I went to Dolphin Watching& Jangmei Animal Farm tour. My guide Jason was really kind and helpful! I had no problem communicating in English. Dolphins were beautiful, scenery was amazing, animals in the farm were all friendly and adorable. If you’re staying in taipei, you should definitely join this tour since the shuttle bus is included! I heard that on Monday many restaurants close so I brought my own lunch, but some restaurants are open so there’s no need to prepare for your lunch.
it was a great tour! too bad never get to see the dorphin and whale today due to the weather. but was able to see those animal at Zhang mei ah Mah farm. and they did give us a discount voucher(valid for a year) for the boat ride again scene We don’t get to see the whales today. The tour guide was great too! he make sure everyone was taken care off! brought us some free snacks. thank you!
this tour is really fun with watching dolphins (not whales) BUT not suitable for you who has motion sickness with the boat. Grandma zhang mei has nice experience with feeding the animalas. we love it because we travel with kid
I had calculated the two place is hard to get within a day and this package allows you to be at both places in a day without the hassle and enjoy the road trip view. The boat ride is super worth but seeing the whale is really needs lottery luck. But wild dolphin can be seen either near boat or from distance. the farm animals is very cute but the way they chase you for food can be really scary 😳. Best to half the leaf they give before entering or you'll panic feed before the next section and got nothing much left. Ensure you spent enough time at sheep/apalca before moving on as it is a one way trip. Guide Xiao HEI super helpful all the way and even share interesting local information during rides. Ticket at farm can be trade for dessert/snack or discount for drinks which is decent.
This is a great itinerary for those who are keen to spend more time at each location, with just two main activities. Our guide Xiaohei was helpful and informative the whole way, and brought us to eat a delicious beef noodles 龍記牛肉麵. Please note that it’s not really whale watching (translated in English) but more of dolphin-watching. There are two main types of dolphin, the Spinner Dolphin & Common Bottlenose Dolphin. They were extremely friendly and followed our boat and it was a spectacular treat to watch! Zhangmei Ama Farm was also relatively quiet and chill when we visited, and Xiaohei allowed us plenty of time to interact and take photos with the animals. This is a relatively new itinerary on Klook, and has nor garnered many reviews yet, but it’s one that I’m glad I explored!
Jason, our tour guide, is fantastic. He took care of us and always ensuring our well being. He’s also very patient and explain the location we are at with great details.
the thing is becoause of the typhoon i could not visit this .so the guide got me another trip to alishan immediately previous day and it was the best one.
Absolutely excellent experience! The trip was quite pleasant and enjoyable. We got 6 people as a group, Laiber is our tour guide and driver, he is sightful, professional and very friendly, during the trip, we knew more about Taiwan, Taipei and etc. Would highly recommend this tour and it is definitely worth it.
I was with driver Jerry. It was my first time in this area, and he explained everything well and made sure we were comfortable getting around. I was sad that I didn't see dolphins at Turtle Island, but it was great to see capybaras. Thanks to him, I had a great trip! 😁👍
Guide was ok. But he didn't come with us on boat so non English speakers can't communicate with boat crew if need anything. Took almost 3 hours on boat. Bring medication for sea sickness as when the boat stops the wave will make you nauseous. Few people vomited, they do provide plastic bags to vomit in. Next he brought us to a tiny restaurant then left. They only speak in Chinese and since the guide not around hard communicate end up getting yelled at. Had to beg with mandarin speakers with me on tour to help me out, still got yelled at by the vendor. Very embarrassing. Next we went to farm and again guide didn't come with us, good thing some of the workers could speak basic English. I suggest the guide to stick with the group the whole time and help out and not just dropping us here and there and dissappear. Even though there are mandarin speakers in group we don't know each other, nobody talk to each other, everyone from different countries. It's the guide job to stick with us and help us till the tour ends. Else what's the point in being guide, I could just hire a taxi to bring me around. Anyway the guide Peter is not that bad and I had good experience overall, just please improve
