I had a lovely time at the workshop making my own unqiue braclet. Although my mandarin isn't very good, I managed to understand the process with the instructor's great demonstration and basic english. She helped guide me through the different stages of melting the glass, combining colours and creating cool patterns on the bead. The workshop itself is in an old sugar factory, which has been converted into art and craft studios and eating establishments, so definitely have a look around!

We are very grateful for the option of having a tour for two people, which allowed us, a single adult and child, to deeply explore the Luan Shan Tribe and discover its hidden gems. The guided tour and explanations were very detailed, giving us a deeper understanding of Bunun culture. The VR experience was so much fun! My child absolutely loved it. The slate house experience was excellent because it was just the two of us without other tour groups, making for a very high-quality trip. The meals were also exquisite and delicious. It was a very unique and memorable experience!

This was a very enriching experience! Even though I don't speak Mandarin, Syong Zan was able to adapt to me. He was very kind, patient, and a great teacher. It was an excellent time that will leave you with both memories and gifts!

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.

Jiaming Lake has always been on my life's must-do list. This time, I was fortunate to join the "Mountain Forest Secret Realm" tour, where leader Cheng-Feng guided us daily through challenging terrain to each scenic spot. Everyone got along well, and with the beautiful scenery and laughter, it was truly a worthwhile trip. Highly recommended.

Thank you, Brother Luo, our driver and tour guide! We appreciate you contacting us in advance and considering that we hadn't eaten yet. You kindly took us to buy 'amai' and millet donuts to tide us over. Despite the bad weather that day (due to a typhoon), we still visited many places, and because there were no other people, we had a unique experience. We thank you for your help and service. It was excellent and great value! We hope the company recognizes his dedication and hard work.

Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy Taitung's scenery without the hassle of planning!

What to know before visiting Taitung

Quick snapshot of Taitung County

Taitung County’s Klook bookings are dominated by Parks & gardens, outdoor and sports activities, and water activities, so the destination suits travellers who enjoy nature, active days and coastal experiences. Demand on Klook has clear highs and lows through the year, with noticeable bursts of interest in certain months rather than a steady flow.

Best times to visit and how prices move

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is February while March sees the weakest demand. Prices drift up and down across the year: Klook data shows prices are typically lowest in April and reach their highest typical level in June. That means April is a good bet for lower prices and quieter conditions, while February and late‑year months with higher demand suit travellers chasing a livelier, peak‑season atmosphere. Note that demand and price do not perfectly match here — for example, peak demand in February does not coincide with the priciest month in June — so you can sometimes find off‑peak crowds even when prices are higher or vice versa.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book activities for Taitung about four days ahead on average, with some last‑minute options available a day before; if you prefer planning, locking in bookings a week or two earlier helps in the busiest months. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for April; if you want the peak atmosphere plan for February or other high‑demand months, and consider reserving popular outdoor or water activities on Klook a little earlier to secure your preferred time slots.
