Passeios por Hinoki Village

This was a very well-organized trip. I wasn’t expecting much and this exceeded my expectations. From the confirmation WhatsApp messages to answering my questions, the tour operator was quick to reply and understood what I was asking (in English). The day before, you are put into a large WhatsApp group and everyone going on the tour is sent messages to let them know which transfer vehicles they will be boarding. Different drivers and guides appear along the way. An information package with vouchers, maps, and the itinerary are given out the moment you meet your first driver. Large luggage is driven up to the hotel, the train ride up Alishan was fun and beautiful in an old swaying train, and upon arrival there is someone waiting to pick you up. Timings of when to be back are verbally given out; use a translator app if you cannot understand. Watch your timings. There are a lot of people waiting for the sunrise train; you get an option to switch to a bus to go to another location too.

Fantastisk tur med Johnny! Han var fantastisk - venlig, energisk og tålmodig, han viste os de smukkeste dele af Alishan og et godt sted at se solopgangen væk fra folkemængderne, alt imens han forklarede alt grundigt. Han tog også smukke billeder af os. Alishan er et besøg værd, selvom køreturen er lang - fra gåturene i skoven gennem magiske landskaber til den fantastiske solopgang - jeg elskede det. Indkvarteringen var god - ren, komfortabel og kun to minutters gang fra toget for at se solopgangen.

Tony was absolutely the best tour guide we could have asked for on this trip! The drive to Alishan involves some winding roads, but he drove so smoothly and safely that we felt completely comfortable in the car. He is a fantastic conversationalist who kept us entertained during the long drive, and he really knows his way around the Alishan forests. A highlight was when he took us to a quiet village to have lunch and watch the train pass by—a spot we wouldn't have found on our own. He even brought his own camera and shared high-quality photos of us and the scenery afterward. I was traveling with my senior parents, and Tony was incredibly patient and made the entire experience easy for them. We highly recommend booking him for a group tour!

Overall, it was a great tour and definitely recommended. Our guide was friendly, attentive, and made a real effort, and the drive felt very safe and smooth. Since it's a one-day tour, time in Alishan is limited—you'll see the main highlights (train station, short train ride, and an easy walking route), but no longer hikes. If you only have one day, this is a great and convenient way to experience Alishan.

We came unprepared without raincoats and it was raining almost 80% of the time during those days. Still, the experience and memories from this trip were wonderful. It was tiring, but truly unforgettable. The falls were beautiful, and the old streets felt alive. I had hoped to see Jiufen at night, but even in daylight some lanterns and lights were already on, so we still got to enjoy the charm of the place. Hopefully next time the weather will be clearer so we can explore more of the shops and souvenirs. Special thanks to our tour guide, Ms. Ruby, who made sure we saw the highlights, tried the local food, and even helped us whenever we felt confused especially with the language barrier. Overall, it was a wonderful trip.

This was a self-guided tour, so there was no tour guide, but overall it was a great experience! The itinerary was clear and easy to follow, and each stop was enjoyable. Everything was organized well, making it convenient to explore with plenty of time each place. I would definitely recommend this tour to my family and friends.

All the attractions and experiences were great. The driver was very kind and sends information from time to time 😊
