Lotus WakePark 蓮潭滑水主題樂園 — Attraction in Kaohsiung

It’s a good place to learn wakeboard. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is a place suitable for average swimmers. A swimming test is needed before playing. (Swim around 15-20m). Offers kneeboard and standboard. Need to add 300ntd for the beginner tutorials also provide a separate wakeboard area for beginners. Not sure if they provide English version. The tutorial is in Mandarin. After u can master squat and let one hand go on the stand board. Then, you can take the intermediate course and play the main area. Don’t afraid to ask the staff for the skills. They are very good at pointing out your problems.

The inflatable slide is not really in used. Therefore, kids don’t play wakeboard is not really recommended for this place.

As the other reviews, the water is not very clear and sometimes there’s dead fish but the staff were already keeping their best to maintain the place to be clean. Don’t go if u can’t accept the city’s ocean/lake (not clean as Maldives of coz). Though i write this review because they will offer you another free ticket for your next time but this place deserves a five star!

Very enjoyable day here. I was a total beginner to water skiing but you start off in an initial training area to build up experience & confidence. Safety demonstration and safety gear were comprehensive, and guides offered useful advice to encourage incremental improvements. It was very satisfying to end the day being able to do multiple laps of the main course.

Besides the main activity, there's other things to do at the site - paddle boarding, eating food or observing other participants from their lockout zone. WiFi is also available. In total I spent about 5 hours here; they do regular breaks throughout the day, which is important for participant safety and staff welfare. I got the impression that the staff really like working here which was great to see. A kind team member helped to share photos taken from a GoPro with me.

Top tip - the surrounding area around the lake has lots of attractions with a nice walk around the perimeter. I did a lap (approx. 1 hour) and saw several sites...

The wake boarding or water skiing experience was great and amazing to try for the first time. They were helpful and their teaching went well despite the language barrier (English speaker). They used apps to translate if they couldn't do it themselves. BEWARE you MUST take introductory class before using the rest of your time. Its a time based activity as in you pay for an hour or two for example. It was 900 kwd to pay for one person. 600 for the 1 hour and 300 for the intro class. They don't tell you that the intro class is a part of the one hour so you could spend the entire hour on the intro class. I didnt know so I felt like I wasted my time and was cheated out of spending time on the big course. The intro course is a separate smaller piece. It is more cost effective and more fun if you buy the whole day pass but I dont remember the price for that one. At least more efficient if you want...
