Yilan Outdoor & sports activities

The campsite facilities are complete and clean, and the transportation from the transfer station is convenient, about a 20-minute drive, making it excellent value for money. Even in August, it wasn't too hot at night without air conditioning. There were two cute dogs roaming around. The staff were attentive and friendly, and they even recommended some great attractions. We had a wonderful trip to Yilan! (★＞U＜★)

Our camping trip to Zawa Zawa was truly fantastic! The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, as we set up our tent and organized our gear, they thoughtfully asked if we needed any help and if we had everything we needed, which made us feel very warm and cared for. During our stay, they were also very enthusiastic, inviting us to share delicious food and chatting with us. It felt less like a typical camping trip and more like relaxing at a friend's house; the atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and laid-back. Compared to many campsites where you just confirm your spot, set up your equipment, and then leave after packing up the next morning, this place offered so much more genuine hospitality. It really made a huge difference! The overall experience definitely deserves a five-star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We will definitely come back to camp here again if we have the chance!

We had a great time making scallion pancakes (note that the pink dough is actually dough infused with dragon fruit and not food coloring), picking/ washing scallions (although it was raining), and visiting the small animal farm (fed some deers, donkeys and sheep). Highly recommend this for young kids - although I must say adults will enjoy it just as much.

Decent river rafting experience can do a small cliff dive but the group is too big. wait time kinda long

The coach provided a very detailed introduction to horses, allowing us to touch and feed them. We also practiced how to ride before heading to the beach, where we were given free rein to control the horses ourselves. The horses were all very gentle and well-behaved. The coach even taught us how to take beautiful photos and helped us capture them. I truly loved this horseback riding experience and would definitely go again if I have the chance. It was fantastic!

Overall, it was pretty good. There weren't many people canyoning, so it wasn't too crowded at any given time. What I found regrettable was the lack of thoughtful pre-trip tips, especially since many beginners likely haven't experienced this before and wouldn't know what to expect.

River tracing was an absolutely incredible experience! The scenery was breathtaking and the route was perfectly planned. ​A huge thank you to the team for being so professional and organized. The guides were super friendly and incredibly kind—they made us feel safe, kept the energy high, and even took amazing photos for us. ​If you’re in Taiwan, you have to book with these guys. Highly recommended!

This is my third time coming to Yilan for water activities, and coincidentally, it's also my third time participating in an event organized by this group. Yilan offers a wide variety of places for water activities, whether you prefer mountains or the sea. This group is maintained by local Indigenous people who grew up in the area, and they lead everyone in experiencing the joy of exploring nature's hidden gems. The base facilities are numerous, tidy, and clean, and the service is excellent. This time, perhaps because there were so many people to look after, fewer photos were taken compared to last year. Now it's time to start planning next year's activities!

The instructor was very patient, and I quickly learned how to control the horse to move forward and turn. Afterward, we rode along the riverside for about 40 minutes. This was followed by a stable tour and feeding carrots to the horses. The stables were very clean and odor-free, and the horses were well cared for. I highly recommend this experience for beginners!
