Hualien
Hualien, known as a paradise of beauty, offers a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We recommend hiking in Taroko National Park to admire the magnificent marble canyons and the majestic Liwu River. Don't forget to visit the Eternal Spring Shrine, built with local Hualien marble, and the Taroko Mother Bridge, nestled in the ravine.
After enjoying the natural beauty, return to the city for a delicious meal at the Dongdamen Night Market.

The owner provided a clear briefing before departure, and the scooter was in great condition. They left about half a tank of gas for us, and we just needed to top it off by half a tank when we returned. Booking the scooter in advance on the website gave us great peace of mind, especially during long weekends when it can be stressful to find a vehicle at the last minute. The rental shop is very conveniently located near the train station, so we could return the scooter right before catching our train without having to walk too far.

we booked this because its cheaper than hiring a private car but skeptical because its mandarin speaking. so we thought it will be alright since it will just follow an itinerary. but as soon as the driver arrives we were greeted with the most friendliest driver in Taiwan and he tries to speak in English. so that matter is not even a problem. he takes our photos too. so yes, this package is worth it. for future voucher buyer, i hope u manage to get Mr. Zhang as your driver. 4hrs is alright. we even hiked the trail at Takoro Gorge for an hour. highly recommended this one.

We booked a pickup service, and the driver arrived early at the hotel to pick us up. Upon arrival, he guided us to collect our boat tickets and then to a small classroom for a briefing. After the briefing, we set off. On the boat, the guide continuously shared information and taught us methods to alleviate seasickness. Seeing the dolphins was truly breathtaking; we marveled at the wonders of nature. The dolphins swimming around the boat were incredibly impressive. The entire experience, from boarding to disembarking, lasted about 1.5 hours and was absolutely worthwhile.

An absolutely fantastic experience!!! 100 points!! The boat was very comfortable and clean! And my mom and I didn't get seasick! Others did, haha! Seeing the ocean was truly amazing! You definitely have to choose this boat; it's a great experience, and they even provide pickup and drop-off, which is very thoughtful. I was originally worried about getting sick, even though I wore anti-nausea acupressure patches, but I guess I forgot all about it because I was in such a good mood!!!! The dolphins were super cute and there were so many of them!!!! The color of the ocean was an unparalleled blue!!!

The weather was nice that day, and the waves were relatively calm. We brought our two kids (ages 4 and 6), and the four of us took a boat ride together.
We took the 13:30 boat. Hualien is very sunny, and the ocean was a deep, super-gorgeous blue. I initially thought the kids would not be able to stand the heat, but because they were so excited, they sat at the bow of the boat for the entire hour and a half, enjoying the best view.
We were also very lucky on this trip and saw lots of dolphins, which had us gasping in amazement. My 4-year-old daughter even said, "Mom, I feel so happy!" This made me feel that the trip was totally worth it!!

Highly, highly recommend! My family loved it! 💕 1. The instructor was incredibly professional. 2. We learned about Amis indigenous culture. 3. We gained a clear understanding of hunting knowledge. 4. The archery experience was very fun. 5. We tried on Amis traditional clothing. 6. We experienced making bamboo rice, grilling wild boar, and tasting wild vegetable soup (it was super delicious!). 7. Millet wine was all-you-can-drink (so happy!). P.S. Please do not drink alcohol if you are under 18. Drinking harms your health, but not drinking makes you sad. Highly, highly recommend! The kids at home loved it! 👍
