Things to do in Keelung

The day tour was fantastic! Our tour guide, Vincent, was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on places to visit and local food. He guided us smoothly throughout the day and made the experience memorable.

I enjoyed this tour with a small group. I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel, which made everything very convenient. In just one day I was able to see so many places—if I had tried to do it on my own using public transport, I would have only managed a few. I recommend this tour. The only part I found less impressive was the Cat Village.

This was a self-guided tour, so there was no tour guide, but overall it was a great experience! The itinerary was clear and easy to follow, and each stop was enjoyable. Everything was organized well, making it convenient to explore with plenty of time each place. I would definitely recommend this tour my family and friends.

Our guide Jerry was simply wonderful. After meeting Jerry at the station, we learned that it was just my husband and myself on this tour. Great! Our own private tour! Let me start with the weather, which was out of anyones control. The monsoon was driving towards the island which made our day extremely wet! However, Jerry met us with drinks, treats and a take-away from Taiwan, in addition to rain gear (we brought our own) plus a sturdy umbrella. He shared Taiwan's history, manuevered crowded streets through hidden passages, took plenty of pictures and ensured we were always safe. In the Keelung Market, he pointed out his favorite dishes and shared bites with us. Overall - a wonderful experience. I would love to revisit in better weather to capture the beauty of the town and ocean. Next time!

Even though it's summer vacation, it doesn't feel too crowded if you go on a weekday, especially on the Mondays they open extra days during the summer. Kids can enjoy all the facilities. Overall, it's great value for the money, especially since you can save $150 by buying tickets on Klook, which is really nice. Convenience of booking with Klook: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Facilities: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Buying the a+c Pavilion combo ticket is a great deal. It's ready to use immediately and features live fish in a large aquarium-like setting. It's a great place to escape the summer heat. There are many unique species inside. If you have children, expect to spend about 1.5 to 2 hours exploring at a leisurely pace.

A great place to play in the water and sand in the summer, there's also a visitor center with restrooms. You can grab a bite to eat after playing in the water, with light meals and coffee available. There are fish and pufferfish to see in the water. It's a great place to cool off in the summer, and with lifeguards on duty, it's very safe.

As a first-timer with zero fishing experience, I thought I'd go home empty-handed. But to my surprise, I caught eight ribbonfish! It was a really cool and fun experience. I chose the twilight tour that started around 5 PM – the sky was beautiful! At the beginning, they assign you a fishing spot and teach you how to use the fishing rod and hook the bait, etc. During the fishing process, remember to listen to the boatman about how many meters to let the line out. Then, it's time to go on board to eat and drink! As for the food, I thought it was just okay; the rice noodles were pretty bland. I was fine with seasickness, but I did take seasickness medicine beforehand. Next time, I might consider skipping it. Remember to wear light shoes like sandals or flip-flops, etc., because you're very likely to get wet. I highly recommend bringing a rag. There's a toilet and sink for washing hands on the boat, but I found it more convenient to have my own rag! They also provide free bottled ice water. Overall, it was a really fun trip! I'm still wanting more!! I want to join again.🤣 It's a pity I didn't catch any squid this time!
