Even though it was tiring to paddle, it was super fun! Coach Liao was witty and humorous, and he diligently took photos for everyone. I think it would be better to come in February or March when it's not as hot. It's definitely worth recommending to experience.

A very special experience! The lead coach was incredibly dedicated and responsible. Paddling alone was completely fine (though my stamina couldn't quite keep up). Even though the waves were a bit choppy today, I persevered, and the ocean was just beautiful. So happy!!!

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 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.

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!

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!

I really love Blue Ocean's service. Every time I go, I rent a board and enjoy the fun of surfing. This time, a friend recommended booking through Klook, which also offered a discount. On August 8th, the activity was canceled due to a typhoon warning, but I give the store's service attitude 100 points. Blue Ocean is the top choice for surfing in Yilan!

What to know before visiting Yilan

Quick snapshot of Yilan County and what to expect

Yilan County is popular for outdoor and cultural experiences, with Zoos & aquariums, Historical sites and Events & shows leading bookings. Demand swells at certain times of year, while quieter months see noticeably less activity — the rhythm largely shapes how busy attractions and services feel across the calendar.

Best times to visit for crowds and budgets

According to Klook booking data, demand peaks in December and drops to its lowest in August. Prices move differently: past Klook prices were highest in July and typically lowest in August, with August often substantially cheaper than July. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for August when both demand and prices are down; for the lively, peak-season atmosphere pick December, even though prices there are not the priciest on record.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore typically book around 11 days ahead, so plan but keep some flexibility. Many popular experiences here can still be booked a couple of days before travel, but during the December peak it's wise to reserve earlier. Use Klook to compare available dates and ticket options so you can lock in the experiences that matter to you.
