This island is much bigger than Green Island. Yes scooter needs license. Green island is small and they use electric scooter so don’t need license. Is better to get a guide to bring you around. You can call Mr Lin at l+886981816091 or WhatsApp him +886903352519.

So if you have booked a place you can maybe email the owner and ask about it first.)
