This is a great itinerary for those who are keen to spend more time at each location, with just two main activities. Our guide Xiaohei was helpful and informative the whole way, and brought us to eat a delicious beef noodles 龍記牛肉麵. Please note that it’s not really whale watching (translated in English) but more of dolphin-watching. There are two main types of dolphin, the Spinner Dolphin & Common Bottlenose Dolphin. They were extremely friendly and followed our boat and it was a spectacular treat to watch! Zhangmei Ama Farm was also relatively quiet and chill when we visited, and Xiaohei allowed us plenty of time to interact and take photos with the animals. This is a relatively new itinerary on Klook, and has nor garnered many reviews yet, but it’s one that I’m glad I explored!
I had calculated the two place is hard to get within a day and this package allows you to be at both places in a day without the hassle and enjoy the road trip view. The boat ride is super worth but seeing the whale is really needs lottery luck. But wild dolphin can be seen either near boat or from distance. the farm animals is very cute but the way they chase you for food can be really scary 😳. Best to half the leaf they give before entering or you'll panic feed before the next section and got nothing much left. Ensure you spent enough time at sheep/apalca before moving on as it is a one way trip. Guide Xiao HEI super helpful all the way and even share interesting local information during rides. Ticket at farm can be trade for dessert/snack or discount for drinks which is decent.
it was a great tour! too bad never get to see the dorphin and whale today due to the weather. but was able to see those animal at Zhang mei ah Mah farm. and they did give us a discount voucher(valid for a year) for the boat ride again scene We don’t get to see the whales today. The tour guide was great too! he make sure everyone was taken care off! brought us some free snacks. thank you!
this tour is really fun with watching dolphins (not whales) BUT not suitable for you who has motion sickness with the boat. Grandma zhang mei has nice experience with feeding the animalas. we love it because we travel with kid
I went to Dolphin Watching& Jangmei Animal Farm tour. My guide Jason was really kind and helpful! I had no problem communicating in English. Dolphins were beautiful, scenery was amazing, animals in the farm were all friendly and adorable. If you’re staying in taipei, you should definitely join this tour since the shuttle bus is included! I heard that on Monday many restaurants close so I brought my own lunch, but some restaurants are open so there’s no need to prepare for your lunch.
The itinerary allowed plenty of time for leisurely photos and sightseeing. Our guide, Xiao Hei, was very friendly. The weather for whale watching was excellent, with calm seas, and we saw many dolphins. The onboard guide provided information about the history and topography of Guishan Island, as well as the different types of dolphins.
Besides admiring the beautiful Guishan Island, we also spent a joyful day at the Lanyang Animal and Plant Kingdom! When we set sail, a group of adorable dolphins greeted us, which was a truly surprising and touching moment! If you're feeling adventurous, you can choose to sit at the bow of the boat (be prepared to get baked by the sun!), or if you want to relax, you can stay in the cabin and comfortably watch the dolphins. Both experiences are great! The tour guide on the boat was also very professional and humorous, explaining a lot of interesting facts about Guishan Island along the way, which was very rewarding. The animal kingdom we visited afterwards was also super fun! The park is designed to be very interactive, and the little animals are well taken care of and super cute. I highly recommend it for families or couples to visit together, you're guaranteed to leave with lots of memories! In addition, our guide and driver, Mr. Wang Zhongxin, was also very punctual and patient! He was very attentive and thoughtful along the way, and he really deserves praise.
I was with driver Jerry. It was my first time in this area, and he explained everything well and made sure we were comfortable getting around. I was sad that I didn't see dolphins at Turtle Island, but it was great to see capybaras. Thanks to him, I had a great trip! 😁👍
This whale watching and farm tour was great! The tour guide Jerry was enthusiastic and attentive, and he got full marks from pick-up to itinerary arrangement. It is worth experiencing!
Absolutely excellent experience! The trip was quite pleasant and enjoyable. We got 6 people as a group, Laiber is our tour guide and driver, he is sightful, professional and very friendly, during the trip, we knew more about Taiwan, Taipei and etc. Would highly recommend this tour and it is definitely worth it.
