Hualien Outdoor & sports activities

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!

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!

There are many time slots to choose from, and the pier is easily accessible by bus (310) or taxi even if you go on your own. The weather was great, and the staff was very attentive. You can also store your luggage at the pier office. Thanks to the crew's efforts, we even managed to see a pod of dolphins.

Facilities: The boat is new, with ample seating space inside and out. Safety: Plenty of life jackets are available. Location: The meeting point is clear, but parking spaces may be limited when crowded. Experience: We were lucky enough to see dolphins jumping on the surface this time! Hopefully, we'll have a chance to see whales next time!

Absolutely excellent experience. There is no English explanation so please use Google Transcribe to understand the guide.

There's a free shuttle from Xincheng Station, and the ATV was a lot of fun and totally worth it. The instructor helped us take lots of beautiful photos, which was great. Also, the photos taken at the Mirror of the Sky were beautiful and unique, making it a really fun experience.

The only thing is the open space for playing is a bit tiny and being covered by all the buildings. Dz

We went river tracing at Sapadang River during our trip to Hualien. The stream water was clear and cool. Led by the coach, we moved along the stream valley, climbing rocks and diving. Every step was full of challenges and fun. The moment we jumped into the deep pool was the most unforgettable, both exciting and refreshing. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with mountains and streams interwoven, allowing people to relax completely. This trip not only brought us closer to nature but also enhanced the understanding between companions. It is really worth experiencing.
