Go out to sea by boat, enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the rare leisure time. The undulating mountains in the distance contrast with the blue sea and blue sky. Whales and dolphins jump out of the sea, showing their vitality and elegance. The splashing water seems to be the joyful song of the sea. Observe these charming creatures and feel the mystery and magic of nature. This journey is full of surprises and leaves beautiful memories. I look forward to experiencing this touching experience again next time.

After purchasing the tour, add Whale World's Line account to receive notifications about check-in details. The young lady who explained everything after check-in was very clear, articulate, and fluent. After boarding, we put on our life jackets. The boat was clean and tidy, and the staff provided detailed explanations throughout the trip. They also reminded the children at the bow to be careful and reminded parents to take good care of their kids. On this trip, we saw spotted dolphins, and the explanation was very clear, interesting, and humorous. We also understood the importance of tourism and ecological environment protection. Whale World whale watching is highly recommended.

The instructor was absolutely amazing - so humorous and funny (and even hung out with us!😆). Their photography skills are top-notch👍🏻, and we got so many photos (check out this one of our backs😜). The teaching style was also easy to understand (even those too scared to stand up at first ended up succeeding 👏🏻). We booked super last minute, just two days before, and a lot of instructors were at the harvest festival, so it was hard to find someone. This instructor came all the way from Taipei to Hualien just to teach us and didn't cancel our booking (so touched🥹). The scenery at Liyu Lake is stunning. I highly, highly recommend this activity!😍

Fantastic experience. The weather was great and I had a great time seeing the dolphins twice. The guide is in the local language, but foreigners can go and see it without any problems. I definitely recommend visiting when you visit Hualien~

We went river tracing at Sapadang River during our trip to Hualien. The stream water was clear and cool. Led by the coach, we moved along the stream valley, climbing rocks and diving. Every step was full of challenges and fun. The moment we jumped into the deep pool was the most unforgettable, both exciting and refreshing. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with mountains and streams interwoven, allowing people to relax completely. This trip not only brought us closer to nature but also enhanced the understanding between companions. It is really worth experiencing.

Take the train to Linrong New Guang Station, but be aware that train services are infrequent, so pay attention to the train schedule. The park is large, so it is recommended to rent a golf cart for $600/2 hours. It's a relaxing and pleasant way to explore the park.
