Passeios por Guishan Island

I went to Dolphin Watching & Jangmei Animal Farm tour. My guide Jason was really kind and helpful! I had no problem communicating in English. Dolphins were beautiful, scenery was amazing, animals in the farm were all friendly and adorable. If you’re staying in Taipei, you should definitely join this tour since the shuttle bus is included! I heard that on Monday many restaurants close so I brought my own lunch, but some restaurants are open so there’s no need to prepare for your lunch.

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 😊

Muy pintoresco, hermosos lugares a lo largo de la costa. Arthur fue un gran guía, amable yendo y viniendo para asegurarse de que todos supiéramos adónde ir. Hubo un accidente que causó un gran atasco de tráfico cuando intentábamos llegar a nuestro primer destino, lo que podría haber arruinado el día. Afortunadamente para nosotros, Arthur y la compañía adaptaron el horario para que aún tuviéramos suficiente tiempo en cada lugar.

With this bus, even if you live in Taipei, you can visit Sun Moon Lake and return on the same day. It's really convenient! You can leisurely depart from Taipei HSR Station in the morning, then transfer to this one-day tour bus downstairs at Taichung HSR Station, and arrive at the beautiful Sun Moon Lake around 11 AM! The bus first stops at a rather lovely shopping mall where you can use the restroom, buy ice cream, and souvenirs before continuing the journey. The weather was great on the day we departed, and the lake view of Sun Moon Lake is truly therapeutic. Staying here for over 3 hours was quite sufficient; you can take a boat tour to Yidashao Old Street and explore at your own pace. After leaving Sun Moon Lake, on the way back, we visited the Nina Chocolate Castle to feed capybaras, and next to it was the Instagrammable cafe, Sangxin Lab, where you can enjoy snacks and coffee, and the Paper Dome. The itinerary was incredibly rich! Finally, we returned to Taichung HSR Station around 6:30 PM, and were back in Taipei by just after 7 PM. Visiting Sun Moon Lake this way is truly relaxing! You don't have to worry about traffic jams or finding parking. Highly recommended!
