Fantastic 5.0
easy to find the workshop as we toom a taxi. located in a quiet area. staff explained to us about the different types of Taiwanese jade and also comparing it to imported jades from Indonesia, South Africa etc. Each of us get to choose a jade design we like before doing own polishing. The staff was there whenever we needed help on our jade. my family is very satisfied with our own jades.

The instructors are very friendly, providing detailed explanations and patient one-on-one guidance. Completing the artwork is very rewarding. However, the packaging could be more careful. In addition to the plastic zip-lock bag, I recommend providing bubble wrap to prevent the glass beads from breaking upon impact.

I have taken many whale watching boats, and this one is highly recommended. The new boat does not have a bad smell, the guide is also very good at creating an atmosphere, and all questions can be answered. Summer is really suitable for whale watching. I recommend this business to everyone.

Last year there was an earthquake, and I was a little worried about the tour because I don't speak Chinese and my English isn't fluent, but to sum it up, it was the best tour ever. Unfortunately, it will take some time for the gorge to be fully restored, but it was still wonderful. Thanks to Tommy guide's kind guidance and wit, I was able to finish the tour from beginning to end without any shortcomings. If I visit Taiwan again, I will definitely come to Hualien again! Thank you so much for leaving me with such a good memory~

After purchasing the tour, add Whale World's Line account to receive notifications about check-in details. The young lady who explained everything after check-in was very clear, articulate, and fluent. After boarding, we put on our life jackets. The boat was clean and tidy, and the staff provided detailed explanations throughout the trip. They also reminded the children at the bow to be careful and reminded parents to take good care of their kids. On this trip, we saw spotted dolphins, and the explanation was very clear, interesting, and humorous. We also understood the importance of tourism and ecological environment protection. Whale World whale watching is highly recommended.

We booked for two people, and told the coach on site that we wanted a boat for two people. The rental time is very flexible (but basically you will get tired after more than an hour 🤣). The scenery is very beautiful, and it is very nice to go around the lake. The rental coach is very nice and told us if there are any recommended delicious food. He is friendly to newbies. I recommend everyone to come~

So much fun! Make sure to wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. The staff provides a very detailed explanation before the activity and pays close attention to everyone's safety during the rafting. After reaching the finish line and getting ashore, there are hot showers available, and you can even grab a zongzi to satisfy your hunger. Highly recommend white water rafting when you visit Hualien!
