We took a break from the mountains this week. We originally weren't going to film this, but swimming with sea turtles has been on our wish list for awhile. Have you sawm with sea turtles before? If so, where?! We would love to know.
We've snorkeled with sea turtles in Hawaii! It is such a neat experience, so glad you decided to film :)
Loved this video. Loved the orange nutibranch. Hope it wasn't one of the poisonous ones. Want to snorkel! Noticed the green onion pancakes and soup dumplings. Duck House!! Dan & Beth
Don’t believe it was poisonous since our guide was holding it. It’s a beautiful snorkel. The food is all super delicious. We miss it already!
Like 14👍
Not sure what this means, but it gives us good vibes 😆😉
Love this!!! Amazing experience ❤❤
We really loved swimming with turtles for the first time! 🐢 Definitely not the last! Tim saw a turtle when we snorkeled in Bali today!
The marine turtles are so majestic!! What an amazing experience getting to snorkel with them 💙
It was a great experience! We hope to be able to do it again in another country or at least scuba diving 🤿
Great see the island and turtles
Definitely, a unique experience we did not think we would be getting while in Taiwan 🤿
Looks like fun! That experience with the sea turtle family sounded incredible ❤️
We wish we could’ve captured it, but our GoPro was giving us some issues. We were thankful to have any footage at all. There were at least 7 sea turtles including a baby. So cute 🐢
Looked like such a nice island getaway! Pretty inexpensive too. Always love seeing sea turtles. Used to see them a lot when we lived in the Caribbean, they're always so serene. Looking forward to your trip in Bali. Get some of that surf footage!
We enjoyed a few days away! Our first time swimming with sea turtles and we would definitely do it again. Snorkeling in the Caribbean with sea turtles looks amazing. Where in the Caribbean did you live? We will definitely try and get surf footage 🤙🏽 still debating what we want to vlog 🏄🏻♀️
@@HelenandTimTravel we used to live in St. Kitts for 2 years while I was attending vet school there. So we definitely understand the island time you were speaking of haha. Enjoy the rest of your time in Taiwan!
Great video! I am planning a visit to this island in March - one question I have - is one overnight enough to really see it or maybe two nights absolutely needed?
Thanks! We stayed for a couple nights and felt like that was a good amount of time. Depends on if you want to snorkel/dive different sites. Seems to be the main attractions there. There are a couple nice beaches and lots of good food there. If you get there in the morning, one night should be enough. We enjoyed having two days there since we rented a moped to get around the island.
@@HelenandTimTravel Thanks for your reply and input. Trying to balance one or two days on the island vs one or two days in Taroko Gorge before having to return to Taipei for work stuff. Maybe I am trying to fit too much of those two places on not enough days. 🫣☺️
@teslarob4790 Taroko is another great spot! Only went for one night over 8 years ago and hope to get back to explore. We love snorkeling with the turtles and definitely recommend you do that. Tough decisions for sure!
Do you guys have the name of the shop that's for renting snorkeling gear ?
We have a Google maps list of the spots we loved on the island. Here’s the link including the snorkel shot ☺️
