Penghu Main Island and Island Hopping

Based in Magong, explore the northern loop of the main island, plus two island-hopping trips to Qimei, Wang'an, and Jibei.

Staying in Magong for the entire trip avoids the hassle of changing hotels. Fly in on the first day to explore the Old Town, take a southern island-hopping trip on the second day to see the Twin-Heart Stone Weir, ride a scooter along the northern loop on the third day to see basalt columns and the Moses-style parting of the sea, and head to Jibei on the final day. Island hopping is highly dependent on sea conditions, so scheduling it in the early to middle part of the trip leaves room for adjustments. Perfect for a summer island vacation; not recommended in winter.

Starting in October, the northeast monsoon is strong, and ferry services to Qimei and Jibei are frequently suspended.
