Alishan tours

I had an incredible experience on the Alishan Day Tour booked via Klook in January 2026. The entire process was smooth from booking to the tour day. The pickup was punctual, and the tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and beauty of Alishan. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, especially the sunrise view from the summit — a highlight of the trip! The train ride through the lush forests and the iconic Giant Tree were unforgettable moments. The weather in January was chilly but clear, perfect for sightseeing and photography. The tour included comfortable transportation, well-organized stops, and enough free time to explore each site. Overall, it exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the natural wonders of Alishan with convenience and expert guidance.

We had an enjoyable day with our tour, and special shout out to Kevin our tour leader driver. He's friendly and helpful, great driver. Very punctual too. The tour takes the full day and there's fair bit of walk. So be prepared for that. The scenery is beautiful and the walk is easy to moderate difficulty. All the trail is paved or steps.

The experience was breathtaking and educational. Alishan Forest is magical. We had lunch included in the tour and fresh fruits. We also get to ride the train. Maggie, our english guide is very kind and very knowledgeable. I will come back here for sure!

Transport arrangements was great with pick-up and drop-off at our hotel. Clean and comfortable vehicle, spacious for the entire trip as the drives were pretty long. We could only look at Eternal Bridge from the bottom as it was closed and couldn't cross the bridge. Alishan was so beautiful. Quiet and serene. We were lucky that it was not crowded day based on the guide's experience. Tea-picking experience and tea-tasting was interesting too. We learnt a lot from the local tea farmer and had great variety of tea to sample.

In the hot summer, this trip was great. It felt cool to go to the mountains and the air was fresh. The driver was very attentive and introduced the features and helped take photos. Everyone had a great time.

The guide was friendly and the food was hearty and delicious! (The weather was late December) It was chillier up there than I expected, so a coat is a must. The review photos focused on photos of the dense forest, but there was more to see at the top of Arasan than I expected. Alleys, stairs, cats, small temples, etc. It may be difficult for very young children because the distance is quite long. It was fun to hang out at the arrival location and I took close to 500 photos to keep as memories with my friends. It was great because there were a lot of photo spots! I think it's suitable for couples, friends, couples, or for a one-day company workshop..! You can also ride a train that gives you a sense of history and is very charming. It took 2 hours on the road and 1 hour to climb from the bottom to the top of Arasan (this is the biggest hurdle...), but we took a big bus. Even though I went when the weather was nice, it was really nice to see the fog in the forest. Fortunately, the driver was very nice and I didn't get car sick even though it was a really curved road. I fainted when I came back after seeing it all. And physically, it's not that hard, so you can think of it as just a walk(?). When I came back, I still had some stamina left. I think it wasn't difficult because it was a route that slowly descended from the highest point to the bottom. Anyway, it was a trip worth taking for a day during a long trip to Taichung.

This was a very well-organized trip. I wasn’t expecting much and this exceeded my expectations. From the confirmation whatsapp messages to answering my questions, the tour operator was quick to reply and understood what I was asking (in English). The day before, you are put into a large whatsapp group and everyone going on the tour is blasted messages to let them know which transfer vehicles they will be boarding. Different drivers and guides appear along the way. An information package with vouchers, maps, and the itinerary are given out the moment you meet your first driver. Large luggage are driven up to the hotel, the train ride up Alishan was fun and beautiful in an old swaying train, and upon arrival there is someone waiting to pick you up. Timings of when to be back are verbally given out, use a translator app if you cannot understand. Watch your timings. There are a lot of people waiting for the sunrise train, you get an option to switch to a bus to go to another location too.

Fantastic tour with Johnny! He was great - kind, energetic and patient, he showed us the most beautiful parts of Alishan and a good place to see the sunrise away from the crowds, all while explaining everything thoroughly. He also took beautiful photos of us. Alishan is well worth a visit even if the drive is long - from the walks in the forest through magical landscapes to the stunning sunrise - I loved it. The accommodation was good - clean, comfortable and only a two minute walk from the train to see the sunrise.
