Yayu

"Yayu" (野遊) is a combination of Japanese characters meaning to “play outdoors” (野外で遊ぶ). When playing in nature, there are risks that cannot be seen. We want our guests to enjoy the beauty of nature through a safe SUP (stand up paddle) experience. Since this experience program will be held with a small number of people, the instructor will be able to carefully teach each participant about proper paddling technique and manage the safety of the group. Since the instructor is from Taiwan, he can speak Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese and English! Furthermore, the instructor is a Japan SUPA (Stand Up Paddle Association) certified instructor with 10 years of SUP experience, and even participated as an athlete on the SUP Taiwan national team, as well as guided many tourists. Experience a fun SUP tour with the support and safety expertise of a guide with an abundance of experience. Since the guide is from Taiwan, you can also ask about various information such as Taiwanese culture and tourist information.
