Hualien | Experiência de Canyoning Secreta

We were picked up at our lodging and taken to beautiful mountain scenery. Our guide was so strong that if I took the more difficult path instead of the easier one he could just lift or support me in the current. I am grateful for him and the lovely English he spoke. We even got hot noodles to warm up part way. Best experience!

This time, we went river tracing in Hualien at the Shuobadang Stream. The water was clear and refreshingly cold. Led by our coach, we advanced along the stream valley, rock climbing and cliff jumping. Every step was full of challenge and fun. The moment we jumped into the deep pool was the most unforgettable, both thrilling and cooling. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with mountains and streams intertwined, allowing for complete relaxation. This trip not only brought us closer to nature but also enhanced the camaraderie among companions. It was truly a worthwhile experience.

My first river tracing experience was with Hualien River Tracing King. Because it was summer vacation, there were many groups that day. Our group had 15 people, with two coaches looking after us from front to back. The coaches also helped everyone take photos and took great care of every team member. The entire trip was very fun and exciting. Soaking in the stream in summer was just wonderfully cool. After it ended, there were hot instant noodles to eat. This experience was excellent 👍 I will definitely come again next time!

Our coach was kind and humorous, prioritizing our safety and sharing a lot of knowledge about river tracing and wilderness survival. Most importantly, he took many beautiful photos for us ❤️

The experience was truly excellent value. Our group of 10 had very experienced and humorous coaches. It's also fine to wear glasses; just ask someone to hold them when you jump into the water. If you wear contact lenses, just close your eyes 🤣. Leave all your belongings in the car and only take yourselves to the river tracing, so you don't need to worry about forgetting anything. I recommend wearing flip-flops for convenience when changing clothes. If you're temporarily scared, you can also walk on the rocky path (super beginner-friendly). Generally, you'll be in the water most of the time, which is super cool (and with a life vest, you can float around). The coaches will take photos for you at any time and drop them to us at the end. The scenery is beautiful, comfortable, and safe. When we finished, the coaches even had instant noodles ready for us to eat. It was truly super happy, in short, highly recommended!

With the hot weather in the summer, river trekking was a great way to cool off and also explore the beautiful natural scenery of Hualien. It rained the past few days so the water level and intensity was higher than normal but it was fun regardless and done in a safe way. The coach, xingtian, was also a great, chill guy, and picked us up (half day, transportation included package) which was very convenient. We were in a group of 5 so there was really no waiting time and we could do all the activities (cliff jumping). Highly recommend if you want an activity that takes you out of your comfort zone safely. Planning to come back and maybe do a full day tour if possible someday. Note: You don't need to bring anything like goggles, passport, and etc, just a change of clothes and a towel to help dry off. Would recommend to wear a swimsuit before getting there so you don't need to change in the tent, putting on the wetsuit outside was much easier and faster.

Amazing experience with our guide, Xiao Tian! I highly recommend this!!! The clearest river I have ever swum in and very cooling. You can choose to do the jumps/slides. Physical fitness requires for climbing over rocks. I speak very little Chinese and the tour wasn’t available in English, but it didn’t matter too much - we had another traveller who kindly helped translate and you can generally follow what everyone else does.

The whole experience was quite physically demanding, but our group, which included both elderly and young members, completed it without anyone falling behind. The accompanying team was excellent, providing care throughout the entire journey, both at the front and back. They also made stops for rest based on the group's condition, making it a wonderful experience.

Our activity was postponed to the next morning due to weather. But communication with them was easy (in Mandarin). This is a different kind of activity for me. It was fun floating in the cold water and the cliff jumping (7m high!) was insane. Honestly, the climb up to the top was scarier than the jump itself. The noodles at the end made it good as well. Oh! Do wear long pants so that you won't get bitten by their mosquitoes. And you can bring your phone if you want, just remember to use the waterproof holder. Bags are left in the van.

An absolute must-do experience amidst nature! Everything was very beautiful and fun.
