Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (June to August and Chinese New Year), when Kenting’s accommodations fill up months early. If you’re arriving without a car, take advantage of the homestay’s paid airport shuttle from Kaohsiung International Airport to avoid the hassle of public transit transfers. Bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring nearby trails, and don’t forget high SPF sunscreen—Kenting’s tropical sun is strong year-round. For guests staying in rooms with kitchen access, stop by the nearby Kenting fresh market to pick up local tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapples to store in your in-room fridge.
