What to expect

After working for a while, you might want to relax and unwind in nature. A lighter challenge with a higher safety factor is more likely to relieve stress. Imagine being a primitive man piloting a small boat, sometimes drifting on a plain, sometimes flying over rapids. Thrilling rafting is a good choice to relax. The beauty of Taiwan's Xiuguluan River is self-evident. Rafting here is frequent, and the professionalism of both the coaches and the equipment is trustworthy. You can ride the most advanced boat and indulge yourself without any worries.

  • Self-Bailing - Top-Notch Boat: Basic boat type with drainage holes and air cushions on the bottom, but it is more tiring than the other two hand-rowed boats because it has no wave-blocking surface and the boat is heavier.
  • Top-Notch - Rapids Star: An upgraded version of the self-bailing boat that will not completely capsize. Easy to maneuver, easy to navigate waves, and the boat is more stable. It has 11 independent air chambers, so even if one leaks, the other air chambers will still function to carry the load, making it safer to travel on the water.
  • Top-Notch - Upward Star: The bow and stern of the boat are designed with double-warped safety tips. If the boat hits a stone wall head-on, it can protect the front and rear passengers. The boat will not cover people when it capsizes, and 1/2 of the boat body is close to the water, which makes rafting more exciting. The special drainage groove design at the bottom of the boat makes it easier for the boat to move forward and safely challenge the rapids.

When going to play, there are detailed pre-departure explanations. There are also many necessary supplies and shoes that can be purchased or rented. Remember to wear sunscreen, otherwise you will still get sunburned even if you wear long sleeves without the scorching sun. It was rainy and the river water was low to medium. The water level and our two boats had a lot of fun. The coach also made a lot of waves for us. The coaches will help take pictures. It’s a pity that most of the photos are not very clear, but fortunately, we have a brave teammate who took the risk of jumping into the water with his mobile phone to take pictures for us. There are a lot of photos, but I am responsible for the phone jumping! The scenery along the road is beautiful, and several rapids coaches will tell you that the safe arrival is interrupted. There are delicious meat dumplings and a small shop where you can buy food and change clothes. The place is very clean and well-equipped. It is really far away from Hualien city. The shuttle bus can be purchased additionally. The driver is also very humorous. The whole experience is great.

Super fun! It’s really a once in a lifetime experience~ But it’s better to evaluate your own situation before playing. There is a high chance that you will fall into the water or hit the rocks! ! We must wear the basics of long sleeves, long pants, and covered shoes~ The coach will always look forward and backward during the process. Every time he sees that we are about to hit the mountain wall or the current is extreme, he will push us to a safe road. The team must be sure It would be better to have a few boys and teamwork is very important! After playing, there are free showers and vegetarian rice dumplings. This is a great experience🤗

It is recommended that if you are traveling with a family (old and young) or women with less strength, you can choose the upward star, which saves effort when moving forward, the first choice! It is very convenient to pick up and drop off at fixed points, which is very suitable for motorcycles traveling in Hualien! Get in the car to sleep, get off the car and go boating. The fellow travelers have sensitive skin. After the boating, there are skin allergies. It is recommended to wash it off with bath products immediately after going ashore. In addition, be sure to wear clothes with sun protection function, it is really super dry! ! Wearing long-sleeved trousers that day was still super tanned. It is also recommended to carry a waterproof mobile phone bag and bring your own change and personal change of clothes. After landing, there will be many showers, dehydrators and canteens that you can use and buy. It is super convenient ~ just ask Hurry up and grab it! Especially for passengers who have booked round-trip transfers, as the departure time will be announced after landing, try to rush to the shower booth as quickly as possible (the girls' area will be full of people...)

There is a shuttle bus that can pick you up, and you can choose to pick up at Hualien Transit Station or Dongdamen Night Market. If you need clothes, shoes and other supplies that need to go boating at the scene, you can buy them on the spot. The water level is low that day, so there is a section where the coach connects the boat tow Walking, there is shampoo and shower gel provided at the end of the washroom. The dehydrator and hair dryer are in the coin room. At the end, there are small snacks and meat dumplings to eat

Rafting is more fun than expected. Because I am afraid of the sun, it is almost wrapped up. When the current in the middle is not so fast, everyone will splash water on each other and attack other boats. It is very interesting. It is very convenient to use the klook platform to buy, and the price is very cost-effective, and new households only need to enter 2N85A, and they can get another 100 yuan discount.

What I felt very much during this trip is that the customer service staff of the industry patiently helped to handle things well! I almost couldn't make it to the 6/24 (11:00) show because of a temporary car accident! The operator said it was okay, and it would be delayed for another half an hour! In case of real delay, they will help me reschedule! In the end, I just arrived and successfully participated in this event! During the process, I also felt the intention of the operator and the maintenance of safety, so that the children and my family of four had fun playing (although it was merged with another family of four on the same boat)! The only fly in the ointment is that some safety rescue personnel may be too conscientious, or they may be too worried about our safety! Without blowing the whistle, the boat sailed directly to hit it! At the moment my body suffered an instability which caused some strain on the neck cone (sore medicine cloth was applied for almost two days), and some abrasions on my feet! But being able to finish this activity safely is also thanks to the industry for their emphasis on safety! Let me share it with you! Participated in the event, fun and safe rafting operators! Next time I have a chance, I will still choose this company!

Although the water level is low and medium, there are still a few small rapids, and the water battles between the ships are fierce, which is very fun! Along the road, we also saw Qiang Mountains, the scenery is very beautiful! At 9:00, take the upward tour bus at Hualien Transit Station and start. At the end, there are many shower rooms, and there is plenty of time. Not only did I take a shower, but I also ate rice dumplings and popsicles given by filling in the google comments! The life jacket has a stand-up collar, the helmet has a brim, and long-sleeved trousers provide good sun protection. The only tan is the small gap between the trousers and the shoes. The color difference is a bit exaggerated😅! I will participate again next time!

I just took my kids there in April and found it very exciting. This time I specially invited my colleagues to go rafting in Hualien. This time, I prepared my raincoat and mobile phone case first. The experience was quite thrilling because the water level was high after the typhoon and a woman fell into the stream. Fortunately, she was rescued quickly by the coach.

The day before, there will be upward rafting personnel contacting the assembly time, location, and precautions. The coach's explanation is very clear. The boat type-upward star is really great. Only our family of 4 bought the upward star in this echelon, so 4 people can sit in a boat, and the whole person can sit in it. It is very comfortable, and it is not easy to capsize when encountering rapids. The protection is also very good.
