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!

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.

This is my third time coming to Yilan for water activities, and coincidentally, it's also my third time participating in an event organized by this group. Yilan offers a wide variety of places for water activities, whether you prefer mountains or the sea. This group is maintained by local Indigenous people who grew up in the area, and they lead everyone in experiencing the joy of exploring nature's hidden gems. The base facilities are numerous, tidy, and clean, and the service is excellent. This time, perhaps because there were so many people to look after, fewer photos were taken compared to last year. Now it's time to start planning next year's activities!

I was very satisfied with my trip from Banqiao to Jiaoxi on the Kamalan Bus! The reservation process was simple and convenient, the seats were comfortable and spacious, and the driver drove smoothly and arrived on time. The vehicle was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning was just right, making the entire journey very comfortable. The price was reasonable, making it easier and more environmentally friendly than driving myself. The customer service staff were friendly and patient in answering questions. Overall, it is a good choice for traveling between Taipei and Yilan. I will choose this service again for my next trip and recommend it to friends who need to travel between Taipei and Yilan!

Very easy and convenient service. The staff were able to explain the basic instructions in English, which was very helpful. The only minor inconvenience is that the rental store is a short walk from the bus station; however, it is located right outside the train station, which makes it easy to find. The scooter worked well with no issues regarding the brakes, tires, or lights. Just remember to refill the gas before returning it

The driver arrived 20 minutes early and contacted us, then drove us well according to our schedule. They even took photos for us along the way. We had booked a dolphin tour, but when we arrived, the local operator said there was no record of our reservation. The driver communicated effectively with the staff, helping us switch to an earlier time slot so we could still go. Although they were a bit older, they treated us very comfortably and drove very calmly and skillfully. There was a restaurant we wanted to try, and they even called to make a reservation for us. Despite the language barrier, they did their best using an app, which allowed my husband and me to create wonderful memories in Iran. Thank you!^^
