Qingshui Cliff tours

I am penning this down to write an outstanding compliment to our tour guide Mason whom not only amazing/ knowledgeable at what he does, but also who went all out to save our lives during the 2024 earthquake where Hualien was at the epicentre, 2 days ago. The day before the tour, Mason contacted us personally to arrange the pickup from our hotel and to confirm the time. When we first met on the day, he has been an amazing guide, so vibrant, humourous, lively and full of zest. He took the time an effort to remember our names personally and engage/interact with us whenever he can. Not forgetting he is also a great photographer and knows all the best spots to stand to have the best angle on all the location. Just ask him and he knows the best Love the “Taiwan Island” group photo he took for us; attached below. Mason’s exceptional expertise in Hualien and Taroko Gorge was evident in every aspect of our journey. His in-depth knowledge, attention to detail, and engaging storytelling brought the history and beauty of the region to life. We felt privileged to have such a knowledgeable guide who not only shared valuable information but also fostered a deep connection with the place. His passion for the destination was contagious, and we left the tour with a newfound appreciation for Hualien and Taroko Gorge. In fact, it’s from this trip I’ve discovered that my ancestors thousands of years ago are linked to the Amis people of Taiwan and that got me mindblown ! Something that even my family was not aware of that we have roots all the way in Taiwan. After the day tour, we went our separate ways and the very next day was the fateful day where Hualien was struck a 7.4 magnitude earthquake where we were at the epicentre. As Mason has our contact number, he personally checked on us on our wellbeing. Many of us are panic-stricken from the natural disaster. I was about to check out from my hotel when the disaster struck and was informed all roads and trains up north to Taipei has been closed or damaged from the earthquake. We were trapped in Hualien unable to leave the epicentre. There is no way out from the city to evacuate. Mason literally came to the rescue ! He used his personal car to pick us all up from the hotel and some of us stuck at Hualien Train station. The only way out from the epicenter to Taipei is to drive 7 hours convoy south towards Kaoshiung and take the HSR, which he tireless drove non-stop all the way to ensure the safe evacuation of the 7 of us. He said he felt a sense of responsibility to ensure us visitors are safely evacuated out from the disaster area and that we can safely return to Taipei and back to Singapore for our flights. Mason has been our life saver as we were literally trapped in Hualien if it wasn’t for his heroic endeavour to organise an evacuation route for us within his own resources. I am thankful and grateful for his valiant act to ensure safe passage out of Hualien and it is highly commendable ! Thank you Mason Cheng Kuo-Hsiang 鄭國祥 for rescuing us from a natural disaster ! Your heroic efforts deserves a medal !

We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion to Taroko Gorge with Harry. He made sure we had time to enjoy all of the sights, and we did! The Gorge is gorgeous -- sorry about the bad pun. The icing on the cake was the drive to and from the Gorge. Not only was it beautiful; it had unexpected sights, such as large weekend houses owned by wealthy people from Taipei surrounded by rice paddies. If you want to see Taroko, this is a great way to do it.

Fun, didn't get to see whales but saw many dolphins. Transfer was on time and made it easier to travel to the location, which is quite secluded.

The day tour was really worth it and offered great value for our money. The places visited was breathtaking and amazing. Definitely a highlight of our Taiwan trip. The tour guide was accomodating and helpful.

really good for value package which include transport accoms and few activities. pickup drop off at train station to harbour was a kind gesture, then pickup our luggage from harbour to accommodation on the island. would have been great to have a 4D3N option if you love sea activities and exploring

This tour is highly recommended. Worth every penny since you will see a lot of tourist spots in just a day with no hassle at all! Tommy, our guide was amazing. He was very informative and would tell us where to buy the best souvenirs and Taiwan delicasies. He was also very thoughtful as he would tell us about the things in the area like pickpockets and where they sell expensive stuff. Our bus driver was also great since we always arrived if not on time, early. Lastly, I recommend this tour especially for those who are staying in Ximending area. The meet-up point was very near to my accommodation and even if we arrived at night, I had no worries since my accommodation was just around the corner.

Book the itinerary for a romantic trip on the road. The water activities in the morning are super fun with the family. Peng Peng Beach is beautiful, and the team leader is dedicated and humorous. Before each activity, the coaches also pay attention to safety. Every member will know Ask if the group members who can swim or not swim will swim to the side to help board the boat as soon as they fall into the water, so that everyone can rest assured to play. The number of people and time are also arranged appropriately. They will take turns to play 8 water sports facilities. I have also played many times👍 The captain of the cruise in the afternoon is very enthusiastic, and will carefully explain the unforgettable memories of being lucky to meet sea turtles while watching seabirds. Thank you Yinhai team! 😊

Frankly speaking, it is not cheap. The approximate time is to gather at 7:30 in the morning and return around 3:30. The tour guide and driver of Qimei will introduce the scenery, but the amount may be too much, just say what needs to be said. Wanan’s tour guide and driver didn’t even bother to talk to introduce us. The time schedule is quite tight, but this is a good way to travel to both islands in one day. The time is controlled. If you don’t mention a particularly beautiful place, you won’t be able to stay too long. The whole group is probably a large tour bus with the number of people. Therefore, each other will affect each other. This kind of itinerary is suitable for quick sightseeing, but not suitable for slow tour appreciation. Then when we go to Wan'an Island, the tour guide will guide us to eat at a simple restaurant, the price is reasonable (additional payment), but in fact there is also a FamilyMart nearby. After observation, if you feel it is very hot, you don't have to eat in the store. Overall, the scenery is super beautiful. If you have limited time, you can see the most beautiful scenery on this trip.
