Things to do in Ita Thao Pier

What a great experience, enjoyed every minute of this fab tour and all thanks to our fabulous tour guide. the journey was quite long but well worth it and the highlight was cycling around the lake with the group. highly recommended.

We booked a sunrise paddle boarding experience. The location was changed last minute but the company accommodated us by providing transportation from our hotel and back. This is a beginner experience but you should feel comfortable on a board because there was little instruction available in English. We stayed in the cove the entire time which was disappointing. The highlight was that they took wonderful pictures of us together

​We had a great time exploring Chiayi, Alishan, and Sun Moon Lake, thanks to our guide, Mrs. Joanna Lin. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable,warm, and patient with us at every stop. ​The only issue was the transportation. A Toyota Wish for four passengers felt too tight and uncomfortable for the long travel hours involved in this itinerary. Upgrading to a slightly larger vehicle would make this trip perfect. Thank you to Joanna for being such a wonderful guide!

We had a wonderful day trip from Taipei to Sun Moon Lake! 🌊 The journey was around 3 hours each way, so it was a long day, but the breathtaking scenery made it absolutely worthwhile. The lake was extremely beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. A special thank you to our tour guide, Tommy, who was so friendly, helpful and welcoming throughout the trip. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Although the travel time was quite long, Sun Moon Lake is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Taiwan! ❤️

The two young men at the Traveler's Inn provided excellent service. We saw them busy running around early in the morning, yet they were still so friendly to us, which we really appreciated. The bicycles themselves were also great to ride. When we returned them, they even gave us two cups of black tea! 👍 Sun Moon Lake is truly beautiful, and we'll definitely visit again next time! 🥰

Never thought the Qingjing farm has really cool and nice weather. Definitely the highlight of the trip! We were even able to see 2 shows. Sun Moon Lake boat trip was really relaxing. The Old English Manor was really picturesque! We had a great time!

The owner is very friendly. The 6-speed ladies' bike was more than enough for the Shuishe-Xiangshan route, and I didn't get tired. Although there weren't many ladies' bikes, the owner maintains them well. Using the QR code made borrowing the bike smooth and easy. There was no time limit. It was a pleasant experience.

Hi. I would recommend our driver Andy! He is well versed in different languages. He tried to have small conversations with us and even explain to us the history about each venue. The car is comfortable and he really knows which playlist to choose to play in the car to keep away the awkwardness with other passengers around. Thumbs up!!

It was unfortunate that the transfer we booked separately did not drop us where the bike rental is located but it's okay as we still enjoyed the Sun Moon Lake and was able to walk around. Good thing that the ropeway was just a 10-minute walk so we were able to ride it immediately. We're lucky that it was a weekday so there's not much tourists so we got the gondola by ourselves only. The claiming of ropeway was easy, we just went to 3rd floor and showed the qr code and they stamped our hands with glow in the dark stamp for Formosan and we're already set. It was a good 5-10min ropeway ride. At the end of the ropeway from SML, there's few food stalls. Upon entering Formosan, just scan the stamp in your hand and you can ride the gondola again going to the theme park. It was a weekday so we had the place to ourselves and there were no queues. It was unfortunate that it rained the whole day but we still got to ride some of the rides there.
