Hualien Day Tour with Transfer Service: Whale Watching, Qixingtan Beach, Xincheng Old Street & Taroko Gorge | Taiwan

Good driver and tourguide, good food. I did not see whales but lots of dolphins. The driver tried his best to accommodate our needs. The gorge is breathtakingly beautiful.

This tour gives a glimpse of all the tourist highlights in Hualien. Our friendly guide made sure we are having a pleasant time getting to know the city and learning about the local culture. A most recommended tour. Thank you for making it a memorable experience for me and my friend.

This package was super worth it and hassle free! Had no problems meeting up with driver etc. Tour does not come with a tour guide separately, but driver guide instead. Driver also explains attractions and helps us along the way. However it would be good if u have a sim card that can call out just in case u need to contact the driver. Otherwise Kkday helpdesk would also help to contact but expect some delayed response. We managed to see a group of dolphins but no whales. Whales are hard to see everyday please manage your own expectations. The dolohins that we saw that day came in a very large group (30+ ish of them?) and it was a very fulfilling experience. The trip to Taruko national park was very nice as well. You can see the greatness of nature up close and it is very convenient when u are on bus.

Took one star off for the worst lunch ever with a tour. The driver is super; we were the only passengers in the minivan. The dolphin watching experience was great; we saw a family of Risso’s dolphins diving in/out of the ocean. The lunch arranged by kkday is very disappointing. On the booking, kkday stated the lunch would be at Pacific Food Co. (太平洋食府）or similar restaurants and kkday travelers were all very impressed by the lunch at Pacific Food Co. Instead of Pacific Food, kkday arranged our lunch at Mhuway 達吉利共用生活空間, which is very different from Pacific Food Co. The lunch plate consists of 1 veggie, 1 pork/veggie, 1 chicken/veggie skewers, salad and rice. The food was lukewarm and didn’t taste good even though there were no other diners in the restaurant. They gave the driver the cheap veggie skewers lunch plate! We left feeling hungry.

The next time you go out to sea to find a wave is not too big, you will have the opportunity to see whales and dolphins. The driver guide is great. Next time I will purchase this coupon again.

A highly recommended trip, it was a worthwhile trip 👍 We saw a pod of dolphins interacting with us in groups. In the afternoon, we went to Taroko, Qixingtan, etc. The tour guide Mr. Xie was really nice. He answered all my questions and responded to all my requests. Thank you🙏!

It was a small team of less than 10 people. Even though I couldn't understand the explanation because I didn't know the language, the activity itself was fun.

Our driver and guide was very humorous and explained a lot of information about Hualien. He was very patient. The whale watching guides were also working hard to find whales. After an hour, we finally saw a lot of patterned dolphins and sharks. We were very lucky! I hope you all can see it as you wish~

It is worth recommending. The wind and waves are really strong, but you can see a lot of whales, which is very happy! Those less than 10 meters long are dolphins. I was very happy to see two kinds of dolphins that day!

If you book your own train ticket to Hualien (it's not difficult at all...), you can enjoy the spectacular scenery of Taroko Gorge and take a whale-watching boat tour in one day. If you come to Taiwan, be sure to visit Hualien :) I had a great trip with my father, and I was thankful that the guide used a translator to communicate as much as possible. Congratulations!
