The communication a day before the tour was great. Klook rep contacted via whatsapp and Guide 陈先生 followed up with the contact. Guide was early and explained the itinerary before our set off, it ended up as a private tour was there wasn’t anyone else. 陈 took us on a relaxed and chilled ride, introducing us to the scenic spots and the way of life in taitung. Much appreciate his sharing and knowledge! Recommend! Great flexibility and comfortable tour.

We enjoyed our informative tour with Xiao Hei/Black the other day. He drove us to some interesting places connected to the history and culture of his people, and we learned a lot. Xiao Hei was very helpful - we didn't have a car, so he taught us to take the train to the nearest station. Thank you for teaching us about your people, Xiao Hei!

Breakfast: The host prepared it with great care, featuring two pieces of bread spread with smoked salmon and cream cheese, a green salad, fruit, and German sausages. Dining is on the rooftop with a beautiful view. It was warm out, but the breeze was very cool and refreshing!

Our stay at PASA Beach Resort was very pleasant. The location is great, the environment is quiet, and it is very close to the beach, making it ideal for relaxation. The overall atmosphere is very comfortable, giving off the feeling of a lesser-known hidden gem in Taitung. The scenery is wonderful, and the owner is very friendly, recommending places to visit and eat, which made our itinerary much easier. The room was clean and comfortable, and the surrounding environment was very quiet, making it perfect for anyone wanting to get away from the crowds and truly unwind. If we visit Taitung again next time, we would love to stay here once more.
