Hualien: Secret Canyoning Adventure

We were picked up at our lodging and taken to beautiful mountain scenery. Our guide was so strong that if I took the more difficult path instead of the easier one he could just lift or support me in the current. I am grateful for him and the lovely English he spoke. We even got hot noodles to warm up part way. Best experience!

We went river tracing at Sapadang River during our trip to Hualien. The stream water was clear and cool. Led by the coach, we moved along the stream valley, climbing rocks and diving. Every step was full of challenges and fun. The moment we jumped into the deep pool was the most unforgettable, both exciting and refreshing. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with mountains and streams interwoven, allowing people to relax completely. This trip not only brought us closer to nature but also enhanced the understanding between companions. It is really worth experiencing.

I gave my first river tracing experience to Hualien River Tracing King! Because it was summer vacation, there were many groups that day. Our group had 15 people, with two coaches taking care of us from the front and back. The coaches also helped everyone take pictures and took great care of each member. The whole trip was very fun and exciting. Soaking in the stream in the summer was so refreshing. After finishing, there was hot ramen to eat. This experience was great 👍 I will come again next time!

The little coach is kind and humorous. He pays special attention to our safety. He also adds a lot of knowledge about river tracing and wilderness survival. More importantly, he helps us take many beautiful photos❤️

The experience is really worth it. There are 10 people in our group. The coaches are very experienced and humorous. In addition, it’s okay to wear glasses. Just ask others to help you hold them when diving. Just close your eyes with contact lenses. 🤣 All the things are left in the car. Only people go tracing the river, so don’t worry about whether you have forgotten to bring anything. It is recommended to wear slippers. It is convenient to change clothes. If you are afraid temporarily, you can also walk on the stone road (newbies are super friendly). Generally speaking, most of the time is in the water, which is super cool (with life jackets, you can always float on the water). The coach will help take photos at any time and drop them to us in the end. The scenery is beautiful, comfortable and safe. At the end, the coach also cooked instant noodles for us to eat when we come back. It’s really super happy. In short, it is highly recommended.

With the hot weather in the summer, river trekking was a great way to cool off and also explore the beautiful natural scenery of Hualien. It rained the past few days so the water level and intensity was higher than normal but it was fun regardless and done in a safe way. The coach, xingtian, was also a great, chill guy, and picked us up (half day, transportation included package) which was very convenient. We were in a group of 5 so there was really no waiting time and we could do all the activities (cliff jumping). Highly recommend if you want an activity that takes you out of your comfort zone safely. Planning to come back and maybe do a full day tour if possible someday. Note: You don't need to bring anything like goggles, passport, and etc, just a change of clothes and a towel to help dry off. Would recommend to wear a swimsuit before getting there so you don't need to change in the tent, putting on the wetsuit outside was much easier and faster.

Amazing experience with our guide, Xiao Tian! I highly recommend this!!! The clearest river I have ever swum in and very cooling. You can choose to do the jumps/slides. Physical fitness requires for climbing over rocks. I speak very little Chinese and the tour wasn’t available in English, but it didn’t matter too much - we had another traveller who kindly helped translate and you can generally follow what everyone else does.

The whole process was quite exhausting. There were both young and old in our group. No one was left behind after the completion. The accompanying team was very good. There were people taking care of us throughout the process. We also stopped to rest midway depending on the team's condition. It was a great experience.

Our activity was postponed by to the next morning due to weather. But communication with them was easy (in Mandarin). This is a different kind of activity for me. It was fun floating in the cold water and the cliff jumping (7m high!) was insane. Honestly, the climb up to the top was scarier than the jump itself. The noodles at the end made it good as well. Oh! Do wear long pants so that you won't get bitten by their mosquitoes. & You can bring your phone if you want, just remember to use the waterproof holder. Bags are left in the van.

An absolute must-do experience in the heart of nature! Everything was very beautiful and fun.
