Fantastic 5.0
We had a great time making scallion pancakes (note that the pink dough is actually dough infused with dragon fruit and not food coloring), picking/ washing scallions (although it was raining), and visiting the small animal farm (fed some deers, donkeys and sheep). Highly recommend this for young kids - although I must say adults will enjoy it just as much.

The coach provided a very detailed introduction to horses, allowing us to touch and feed them. We also practiced how to ride before heading to the beach, where we were given free rein to control the horses ourselves. The horses were all very gentle and well-behaved. The coach even taught us how to take beautiful photos and helped us capture them. I truly loved this horseback riding experience and would definitely go again if I have the chance. It was fantastic!

The campsite facilities are complete and clean, and the transportation from the transfer station is convenient, about a 20-minute drive, making it excellent value for money. Even in August, it wasn't too hot at night without air conditioning. There were two cute dogs roaming around. The staff were attentive and friendly, and they even recommended some great attractions. We had a wonderful trip to Yilan! (★>U<★)

River tracing was an absolutely incredible experience! The scenery was breathtaking and the route was perfectly planned. ​A huge thank you to the team for being so professional and organized. The guides were super friendly and incredibly kind—they made us feel safe, kept the energy high, and even took amazing photos for us. ​If you’re in Taiwan, you have to book with these guys. Highly recommended!

Our camping trip to Zawa Zawa was truly fantastic! The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, as we set up our tent and organized our gear, they thoughtfully asked if we needed any help and if we had everything we needed, which made us feel very warm and cared for. During our stay, they were also very enthusiastic, inviting us to share delicious food and chatting with us. It felt less like a typical camping trip and more like relaxing at a friend's house; the atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and laid-back. Compared to many campsites where you just confirm your spot, set up your equipment, and then leave after packing up the next morning, this place offered so much more genuine hospitality. It really made a huge difference! The overall experience definitely deserves a five-star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We will definitely come back to camp here again if we have the chance!

Every coach on the team was very responsible and dedicated, ensuring my son and I had a safe and enjoyable first white-water rafting experience. They also took many beautiful photos and videos for us, leaving us with wonderful memories.

The instructor was very patient, and I quickly learned how to control the horse to move forward and turn. Afterward, we rode along the riverside for about 40 minutes. This was followed by a stable tour and feeding carrots to the horses. The stables were very clean and odor-free, and the horses were well cared for. I highly recommend this experience for beginners!

The day before, please pay close attention to the contact notification for the meeting point. If you are staying at the OA Hotel, the meeting point will be near the OA Hotel. Otherwise, it will be at the entrance of Toucheng Coastal Forest Park. Getting this wrong will be frustrating! The horseback riding experience was great; the horses were well-behaved and followed commands. My child and I both loved it.

I was very lucky to book the last available room on Klook, as other booking sites showed no vacancies. It's also a rare pet-friendly RV campsite! However, there are quite a few insects in nature, and small bugs occasionally appear in the room. If you're very bothered by this, you might want to reconsider. The breakfast was very generous!

What to know before visiting Yilan

Quick snapshot of Yilan County and what to expect

Yilan County draws most bookings for zoos & aquariums, historical sites, events and shows, massages and cruises, and demand rises and falls noticeably through the year. Klook data show a clear busy season around January while late summer into early autumn sees much lighter demand.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data mark January as the peak month and August as the trough; demand is higher across the winter months and dips through July–September. Prices are not perfectly aligned with demand: July is typically the priciest month on Klook even though demand is already dropping then, while September shows the cheapest typical prices. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in September or August; for peak-season atmosphere and events, aim for January when demand is strongest.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book about eight days ahead on Klook, with last-minute options often still available a day before. If your trip falls in January’s peak season, plan and lock in popular activities earlier—outside of peak months you can be more flexible and still find good options. Use Klook to compare category options like zoos, historical sites and cruises and secure the experiences you most want before they sell out.
