Although it rained for most of the trip, making the climb more difficult and risky, our leader was incredibly attentive and taught us many helpful climbing techniques. In the end, it was absolutely worth the experience, as Yushan is one of Taiwan’s most remarkable hiking trails.

We chose MOANA SUP as it's very near to our hotel. The instructor, 亞瑟, was already waiting when we arrive at 05:00 a.m, and there was only 1 other group with different instructor (not sure if it's also from MOANA SUP). There was slight miscomunication: 亞瑟 didn't prepare for aerial photography as we paid, but simple phone call solved it. The MOANA crew flew the drone from land afterwards, and we got the best videos. I paid my 7 years old son for his own board, but as he was not strong enough to paddle, 亞瑟 linked his board to his. So it was helpful. I will book again from MOANA SUP when I visit Sun Moon Lake in the future.

The staff's service attitude was very good, but the quality of the pet trailer needs improvement. I suggest replacing the pet trailer basket with a new one. The pet basket has many holes, and the zipper is broken. We can only take the dog out from above, which is very inconvenient for us who have medium to large dogs. In the process of picking it up, the dog must be held upright out of the basket, which is difficult for people to exert force and also hurts the dog's spine. Halfway through the ride, the pet basket separated directly from the bicycle because the part connecting to the bicycle was only fixed with plastic straps. The plastic straps cannot support the entire pet trailer basket + the pet's weight, so we had to reluctantly find a rope from the pet basket to re-tie it to the bicycle.

Booking and pickup through Klook was straightforward. We upgraded to a tandem bike at pickup and easily paid the difference in cash. There's a slight deduction because the helmets were forgotten.

The booking process was fast and response from vendor was responsive also. They were able to pick me up from the hotel which i stayed at Puli and drove up the meeting flight point mid mountain. Even though we had to wait for the wind to pick up, but when the wind came, the whole flight expereince was great. Instructor Liu was expereienced and we managed to fly to a high of 1,200 meters and whole flight took around 25 minutes. Saw a blurred far view of the Sun Lake Moon view (due to cloudy weather). We even flew to above the roads. The view of the mountain and wind in the air was great. Thank you Instructor Liew for a incredible flight experience for 1st timers like myself.

Easy to redeem, nice owner who was fluent in English and biked with us to show us the entrance to the bike trail. Standard bikes are a bit old but perfectly serviceable. Worth the price.

The package includes afternoon tea, dinner, and breakfast the next day, as well as bicycles and Sun Moon Lake boat tickets. The price is reasonable, and there are many new and easy-to-ride bicycles. The camper van is very clean, the staff is always ready to answer questions and very patient, and the explanations are detailed and clear.
Nantou at a glance
Quick facts about Nantou
General info
What to know before visiting Nantou
Quick snapshot of Nantou County and what to expect
Nantou County draws most bookings for zoos & aquariums, tours and theme parks, with cable cars and parks & gardens also prominent. Demand moves through clear highs and lows across the year, so the rhythm of crowds is an important part of planning a visit.
Best times to visit for price and crowds
Klook booking data shows the busiest month is January, while August is the quietest. Prices, however, don’t exactly mirror demand: prices peak around August and fall to lower levels in April, so the most expensive month by price is not the busiest by bookings. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, consider visiting in April or other shoulder months; for the peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity levels, January is the month to aim for.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia book about four days ahead on average, with many bookings possible at short notice and some done earlier. If you’re travelling during January, try to plan and lock in popular activities a little earlier than usual; for quieter months you can often be more flexible and book closer to your travel dates on Klook.
