📍 Hualien Backpacking Boat Secret Expedition Experience
⛰️ Overlooking the Qingshui Cliffs, drifting towards the Pacific Ocean 😎
🔆 Located in the broad "plains area" at the mouth of the sea, the creek bed has a gentle slope, slow water flow, and shallow water depth, making it a suitable venue for beginners. The adjacent sandbars have been the activity area for many beach car operators for years. Compared to the risk of flash floods in mountain streams, it's much safer here. If the water level becomes too high due to continuous heavy rain, making the activity unsafe, we will firmly cancel the tour.
【Can non-swimmers participate?】
Life jackets are provided during the activity, ensuring safety in case of accidental falls into the water. In some areas, the water is only knee-deep, and participants can stand up on their own. The coach will be with you throughout the activity, so there's no need to worry even if you can't swim! This itinerary includes instructor-led guidance and safety measures to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment! ODoor will carefully organize various difficulty levels, offering outdoor activities suitable for both adults and families. Here, you can easily choose the secret journey that best suits you!

【About Odoor】
Odoor comes from the original meaning of Outdoor, representing our yearning for outdoor living.
The first letter "O" represents the comfort zone. Stepping out of the comfort zone requires courage to face fears, and the driving force behind all courage is the passion in our hearts. Letting the elements of an electrocardiogram break through the comfort zone "O", it constantly reminds us: "Be brave. Both you and I have fears, but the beauty of life lies beyond that comfort zone!"
