Very fun sightseeing activity, though sightings are more likely to be dolphins than whales. Transfers are highly recommended (if not mandatory) unless you’re driving, as the location isn’t very accessible.
There’s a 15 to 30 minute educational briefing on commonly seen whale and dolphin species at their visitor area before being driven to the dock. The boat is clean and well-maintained.
I strongly recommend queuing early once you reach the dock to access the boat’s second floor, which offers clearer views and is less crowded (limited to 10 people). Time spent at sea depends on conditions and may be around 1 hour or less, which is understandable.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful boat ride out to Guishan Island. We saw schools of dolphin play! The island is also quite pretty after we landed though the walk was a bit short it was good to hear the history. the meet up location was confusing. You need to go into the Visitor Station on the 1st floor past the gift shop to register. That’s not quite clear from Klook instructions. Be sure to arrive early. They never emailed the night before like they said will happen. Just watch the weather.

This was my first time booking a Klook tour. The day before, they thoughtfully sent a text message with the meeting time and location (including a photo), which was a huge plus! I hadn't been to Guishan Island before and was curious about the itinerary. To my surprise, many people participated in the 401 Highland climb that day. Our guide, Mr. Dong, also climbed the entire 401 Highland with us; he must be the hardest-working guide in all of Taiwan. We arrived on the island in the morning, received a brief introduction, and then immediately started climbing the 401 Highland. The weather that day was hot and humid, and I was completely exhausted by the time we descended. In the afternoon, we took a boat tour around Guishan Island, and the onboard guide provided a very detailed explanation. We returned to port around 3 PM.

An absolutely fantastic experience!!! 100 points!! The boat was very comfortable and clean! And my mom and I didn't get seasick! Others did, haha! Seeing the ocean was truly amazing! You definitely have to choose this boat; it's a great experience, and they even provide pickup and drop-off, which is very thoughtful. I was originally worried about getting sick, even though I wore anti-nausea acupressure patches, but I guess I forgot all about it because I was in such a good mood!!!! The dolphins were super cute and there were so many of them!!!! The color of the ocean was an unparalleled blue!!!
