute dream of a Saturday on this tour. The morning at Eshan Tea Farm was so peaceful—smelling the fresh tea leaves and learning about the traditional harvesting process felt like a beautiful meditation. But the contrast in the afternoon was spectacular! Doing SUP at Turtle Island’s Milk Sea was incredible. Paddling on that milky-blue volcanic water while looking up at the rugged island cliffs is a memory I will cherish forever. Everything was so well-coordinated!

I had a free Saturday in Taipei and wanted a quick escape to the ocean. This tour delivered exactly what I was looking for. The pace is excellent—you get a relaxing, cultural morning picking tea in Yilan, followed by an epic, action-packed afternoon doing SUP in the volcanic Milk Sea. Paddling around Turtle Island is something I'll never forget. The organizers were super professional, highly focused on safety, and kept the energy high all day. Back in Taipei by 18:30. Brilliant itinerary!

I spent an unforgettable Saturday on this tour. Moving from the soothing fragrance of the mountains to the majestic ocean was brilliant. The Eshan Tea Farm was so much fun—learning about tea harvesting and doing the hands-on tea snacks DIY was a beautiful window into Taiwan's farming culture. Then, heading to Turtle Island for the Milk Sea SUP was pure magic. The water color looks unreal! The transport from Taipei Station was smooth, and everything ran perfectly on time. Excellent value!

If you want the ultimate Instagram photo in Taiwan, this Saturday tour to the Milk Sea is it! Paddling on that pastel milky-blue water with Turtle Island in the background was a total bucket-list experience. The best part? The tour guides provided professional photography and took amazing shots of us on the boards! The morning tea farm visit was also lovely—we got to pick organic tea leaves and try some delicious green onion and tea treats. Such a fun, energetic day trip from Taipei. Highly, highly recommend!

My wife and I booked this Saturday getaway and were deeply impressed. The tea farm in the morning provided a beautiful, calming start to the day. The highlight was definitely the ocean SUP. We were a bit hesitant about the open water, but the instructors were incredibly professional, putting safety first while ensuring everyone had a fantastic time. Seeing Turtle Island up close from the water while paddling on that milky-blue water is a memory we will cherish forever. Worth every penny!

This 1-day itinerary is exceptionally well-planned. Moving from traditional tea harvesting in the lush green hills to paddling out into the volcanic Milk Sea within just a few hours was incredible. Even though it was a Saturday, the tour was smooth and seamless. Learning how Taiwanese tea is farmed and trying the tea treats was a wonderful cultural touch. The price is very reasonable considering it includes a high-end SUP experience and round-trip transport from Taipei Station. Highly recommend!

I spent my Saturday on this tour, and it was hands down the best day of my summer!

The water looks exactly like a pastel blue dream, it’s completely unreal. The tour operators were amazing,they helped us take so many professional photos on the boards. If you only have one weekend day to escape Taipei, this is the tour to book!
