Go out to sea by boat, enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the rare leisure time. The undulating mountains in the distance contrast with the blue sea and blue sky. Whales and dolphins jump out of the sea, showing their vitality and elegance. The splashing water seems to be the joyful song of the sea. Observe these charming creatures and feel the mystery and magic of nature. This journey is full of surprises and leaves beautiful memories. I look forward to experiencing this touching experience again next time.

After purchasing the tour, add Whale World's Line account to receive notifications about check-in details. The young lady who explained everything after check-in was very clear, articulate, and fluent. After boarding, we put on our life jackets. The boat was clean and tidy, and the staff provided detailed explanations throughout the trip. They also reminded the children at the bow to be careful and reminded parents to take good care of their kids. On this trip, we saw spotted dolphins, and the explanation was very clear, interesting, and humorous. We also understood the importance of tourism and ecological environment protection. Whale World whale watching is highly recommended.

The two instructors were fantastic today! They were very attentive, constantly reminding and instructing us on how to paddle and get on the board. They also kept a close eye on whether any of us were feeling unwell or tired, and they took so many beautiful photos for us! The whole trip was safe and comfortable. Thank you so much! I'd love to come again sometime. 🥹

The ATV ride was super fun and exciting! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire experience. We didn’t have to wait long, which was a big plus. After the ride, we were offered cold water and refreshing lemon juice — such a thoughtful touch! The shower facilities were also very clean and convenient. And let me tell you — the photography skills are incredible! Ohh, the pictures came out so beautiful! They really captured the adventure perfectly. I highly recommend trying the ATV if you're ever in Hualien — it’s an unforgettable experience!

A truly unique experience! The instructors are great at guiding and taking photos! I thought it would be difficult to handle and dangerous, but it wasn't at all. Thanks to the instructors, I got the hang of it quickly! The ATV tour takes you on land and in shallow water, and they also record videos and take photos! I thought it was awesome! I would recommend friends to try it if they have the chance!

The coach was humorous and meticulous, and the "Mirror of the Sky" photos were taken professionally and beautifully 😍. Although we were covered in sand and dirt from head to toe at the end of the trip, we had a lot of fun 🥳. The "Mirror of the Sky" ATV package included: a baseball cap, sunglasses, a face mask, and flip-flops. My family is going to Hualien this month, and I also recommended Meng Ge. Meng Ge's "Mirror of the Sky" ATV is awesome 👍👍👍!

The instructor was absolutely amazing - so humorous and funny (and even hung out with us!😆). Their photography skills are top-notch👍🏻, and we got so many photos (check out this one of our backs😜). The teaching style was also easy to understand (even those too scared to stand up at first ended up succeeding 👏🏻). We booked super last minute, just two days before, and a lot of instructors were at the harvest festival, so it was hard to find someone. This instructor came all the way from Taipei to Hualien just to teach us and didn't cancel our booking (so touched🥹). The scenery at Liyu Lake is stunning. I highly, highly recommend this activity!😍
