Yilan Outdoor & sports activities

We had a great time making scallion pancakes (note that the pink dough is actually dough infused with dragon fruit and not food coloring), picking/ washing scallions (although it was raining), and visiting the small animal farm (fed some deers, donkeys and sheep). Highly recommend this for young kids - although I must say adults will enjoy it just as much.

The coach provided a very detailed introduction to horses, allowing us to touch and feed them. We also practiced how to ride before heading to the beach, where we were given free rein to control the horses ourselves. The horses were all very gentle and well-behaved. The coach even taught us how to take beautiful photos and helped us capture them. I truly loved this horseback riding experience and would definitely go again if I have the chance. It was fantastic!

River tracing was an absolutely incredible experience! The scenery was breathtaking and the route was perfectly planned. ​A huge thank you to the team for being so professional and organized. The guides were super friendly and incredibly kind—they made us feel safe, kept the energy high, and even took amazing photos for us. ​If you’re in Taiwan, you have to book with these guys. Highly recommended!

Every coach on the team was very responsible and dedicated, ensuring my son and I had a safe and enjoyable first white-water rafting experience. They also took many beautiful photos and videos for us, leaving us with wonderful memories.

Great value for money. The tent has air conditioning, so it's quite cool. There are many clean restrooms available. You can bring your own ingredients for a barbecue; meals are not included. The hot pressed toast for breakfast is delicious. You can also borrow badminton rackets and a shuttlecock for free (though there's only one shuttlecock).

Our camping trip to Zawa Zawa was truly fantastic! The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, as we set up our tent and organized our gear, they thoughtfully asked if we needed any help and if we had everything we needed, which made us feel very warm and cared for. During our stay, they were also very enthusiastic, inviting us to share delicious food and chatting with us. It felt less like a typical camping trip and more like relaxing at a friend's house; the atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and laid-back. Compared to many campsites where you just confirm your spot, set up your equipment, and then leave after packing up the next morning, this place offered so much more genuine hospitality. It really made a huge difference! The overall experience definitely deserves a five-star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We will definitely come back to camp here again if we have the chance!

This is my third time coming to Yilan for water activities, and coincidentally, it's also my third time participating in an event organized by this group. Yilan offers a wide variety of places for water activities, whether you prefer mountains or the sea. This group is maintained by local Indigenous people who grew up in the area, and they lead everyone in experiencing the joy of exploring nature's hidden gems. The base facilities are numerous, tidy, and clean, and the service is excellent. This time, perhaps because there were so many people to look after, fewer photos were taken compared to last year. Now it's time to start planning next year's activities!

Experience: A very relaxing experience. It starts with giving carrots to interact with the horses. Staff will be there to introduce the horses' personalities and things to note. Then, staff will lead the horse for a walk indoors, and finally a walk along the river (also led by staff). I booked an earlier time slot this time (10 AM). I heard that if you go for a walk later in the day, the horses will want to go back to eat quickly, so the return trip will be faster. I'd like to try that next time.

I was very lucky to book the last available room on Klook, as other booking sites showed no vacancies. It's also a rare pet-friendly RV campsite! However, there are quite a few insects in nature, and small bugs occasionally appear in the room. If you're very bothered by this, you might want to reconsider. The breakfast was very generous!
