The driver and tour guide personally picked us up and dropped us off. The itinerary was well-arranged, and there were many beautiful sights along the way, including panoramic mountain and sea views. There were designated stops for photo opportunities, which was very convenient. However, Taroko Gorge now has restrictions on times and locations, so if you plan to go on your own, you'll need to do your research beforehand.
The staff at the pick-up and drop-off counter, the captain, and the guides were all fantastic! We even managed to see whales! I recommend coming in the summer when the waves are calmer.
We were a little worried at first because we don’t speak Mandarin, but our guide who fondly calls himself Xiao Pang, spoke basic English and we used a translation app when needed.
He shared little bits of information about the places we visited, which made the experience more meaningful.
He was very patient with us, especially since we had seniors and one person with reduced mobility. He was also polite and funny.
Thank you for the wonderful experience!
I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see dolphins on this trip, but I was lucky enough to see a large group of dolphins on the way back. They even leaped out of the water and did several somersaults, which made me incredibly excited. It was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely visit Hualien again if I have the chance!
This whale watching experience in Hualien was truly unforgettable. Boarding a whale watching boat, feeling the sea breeze, and watching the waves crash against the hull was an instant moment of relaxation. The close-up views of whales and dolphins leaping and playing were vivid and breathtaking, especially appealing to children and nature lovers. The onboard commentator also provided information on marine ecology and whale/dolphin habits, adding to the fun and knowledge. The entire itinerary was well-planned, with comprehensive safety measures, and the boat was comfortable with excellent visibility, making it perfect for families, couples, or friends. This was a sea journey combining natural scenery, interactive experiences, and a sense of healing, leaving you with a lingering sense of the ocean's grandeur and beauty even after you've left.
