On the first day of picking up the car, there were many people and a wait due to the holiday, but the service staff still explained things politely, clearly explained the details of the car pick-up, and returned the car quickly.
Although it rained this time, it didn't affect our overall itinerary. We traveled from Sun Moon Lake to Checheng, and our driver, Sister Xiao Qiu, was very punctual and made driving very safe and efficient. She managed the time perfectly. I highly recommend her for a day trip!
Everything was planned efficiently. We had enough time to wander around and take photos by ourselves which was very appreciated. The program was perfect as it takes us to the main spots in taroko and Hualien. I would maybe just point out that the museum at the end wasn’t quite as interesting because of the lack of translations for foreigners but it’s understandable !!
Lastly, I I really wanted want to put in light our driver’s incredible passion and professionalism. He was such a friendly and nice person and I loved to hear about his stories and facts about Hualien !!!
Originally, the trip was scheduled to begin on the first day, but due to weather issues, the shop rescheduled our departure. The day itself was a bit overcast, but the shop still kept the boat impeccably clean, including the deck. Unlike some boats that look dirty, the boat was spotless. The waves were so big that I felt really seasick; even after taking seasickness medication, I still felt a bit nauseous. The staff would check on me frequently, which was very thoughtful. Nevertheless, we successfully spotted sperm whales! 🐋👍
The staff were friendly during check-in; the ship was very clean; the explanations were professional and well-organized; and the staff were very welcoming to children.
