The tour fee was affordable and definitely worth it. I didn’t feel tired during the trip because everything was well-organized and enjoyable. The places we visited were all amazing, especially the Yilan Traditional Arts Center performances, Kavalan Distillery, and Jiaoxi. I enjoyed everything so much. We also got discounts when buying products at the Kavalan store, which made the experience even better.

This tour is an interesting adventure into the laidback city of Yilan, covering a varied spread of different attractions! I really enjoyed my time even though I was travelling alone, and would recommend it to anyone who would like to do something less tourist-y. A special shout-out to Peter who was a very knowledgeable local guide that planned out our itinerary meticulously and shared key recommendations at every attraction. he took good care of the group and made the effort to keep us updated at various points of the journey. it was a pleasure to join his tour and would definitely recommend his tour to others in future!

I’ve gone on so many tours around the world and my whole family agrees this was arguably our favorite organized tour ever. We started hiking to the most breathtaking waterfall (truly! and I’ve seen many). I didn’t want to leave. We saw the friendliest animals on the farm and they were well taken care of and the staff was great. The Geopark was such a cool experience to be able to cook food you pick in a natural way! Amazing. And making a scallion pancake to top it off. The only downside was that it was an extremely hot day. Hydrate the night before it case you have a hot day ahead of you. Again, best tour in Taiwan. Xu Qiyang was a very wholesome guide. He sent information ahead of time that was very thorough and throughout the tour in translated bits to give any passenger in any language needed. We will always remember this trip.

The definite highlight of the tour is Kavalan Distillery. The English tour was great - it was quick but very informative and the guide was very friendly and engaging. I wish the alloted time at Kavalan was longer (20-30 minutes), as it felt a bit rushed. The brewing company stop afterwards was unnecessary as there was no tour of the facility or even a basic introduction to the types of beers produced. I would recommend removing this from the itinerary altogether. The rice wine factory stop afterwards was okay - primarily for historical purposes of Yilan region. But also no basic introduction or tour of the facility and its history. Wasted opportunity in my opinion. Exploring historical Shenkeng Old Street was a nice final stop on the tour. Very lovely street with shops, stalls, restaurants, etc. Known for the stinky tofu, so fair warning of the strong unpleasant smell permeating most of the street. But very nostalgic with a beautiful view of the river next to the street.

Love the kavalan whiskey visit. It was an eye opening trip. The environment was pleasant and the whiskey tasting was lovely. There was sufficient time allocated for it and we had enough time to ask the sales questions to get the whiskeys we wanted.
The gelato whiskey are a must try.
The craft beer visit was interesting too although i would think the alcohol is a little too much and not to my taste but the experience over fun overall. The view up in the tower overlooking the area is fun though.
Taiwan Brewery as the last stop was nice. The place was big and the history of it could be seen. The Shaoxing soaked eggs are also a must try. By this time, i had too much alcohol to be able to try any beer here but the recommendation of the 18 days beer by our influencer tour mate was a wonderful recommendation. The old street was a lovely walk down history too.

Wuling Farm laregly exceeded my expectations. The ride was cold and foggy yet awesome. It thought Wuling Farm would be just a line of instagrammable cherry blossom trees but there are actually a lot attractions and activity inside the compound. The hike trail, tea house, salmon/lion/snake/bird viewing.

It's already difficult for children living in the city to learn about the world through these hands-on activities. Things that used to be commonplace now need to be deliberately created. This time, we were very lucky to meet a wonderful owner. In addition to the scheduled activities, we happened to be there when the chickens were having their afternoon snack. The children, who were initially afraid of small animals, eventually became comfortable enough to hold the feed in their hands and feed them directly.

What to know before visiting Yilan
Quick snapshot of Yilan County for curious travellers
Yilan County is a relaxed coastal and countryside escape where top bookings on Klook include zoos & aquariums, historical sites, events & shows, massages and cruises. Demand has a clear yearly rhythm, with a strong summer peak and much lower interest in spring and some autumn months.
Best times to visit and what to expect on prices
Klook booking data shows the busiest months are August and September, while demand dips around April. Prices move differently across the year: they peak in September according to Klook data and fall to their lowest in February; other months see more moderate or variable pricing. For travellers wanting smaller crowds and lower typical prices, February and the quieter spring months are a good fit; if you want the full peak-season atmosphere, plan for August–September but expect higher prices then. Note that demand and price do not always move together here — September is both very busy and typically the priciest month, while August is busy but shows lower median prices than September.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most visitors from Hong Kong tend to finalise plans about six days before travel, so Yilan suits a short, flexible trip or a modestly planned weekend. Peak months named above benefit from earlier planning if you want specific dates or popular experiences; quieter months are friendlier to spontaneous booking. Use Klook to compare available experiences and lock in what you want a few days ahead.
