This trip to Guishan Island in Yilan was truly amazing, and looking back on it still puts me in such a great mood! The weather on the day we set sail was absolutely fantastic. The azure sea paired with the warm sunshine (perhaps a bit too warm) made just sitting on the boat and feeling the ocean breeze feel incredibly therapeutic. The most surprising and exciting part was that we were the very first boat to encounter a pod of dolphins! We estimated there were about 60 to 100 dolphins leaping and swimming all around us. The shock and emotion of seeing them up close like that are truly beyond words—we were just so lucky! Stepping onto the mysterious Guishan Island for the first time, the tour guide's explanations were a major highlight of the entire trip. Their delivery was lively and full of humor, making the ecology and historical stories sound like a comedy show. Being able to see so many cute dolphins in such gorgeous weather and listening to such entertaining guidance made for an extremely fulfilling and happy day, leaving me with wonderful memories to cherish!

From the Line customer service, to the check-in counter staff, to the crew members on the boat, everyone made me feel so warm and welcome! Here, I saw Taiwan's most beautiful scenery: "strong human kindness." Even traveling alone, I wasn't afraid of not being taken care of. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience, and thank you to the staff for sharing their knowledge. Next time, I'll remember to get enough sleep and take motion sickness medication! Although the waves were too strong to land on the island today, I saw many friendly and adorable dolphins, the beautiful Yin-Yang Sea, and the Milk Sea. The explanations were also very clear and interesting. Next time, I want to go to 401! It was my first time seeing Guishan Island and dolphins up close, and I was deeply moved. Thank you to nature for its beauty; I hope everyone will help protect it. The park around the harbor and Sunrise Beach are also very beautiful and worth visiting!

It was so much fun! Although a light drizzle started just before we set off, it added a romantic touch to the rain. Luckily, the weather cleared up later. Thank you, Coach Guava, for letting our unruly group of 12 have such an amazing time! There were many funny little episodes for us along the way, and it's a good thing the coach was still able to come to work. You are truly professional and got everyone, big and small, on the right track, leaving us with wonderful and fulfilling experiences.

The coach was very attentive and said the equipment was good, and there was even someone to help take photos. Both adults and children can enjoy the experience. However, it's best for seniors and young children to pair up to avoid getting too tired from paddling, as you have to paddle back after going out. It can get very hot in the summer, so it's recommended to bring plenty of sunscreen and a water bottle on board to stay hydrated.

Bringing the kids here for their first shrimp fishing experience was so much fun! We had barely sat down when we caught a really big, lively shrimp! The bait was dried shrimp, which was a bit hard to hook. The shrimp were quite easy to catch; we rented two rods for 70 minutes and each caught 12 shrimp. The kids felt a great sense of accomplishment! Some of the shrimp can pinch, but gloves are provided. Staff are available to assist with any questions. Shrimp crackers and drinks are available on-site, and these are included with Klook ticket purchases. There's also a shrimp fishing competition where the first few people to catch a shrimp during the same time period can claim a shrimp cracker. After fishing and weighing your catch, you can take your bucket of shrimp to the self-service grilling area across the way or have them cooked by staff. It was truly delicious and enjoyable!

It is quite fun, and the kids had a wonderful time. When their legs got tired from pedaling, they could relax them in the cool, refreshing water. The kids could not only easily reach the pedals, but they also controlled the direction very well, giving them a great sense of accomplishment 👍. First, park your car and check in, then walk to the opposite shore and take an electric boat along the waterway. You will disembark underneath the Aquaman statue, wait for the instructor's guidance, and then begin the pedal boat experience. The space between the two bridges is our designated activity area. At the end, we enjoyed some delicious ice cream 😋.
Instructor: Will instruct us on where to store our belongings, how to be careful, the activity boundaries, and how to get on and off the boat safely.

This is a highly recommended attraction in Yilan! The fishing and shrimp scooping experience at Dawen Leisure Farm is incredibly fun and suitable for all ages. The environment at Qingqin Yueduo is also very comfortable, making it perfect for a relaxing yet fulfilling half-day family outing!

Location: This is a new public beach, but there are too many activities in the mixed waters. Those playing SUP or kayaking might collide with swimmers, snorkelers, and people playing in the water. There are free showers inside the public restrooms, and a parking lot nearby, though parking fees are higher on holidays. Safety: SUP is very safe, with no wind or waves within the buoyed area. Equipment: The SUP boards are new, and the paddles are smooth and easy to use. Instructors: They are all humorous, professional, and easy to get along with, though the photo angles and quality are a bit unique. Experience: Overall, it was good, and I would purchase the 2-hour experience next time.

Great experience! we paddled the SUP alone the beautiful coastline all the way to a hidden beach and back. The instructor was very kind and thoughtful. The equipment was decent and there was a place to shower when we got back.

What to know before visiting Yilan
What to do in Yilan throughout the year
Yilan's most-booked experiences on Klook show a mix of outdoor and wellness options: Zoos & aquariums, Historical sites, Events & shows, Massages and Cruises lead the way. Demand follows a clear annual rhythm — bookings climb into January when Klook data records busier-than-usual activity, and dip through summer with the quietest month in August. Use that rhythm to plan: cultural and family-friendly outings suit the busier months' atmosphere, while massages and quieter coastal cruises can be easier to enjoy in the less crowded months. All figures and season notes are from Klook booking data.
Best months to visit and price patterns
January is the city's busiest month on Klook, while August is the quietest, and prices move independently at times: nightly activity prices peak in July but fall to their lowest in September, so crowd levels and prices don't always match. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider September or the quieter summer weeks; for a lively atmosphere choose January when demand is higher but some prices are moderate. Overall, plan around the contrast between demand and price to get the experience you want.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | PHP 773 |
| February | Busier than usual | PHP 535 |
| March | About average | PHP 595 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 595 |
| May | About average | PHP 535 |
| June | Busier than usual | PHP 595 |
| July | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,081 |
| August | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,784 |
| September | Quieter than usual | PHP 535 |
| October | About average | PHP 595 |
| November | About average | PHP 1,606 |
| December | About average | PHP 595 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to base yourself in Yilan
Hotel prices on Klook vary across districts. Luodong is the most affordable district with a typical nightly rate of PHP 4,698, while Su'ao sits at the top end with a typical nightly rate of PHP 10,228; that's roughly 54% more at the priciest end compared with the most affordable. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget and relaxed, local stays, whereas pricier districts are better for those after a more upscale hotel experience. All nightly-rate figures come from Klook booking data.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book ahead by about 8 days, with the earliest planners booking around 27 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means a moderate level of planning pays: lock in popular activities at least a week ahead, and during busy January consider booking earlier to secure preferred dates. For flexibility many experiences remain available with only 1 day's notice for last-minute plans. Use Klook to compare options and reserve ahead when visiting in peak months to avoid disappointment.
