This was my first time going whale and dolphin watching, and today we were on the Kai Jing Hao. The parking lot was conveniently located right next to it. There's been a typhoon offshore recently, so the waves were quite long and made for a very exciting ride. We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins, and we even saw two different types of dolphins today! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to spot any whales. If you tend to get seasick, I recommend sitting on the second floor where you can feel the sea breeze; it helps a lot. On the way back, the rocking motion was so soothing I almost fell asleep. 😂 This was a really fresh and new experience. They also provided water on the boat, so there's no need to bring your own drinks. I'll definitely come again next time!

We had great luck with the weather; it was beautiful with hardly any waves. Chasing dolphins was quite tiring, but our second trip to Guishan Island was a huge success!

This trip was absolutely wonderful and enjoyable! Along the way, we learned about Wushi Fishing Harbor, the history of Guishan Island, and the coastal scenery. On the return journey, we serendipitously encountered the flying fish season, with schools of flying fish greeting us – it was so delightful! We're already planning to visit Guishan Island's 401 Highland again next year.

It was raining yesterday, but today the sun is shining brightly. The weather was a bit hot, and we even saw wild dolphins! They played a little hide-and-seek with us, but we still managed to catch a glimpse. We're very grateful to the boat crew for their detailed explanations. We feel so lucky that everything went smoothly.

The process was incredibly smooth, from the meeting point to the explanations and experience on board, everything was excellent. We were very lucky to see many dolphins this time. Although it was rainy and the waves were a bit rough, the captain thoughtfully shared tips to prevent seasickness, like looking at the horizon. The tour around Turtle Island was also fantastic. Highly recommended!

Bringing the kids here for their first shrimp fishing experience was so much fun! We had barely sat down when we caught a really big, lively shrimp! The bait was dried shrimp, which was a bit hard to hook. The shrimp were quite easy to catch; we rented two rods for 70 minutes and each caught 12 shrimp. The kids felt a great sense of accomplishment! Some of the shrimp can pinch, but gloves are provided. Staff are available to assist with any questions. Shrimp crackers and drinks are available on-site, and these are included with Klook ticket purchases. There's also a shrimp fishing competition where the first few people to catch a shrimp during the same time period can claim a shrimp cracker. After fishing and weighing your catch, you can take your bucket of shrimp to the self-service grilling area across the way or have them cooked by staff. It was truly delicious and enjoyable!

During this whale watching trip, the captain told us we encountered a pod of false killer whales, which only happens every two or three years. We were really lucky! Free water was also provided on the boat.
