Location: Convenient, near Provincial Highway 2. Experience: Kids loved it. It's a 70-minute experience. We didn't catch even half a pound of shrimp, but they supplement it. You can purchase anything over half a pound for $350. Safety: Safe, no dangers. Just be careful of the hooks.

Totally worth it! The boat we took that day was very new, and the guides were friendly and engaging. They shared many fascinating geographical features and cultural stories about Turtle Island and Toucheng. The weather was clear that day, and we were lucky enough to see a large pod of spinner dolphins, including some very cute baby dolphins! I highly recommend this trip and will definitely return if I have the chance. 🐬

A highly recommended spot for family fun and interaction. It's very beginner-friendly for shrimp fishing, making it easy to catch some. They also have occasional events and delicious shrimp cakes available.

Besides admiring the beautiful Guishan Island, we also spent a joyful day at the Lanyang Animal and Plant Kingdom! When we set sail, a group of adorable dolphins greeted us, which was a truly surprising and touching moment! If you're feeling adventurous, you can choose to sit at the bow of the boat (be prepared to get baked by the sun!), or if you want to relax, you can stay in the cabin and comfortably watch the dolphins. Both experiences are great! The tour guide on the boat was also very professional and humorous, explaining a lot of interesting facts about Guishan Island along the way, which was very rewarding. The animal kingdom we visited afterwards was also super fun! The park is designed to be very interactive, and the little animals are well taken care of and super cute. I highly recommend it for families or couples to visit together, you're guaranteed to leave with lots of memories! In addition, our guide and driver, Mr. Wang Zhongxin, was also very punctual and patient! He was very attentive and thoughtful along the way, and he really deserves praise.

We were very lucky to see so many dolphins that day. Local transportation isn't convenient, so it would be great to have a shuttle from Yilan.

experience: seasoned staff to take care of participants. The schedule was ran smoothly. For me, it was quite amazing to see such a school of dolphins and we were very fortunate to have good weather and relatively calm waters. Guishan island is rich with history and also an active volcano island.
