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.

Get even better deals when you check out with Klook! Use my exclusive invitation code: 4LCG2E when you sign up, and you'll instantly receive an $80 shopping credit, which can be directly applied to your purchases for great savings!This theme park trip was absolutely amazing! Although the weather was scorching hot, the staff were friendly and enthusiastic, making the experience incredibly infectious! The park's performances were rich and spectacular, especially the "Attack on Water EDM Party." If you plan to get wet, remember to bring extra clothes to change into! The mermaid show, which required an additional fee, featured graceful poses and is highly recommended as an add-on.The only downside was that the escalators were out of service, which is quite unacceptable given the ticket price. Aside from this hardware flaw, the software and activity experience were still quite impressive!

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!!!

This trip was fantastic! Our tour guide, Mr. Xu, did an excellent job arranging everything for us, allowing us to fully experience the romance of the Pacific. We saw the crystal-clear waters of Qixingtan at its best in the morning, spotted dolphins during our boat trip, and the ocean color at Qingshui Cliff was truly mysterious and beautiful. He also shared some local insights, giving us a deeper understanding of the area. Thank you very much! ^_^♪

The experience was super great! The tour guide was very thorough in introducing and educating us about the marine life we encountered, and the staff were all very friendly and enthusiastic! Especially one woman wearing a white mask and seemingly glasses! She helped me a lot when I was watching dolphins at the bow of the boat. I regretted forgetting to thank her when we disembarked. I want to thank her here! The entire experience was so good that I would recommend it to friends and family!

Our guide on 15 Aug 2026 was amazing! Meeting point was clear, guide was understanding when we wanted to get breakfast before the tour. He brought us to places that weren’t even on the itinerary, making sure that we got full use of his time and service during the duration of the tour. There were no hidden charges in admission fees, he was happy to take pictures for us, advise on choices for lunch and snack locations. He was so sweet, funny and engaging too! Kept checking if all of us had understood his instructions on meetup times so that we won’t be lost. I’ve been on many Klook tours but this is the only one I’m really glad to have booked!! 10/10 would recommend and book again for sure :)

Had a wonderful day at Taroko Gorge with our guide, Lion! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour really enjoyable. We were lucky with the weather and got to see beautiful scenery and take lots of great photos. Thank you, Lion, for making the day so memorable! 😊

The scenery along the Xiuguluan River is truly worthwhile. It doesn't have to be thrilling; just sitting on the boat and slowly drifting along feels wonderful. At the end, there's even a delicious zongzi to eat, which I think is fantastic 🫶🏻

This is a great place for the whole family to visit on a nice day! There are also many small animals, which is very therapeutic! You'll find adorable calves, raccoons, and Bambi deer, offering a lot of variety! The park is large enough to spend an entire day. There are a few small mosquitoes in the park, so you might want to bring your own mosquito repellent or patches. Online ticket purchases also offer discounts! Highly recommended!

What to know before visiting Hualien
Hualien County at a glance
Hualien County is a nature-focused destination where theme parks, outdoor & sports activities and tours dominate bookings, with water activities and zoos also popular. Demand rises and falls through the year, peaking in early summer and dipping in early spring, so the rhythm of visitors is distinctly seasonal.
Best times to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in June and reaches a low point in March. Prices drift through the year: they’re typically highest around January and lowest around November, and the cheapest month is roughly half the price of the priciest month according to past Klook bookings. For lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for November or the quieter months around March; for lively peak-season atmosphere, June is the month to target. Overall, demand and prices don’t move perfectly in step here — the busiest month is not the absolute most expensive, so you can sometimes find value outside the busiest weeks.
Tips for travellers from Singapore
Most travellers from Singapore book about a week in advance, so plan your main activities early if you’re travelling in June when demand is highest. There’s still flexibility: many experiences allow last-minute booking a day or two out, but locking in options around eight days ahead helps in peak periods. Use Klook to compare typical activity options and secure popular outdoor and water-based experiences before they fill up.
