Find the Best Taiwan Surfing School
Taiwan is slowly becoming one of the world’s best surfing locations. Its pristine east and southern coasts have been left untouched and offer excellent surfing conditions for people of all skill levels.
No trip to Taiwan is complete without visiting the southern and eastern parts of Taiwan: Kenting, Taidong, and Hualien County. I’ve written about my experience trying to learn to surf on my own in Kenting and how that went (not good).
But if you are a little more patient than me, then you should check out these surf tour packages in Taiwan and see which one works best for you.
