Great 4.0
The tea roasting activity and electric bicycles require an additional fee. I had originally thought that barbecue would be included (this was my oversight). Spending five thousand, but the food's refinement was a bit ordinary, and the food wasn't hot. Additionally, there were quite a few mosquitoes in the dining area and the outdoor cinema area, which affected the feeling of relaxation. The overall experience felt more like staying in a crowded RV, without much of a true camping atmosphere. However, the overall environment was clean, the staff were very friendly, the bicycles were easy to ride, and we could pet cats and see fireflies. These aspects were all very positive.

It was a great trip with our guide A Jun. He was very enthusiastic in engaging with us and took great photos of everyone. We had fun and interesting conversations along the road so it was never boring. We went to Sun Moon Lake to ride the boat and landed on the little island with the famous tea egg and temple on top. Then to Ita Thao Shopping Street to have lunch and some shopping. Next we went to the farm for sheeps and equestrian show. Do note that sheep show is only available on holidays. Overall, it was a satisfying trip.

Highly recommended for Koreans!!!!!! The Korean-language tour wasn't available on the date I wanted, so I ended up choosing this tour instead, and it was such a great choice!!! First of all, it was so nice that they picked us up directly from our hotel instead of having us gather at a meeting point haha. The tour was held privately with just 6 people in total—me, my mom (2 people), and a Chinese family of 4. The car was super spacious and air-conditioned, which was great! The driver couldn't speak Korean, but he explained everything well using a translator and some English haha. What truly touched me was that I had lost my wallet at the night market the day before T.T. When the driver heard about that, he said that after the tour ended, he would go with me to the night market to ask the vendors, kept calling the police station in between to check if any lost items had been turned in, and even offered to go with me to the police station to help file a report after the tour. We didn't end up going because we figured we wouldn't find it even if we went to the night market T.T., but he kept trying to help us, which really touched both me and my mom haha. Also, the Chinese family traveling with us translated between the driver and us in English and even bought us drinks lol. They were worried about my lost wallet together with us! Anyway, I had a total mental breakdown the day before after losing my wallet, all my exchanged cash, and several cards, but during the tour, my mind actually eased up, and I met good people and had a wonderful tour!!! I didn't know ferry tickets were included, but they were! The price is also reasonable, so Korean folks planning to visit Sun Moon Lake and Gaomei Wetlands, please use this tour!!!!! The itinerary proceeded as follows: a huge temple at Sun Moon Lake ➡️ Sun Moon Lake Visitor Center? (cool and good for a short rest) ➡️ Sun Moon Lake ferry (basic 3-stop course) ➡️ pineapple cake shop (no purchase required, has a restroom) ➡️ Gaomei Wetlands, and they dropped us off right in front of our hotel at the end haha. Oh, and you can use WhatsApp for communication before the tour~~

I was drawn by the inclusion of the forest railway, so I booked a 2-day, 1-night Alishan trip (outbound: car, return: car + train). After the reservation was confirmed, I received information about what to bring and precautions via LINE. Closer to the date, I also received detailed information about the meeting point, driver's name, and vehicle number, which was reassuring. (All in Chinese, but translation software helped.) The documents provided when boarding the shuttle car also included Japanese, which was easy to understand. The guide spoke Chinese, so I needed someone to translate for me, but there was plenty of explanation time during the 2-hour hike. The paths were well-maintained with wooden decks and stone pavements, so even with my limited stamina and in the rain, I was able to walk comfortably. One word of caution: if you use a private car transfer, there's a high risk of motion sickness because the winding mountain roads have significant inclines. Even though I don't usually get car sick, I felt quite ill during the return transfer from Alishan to Fenqihu and wished I had brought motion sickness medication.

Ease of locating the meeting point and although there is no tour guide provided on this day tour, it is very self-sufficient. The tour to Sun Moon Lake is enjoyable with lots of food choices. But for those who would like to explore the island by cable car, ferry or the bus, this half day tour may not be enough. The other half day is to visit a chocolate factory, stopover for donuts at a cafe and a visit to Paper Dome.

What to know before visiting Nantou

Quick snapshot of Nantou County

Nantou County draws most Klook bookings for outdoor experiences: zoos & aquariums, tours, theme parks, cable cars and parks & gardens lead the way. Demand peaks in April and drops to a low in August, so the island rhythms swing between busy spring months and a much quieter late summer.

Best months to visit and what to expect

April is the busiest month on Klook, while August shows the weakest demand. Prices drift down through the late summer and into early autumn: Klook data shows July is typically the priciest month for activities while August is typically the cheapest. If you want lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for August and the surrounding off-peak months; for a lively, peak-season atmosphere, plan for April when demand is highest. Note that prices and demand diverge a little around July–August: July can be relatively expensive even as demand starts falling into August.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book very close to travel time—many activities are commonly booked on the day of travel—so a spontaneous trip is practical. If you prefer to secure things early, consider booking about a week ahead, especially for April when demand is strongest. Use Klook to compare options and lock in tickets or tours a few days in advance for peace of mind.
